Making Music Fun
"What we learn with pleasure we never forget."
-Alfred Mercier
I truly love teaching and want my students to enjoy learning to play the piano. I strive to create a friendly, comfortable atmosphere where students can enjoy their musical journey. I often incorporate games, musical accompaniments, duets, challenges, and, of course, humor in lessons to keep our time together enjoyable and motivational. I meet each student at their level whether they are a new beginner or seasoned player, and challenge them to learn and grow.
My Instruments
My studio is equipped with a Yamaha C1 grand piano and a Yamaha Clavinova electric piano. Students have the opportunity to learn on a professional instrument and discover the joy of playing duets and two piano pieces. I also have various percussion instruments for rhythm practice or to add a fun background to pieces.
Convenient Location
My studio is located in Newfields, NH, which borders the towns of Stratham, Exeter, Newmarket, and Epping. I'm a short drive from Brentwood, Greenland, Durham, Hampton, Lee, and Portsmouth. During lessons, families are welcome to wait in my house or take advantage of the Rockingham Recreational Rail Trail which abuts our property. The trail provides a beautiful location all year long for walking, running, biking, fishing, bird-watching or cross-country skiing.
Online Lessons
Lessons may be taken online in the comfort of your own home on a regular basis or just as needed. Students receive the same individualized attention and customized program but can curtail the commuting time. This resource has been invaluable during the Covid epidemic, when the weather makes traveling difficult, and for busy families.
Personalized Performances
I am available to play at weddings, parties, church services, concerts, and dinners. I also love to accompany singers and instrumentalists. I'd love to work with you to help create the perfect atmosphere for your event.
