Betty - Your piano teacher

With over 20 years of experience and dual Bachelor's degrees in Piano Performance and Music Composition, I bring both depth and passion to every lesson. I specialize in personalized, engaging instruction that blends technique, music theory, ear training, and artistic expression. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced player, I tailor lessons to fit your goals—classical, jazz, or contemporary. I teach on grand piano, electric keyboard, and more, helping you master not only repertoire but also the musicianship that brings music to life. As an active performer and award-winning composer, I bring real-world musical insight to my teaching. My work draws from both Eastern and Western influences and spans solo, chamber, and large ensemble settings. I’ve collaborated with artists and ensembles like Ensemble Modern, Jeffrey Zeigler, and Romer Quartet, and performed with the Shepherd School Symphony Orchestra and Bang on a Can Festival. Let’s make music together—one inspired note at a time!
