Professional Piano, Violin, and Music Theory instruction for students of all ages.
Whether you are a budding musician with sights set on a top conservatory or someone who wants to build a solid foundation and play the pieces you love, then you are in the right place. I believe that lessons and curricula should be tailored to the goals and strengths of the student and I individualize lessons to ensure that you reach your goal while acquiring the necessary technique and theory that will allow you to go further if you wish to do so.
