About Me

With a diverse teaching and professional performance background, I welcome the opportunity to offer musical learning and experience, and immense enjoyment. From the excited youth and child, the beginning adult, to the professional and/or the emerging young pre-professional, I have enjoyed all backgrounds of students, not only of the United States, and also in conservatories and universities of Bermuda and Hong Kong.

My goal is to assist in discovering the tools for great individual progress. This includes those considering music as an exciting interest and process, as well as those considering music as a potential professional endeavor.
