Lesson Information

I’m a Portland-based pianist, teacher, and composer with a mission to provide affordable, personalized, student-centered lessons tailored to each student’s ambitions and skill level.

My approach is designed not only to challenge students at a practical level, but also to help develop a deeper appreciation for the beauty of music, promoting engagement from a renewed perspective. I aim to support each student’s unique artistic voice, while helping them grow with confidence, creativity, and clarity in their direction.
