Fast Facts
My classes are inspiring and practical, equipping students with tools for their individual success. Each piano lecture and lesson is interactive and customized, being quite literally a “hands-on” experience. In both the classroom and my studio, we focus on growth in playing, performing, and even composing. The goal is progress, building both confidence and creativity as skills develop!
I love teaching at a smaller Christian university because it allows me to connect personally with students and build meaningful relationships. For me, the classroom is both a place of learning and ministry, where I can encourage and equip students for growth in their studies and in life. I am an AU Alumna myself, which makes it extra special to be here!
Success in music forms when talent, education, and effort meet – because achievement always mirrors commitment.
