About 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!

Piano lessons overview

I offer engaging and personalized piano lessons that integrate music theory, ear training, and expressive musicality. My technique-focused approach caters to beginners, adults, children, and advanced students alike. I specialize in teaching on a variety of piano types, including grand, upright, classical, and electric keyboards. Using online tools like Zoom, Google Meet, and interactive resources, I enhance each lesson to suit the student's needs and goals. My strength lies in creating interactive, inspiring, and cross-cultural lessons that keep students motivated and eager to learn. I help students develop not only technical skills but also a broader artistic perspective. I ensure effective musical growth in a fun, creative, and supportive environment. I believe every student has a unique musical voice, and my goal is to nurture that individuality through curiosity-driven learning. I strive to foster creativity, critical listening, and artistic confidence—building not just capable pianists, but expressive, thoughtful musicians with a lifelong love for music.
