Bio
With my modern teaching approach, students progress more rapidly than with traditional methods, focusing on areas that yield the greatest results. An inviting, well-equipped studio at The Piano Centre provides a warm and friendly atmosphere for students to develop their skills. My students learn all the tricks I’ve spent over a decade unearthing, opening the door to musical discovery.
My goal is to imbue each student with a deep understanding of music and to unlock the secrets of the keyboard, paving the way for a fulfilling musical journey and lifelong skill acquisition.

Teaching Info
Unlock the Keys:
Gone are the days of the piano feeling like an intimidating vortex of black and white. Students quickly gain confidence in their playing abilities, mastering the fundamentals of the instrument and feeling increasingly at ease at the piano.
Beyond Just Songs:
To truly derive joy from playing, it’s essential to uncover the secrets early on. Understanding the mechanics of music empowers pianists to play creatively, improvise, and lose themselves in the music. Lessons are tailored to each student’s unique needs, ensuring clarity and understanding. My teaching style is both fun and informative, creating a pressure-free environment where learning can flourish.
Learn at Your Pace:
I’m here to support you in pursuing your interests. Learning any instrument can be daunting, and not knowing where to start can be discouraging. But it doesn’t have to be that way. My aim is always to teach foundational skills in a practical manner, using material that resonates with the student. Whether you’re interested in jazz, blues, pop, rock, folk, funk, soul, latin, or something else entirely, I’m excited to teach and help you enjoy the learning process. In addition to playing melodies, chords, and bass lines, you can explore improvisation, playing by ear or reading sheet music, accompaniment for singing, music theory and harmony, songwriting, composing, and technique.
