Teach the
note.Find the voice.
I help young musicians turn technique into expression through playful structure, patient coaching and lessons that feel like a kite catching the next musical current.
Let curiosity set the tempo.
My classroom balances musical literacy with discovery. Students learn to listen closely, build confident technique, and make expressive choices rather than simply reproduce notes. Every lesson has a clear destination, with enough room to improvise along the way.
A musical toolkit, not a checklist.
Skills are represented as a five-dot listening scale instead of generic percentages, because musical growth depends on context, repertoire and the student's next challenge.
Piano technique
Posture, touch, coordination, scales, sight-reading and repertoire-building with musical intent.
Vocal expression
Breath, diction, phrasing and confidence for students finding a healthy, natural singing voice.
Aural musicianship
Listening games, rhythm, pitch memory and practical ear training woven into everyday lessons.
Improvisation & composition
Low-pressure creative prompts that make theory tangible and give students ownership of sound.
Lessons with a little lift.
Each pathway combines a musical goal, a small technical focus and one creative challenge, a repeatable rhythm that still feels personal.
Foundations that sound like music.
For beginners and developing players who need strong fundamentals without losing the joy of playing. Sessions blend technique, repertoire, ear work and mini-improvisations.
Exam & recital coaching
Performance planning, musical interpretation, mock run-throughs and confidence-building.
Creative musicianship
Improvisation, songwriting prompts and theory through sound, ideal for curious students.
From first notes onward.
