Welcome to My Piano Studio!
With many years of professional teaching experience, my approach is warm and encouraging, while systematic and goal oriented. My advanced students regularly place at the highest levels of competition, perform with orchestras, and enjoy successful conservatory auditions.
Besides advanced students, I also enjoy teaching for pleasure, including adult students of all levels, and beginning and intermediate children. If you are interested in lessons, please read detailed information on my piano lessons page by clicking here.
