​

What are your favorite hobbies outside of piano?

Outside of playing piano my favourite hobbies are gardening, reading, interior decorating, walking, watching TV/Netflix, and spending time with my friends & family.

​

What is your favorite food?

All food is my favourite, especially when I don't have to cook it! But if I had to pick just one...taco salad. It's a taco...and a salad! Coffee too...I consider it a food. Also chocolate.

​

What is your secret hidden skill?

I can write you a song about anything...right now!

​

What is a strength you have as a teacher which you're excited to share?

As a teacher I love to get to know my students and find the simplest and most creative ways to teach each one. I think learning should be engaging and fun and something that inspires you to keep challenging yourself and your abilities. With a little dedication even average jane's and joe's can be terrific musicians. Music brings me joy...I just want to share that with my students!
