About Me

Me with my two sons (who are also my piano students!) after a piano recital

Qualifications:

  • Over 15 years experience as a piano teacher
  • Bachelor’s Degree in Instrumental Music Education from Wisconsin Lutheran College
  • 13 years experience teaching music in schools
  • I have taught piano to all levels from beginner to advanced, and all ages from kindergarten through adult.

My Philosophy of Teaching:

  • It is my philosophy that students should not just learn how to play the piano but understand the music they are playing. Lessons on music theory are built into the progression of lessons so that students have a full understanding of how the music is put together.
  • A huge part of learning a musical instrument is personal practice in between lessons. My lessons focus on teaching students how to practice effectively so they can get the maximum amount of results with the effort they put into practicing.
