My primary purpose in teaching piano is to serve those who desire to build on their musical talents or to tap into that undiscovered gift of music. I welcome the opportunity to earn your trust and provide you with the necessary skills to make music at the piano a rewarding experience for yourself and for others. As a teacher, I strive to work with each student's musical interests while also introducing other repertoire to enhance a full range of music appreciation. I believe introducing music early on in a child's life contributes to the fundamentals of learning. When the gift of music is then shared, it becomes a stepping-stone to making a difference, not only for oneself, but for others around you. I am a member of the Phoenix Music Teachers Association and Arizona State Music Teachers' Association. I encourage any student to enhance their playing performance by participating in the annual PMTA piano ensemble and two recitals a year. Most of our recitals are held at senior centers where each student is able to give back to their community in sharing their abilities. I have personally played piano for over 40 years. I prefer to teach in my own studio, however, will consider travelling to student's homes. I attended Grand Canyon University of Phoenix, Arizona, where I studied piano. I have served as a choir accompanist and church organist. I thoroughly enjoy teaching and contributing to the musical growth in my individual students. I look forward to meeting you and your student.
