About Me

Hi! I’m Keri — a conservatory-trained pianist with 5+ years of teaching experience and formal pedagogy training. I specialize in beginner to advanced students, offering personalized piano and voice lessons that integrate music theory, sight-reading, technique, ear training, and performance preparation. I’ve worked with students at every stage: from complete beginners to advanced learners preparing for auditions, and performers getting ready for recitals and competitions. I adapt my methods to each student’s learning style and pace, helping them stay confident, focused, and motivated.

How I Teach

I use a student-centered approach grounded in strong musical fundamentals. I design individualized lesson plans that develop solid technique, note reading, rhythm, and musical expression. From the beginning, I incorporate music theory and ear training so students understand what they’re playing — not just memorize notes. I adapt lessons to each student’s learning style and pace, with the goal of helping them build confidence, express themselves musically, and grow into independent musicians.

Why I love teaching music

I started piano when I was 7, and music has been a part of my life ever since. Teaching allows me to share the same joy, curiosity, and creativity I experienced growing up. There’s nothing more fulfilling than seeing a student light up when they finally understand something, or when they play a piece they once thought was impossible. Helping students grow, express themselves, and develop confidence through music is why I love teaching.
