This studio is an fun, stimulating environment where the focus is on the student and on creating music.

I have been teaching piano for over twenty years and playing for thirty years. I studied music at Indiana State University where I also received my Masters in education. I am a very patient teacher and work hard to individualize each lesson for every student. Knowing that each student is unique, my lessons are not one size fits all.
