Piano instruction for all ages. I enjoy adult students as well as beginning and advancing students. Singing is important for developing music sensitivity and expressiveness and is incorporated into lessons when students are willing. General music instruction includes music theory, ensemble playing, improvisation, and basic composition. Students gain poise and confidence to have positive performing experiences. I draw upon different types of music to suit the interests and abilities of the student.  

I have performed as a soloist, collaborator and accompanist. I've taught K-12 music and university-level music education. Upon retirement from a university administration career of 30 years, I resumed teaching in my private piano studio.
