Beginners and intermediate students, children & adults all find a welcoming and supportive environment in my studio both in person and online. A Multi-Faceted Musician, Composer, Educator and Harvard Mom, I have a unique skill set as former Head of Fine Arts motivating very large groups of students. This challenge transformed my studio into a springboard for innovation and growth, leading to premium piano lessons (private & group). If you live close enough I can potentially even come to your home. Spots are in demand so don't hesitate to reach out soon.
Whether pursuing RCM exams or exploring pop/composition, and theory my goal is seeing you or your child develop a lifelong love of the piano and craft expressiveness and musicality. Getting to know the individual student, strengths and areas of focus is a priority at my studio!
New to Piano? I keep my studio numbers relatively low in order to get to know each student as an individual and ensure personal attention and develop an individualized learning plan that works for you. Most of my lessons are individual private sessions. But ask about new beginner group lessons which are less expensive and a great introduction to the piano. Theory is convenient, highly effective and less expensive in small groups online. Last year all my students received first class honours with distinction on their RCM theory exams.
When not teaching I am usually walking our affectionate dog or playing tennis! "Decades of expertise. Discover your inner melody"
