A Letter From Your Teacher

Music is something I hold very close to my heart. There’s nothing like the magical experience of leaving a concert filled with inspiration and a roller coaster of emotions. When I see my students, I think of my 13-year-old self finding his way into the piano universe. Had it not been for the people who allowed my heart to glow with ambition, I would not have discovered the true beauty and the full scope of what music can do for the soul. My goal as a teacher is to equip students not only with the skills to learn repertoire and essential piano techniques, but also with the ability to become their own teacher — so they can reach the heights they dream of and be fulfilled for life.
