About Me

If you're looking for a mentor who can unlock your true musical potential, I am honored to help you reach your musical goals! Why Choose My Studio? I hold a Bachelor of Music in Piano Performance and Pedagogy from Brigham Young University and a Master of Music from the prestigious Peabody Conservatory of The Johns Hopkins University. You will receive top-tier, Ivy-League-level training tailored entirely to your goals. I prioritize a supportive, structured environment, blending technical proficiency with deep artistic expression to match your current ability and learning style. Who I teach: Ambitious Youth & Competition Prep: For students looking to win awards, ace exams, and audition for top university programs. Enthusiastic Beginners & Intermediate Players: For those who want to build a bulletproof foundation of reading, rhythm, technique, and musical integrity from day one. Adult Learners: For adults seeking a rewarding, enriching hobby focused on beautiful, enduring classical and chamber repertoire.

How I Teach

Whether you are a beginner looking to build lifelong skills, an advanced pianist preparing for competitive auditions, or an adult student returning to the keys, I welcome you to my studio! I believe that music is a positive, stabilizing force that brings immense joy, focus, and confidence to our lives. My studio is built on a simple philosophy: success is achieved through continued effort and great mentorship, not just raw talent. Because a successful musical journey is built on small steps, I celebrate every milestone with my students—especially the small ones. I have a proven track record of success. My students don't just learn to play—they excel. My studio has produced top-prize winners at international competitions, as well as top scorers in state and national festivals. My instruction expands beyond the piano. Through disciplined, supportive practice, I help my students develop global life skills like goal setting, razor-sharp attention, resilience, and patience. I customized my lesson plans: No two students are the same. I have mentored students to top awards at the prestigious Golden Classical Music Awards International Competition, the American Mountain West International Piano Competition, Solo Ensemble State, AIM, and National Federation of Music Clubs (NFMC) Competitions. My students have performed in prestigious venues including Carnegie Hall, Libby Gardner Concert Hall, and The Noorda Center for the Performing Arts.
