Where do you teach?

I currently offer both online and in person lessons from my home in near Birch Lane Elementary School in Davis, California.

How will I benefit?

My main goal is to help you experience the joy of music, keeping music as a lifelong companion on your path. I hope you will experience natural self expression through playing, that you will learn a variety of musical styles, and that you will have a wonderfully fun and self-affirming learning process.

What kind of music will I learn?

You’ll learn a wide variety of musical genres including classical, blues, contemporary, gospel and accompaniment pieces.

Why should my child take piano lessons?

"A study published in 2007 by Christopher Johnson, professor of music education and music therapy at the University of Kansas, revealed that students in elementary schools with superior music education programs scored around 22 percent higher in English and 20 percent higher in math scores on standardized tests.”

"Research has found that learning music facilitates learning other subjects and enhances skills that children inevitably use in other areas.”

"According to the Children’s Music Workshop, the effect of music education on language development can be seen in the brain."

“Recent studies have clearly indicated that musical training physically develops the part of the left side of the brain known to be involved with processing language."
