Payment for the whole month is due the first of the month, with a grace period extending to the first lesson of the month if you pay by cash or check. I provide materials and charge for reimbursement as they are supplied to you, or in will instruct customers how to purchase their own materials. Please inquire directly for rates. I do not charge a recital or participation fee.

I like to have a short video call to meet the student (and parent if applicable), discuss my teaching methods and policies, and go over any questions. From there potential students can think about lessons or go ahead and sign up!

I learned how to teach piano through the guidance of international pedagogue, pianist, and University of Texas Professor Sophia Gilmson as well as jazz pianist, educator, and director Dan Redner. This is in addition to drawing from my own experience as a musician and teacher. A teacher since 2019, I am a member of the Music Teachers National Association (MTNA), and the Austin District Music Teachers Association (ADMTA).

I started my journey as an educator in the last year earning of my music degree and business minor at UT Austin. Many musicians find themselves teaching as simply a way to generate income, but I quickly found it to be something I was passionate about.

All sorts! I've taught students as young as 4 years old and as old as retired age. I work with beginners and transfer students. Lessons are not genre-specific, but most of my students play classical, pop, rock and all will learn how to read music at some level.

In November 2024 my students performed in a bi-annual recital. While the recital is one afternoon, we spend several weeks preparing music. Before the recital we meet for an informal masterclass/dress rehearsal as a chance to run through the performance and get feedback. It’s also a way to meet other students and build community!

Find someone who respects your time, money, and is professional. Don’t assume that being an experienced musician translates directly to being an effective educator. They are both skills that must be nurtured.

Does the student have (or is able to obtain) a well-maintained instrument? If not, I am always happy to help find one with the student. Does the student have a quiet place and time to practice? For parents of young students: are you able to observe lessons and help guide daily practice sessions (with help from the teacher)? Are your expectations realistic? Pogress happens through regular practice, so keep in mind that learning an instrument is a daily commitment.
