Are you or someone you know looking for a private music teacher to teach you or or child music?

Does your child have special needs and has shown an interest in playing the piano?

Finding a qualified music teacher who is supportive and caring is not an easy task.

As an experienced music teacher and music therapist, I can assist you in reaching your musical goals. I love teaching music and working with students who are interested in learning the piano or who want to improve their musical knowledge and skills.

I invite you to contact me to discuss how piano lessons can benefit you or your child. In addition, I teach violin, viola and cello. I also teach students with special needs.
