for students ready to grow.
Environment
My Georgetown studio is a welcoming space with quality instruments where we can have a focused lesson.
Philosophy
Piano study in this studio is about more than learning to play pieces—it is about learning to make music thoughtfully and independently.
Students are guided to:
- develop a beautiful tone and expressive playing
- understand how music is constructed
- think creatively, including shaping and adapting arrangements
- build skills progressively through time-tested repertoire
Experience
My work as teacher, collaborator, and coach has been strengthened by my 50 years of experience while exercising of my craft. My degrees in sacred music & piano performance, my constant awareness of students/musicians as individuals, combined with my own lifelong learning have made my instruction effective. From those who come to me to learn to play piano, to the local church services I play, to those I help prepare for performance & auditions, to high school UIL soloists — seeing their progress adds great value to my life.
