Would you like your student to experience learning an instrument in a way that is both focused and sensitive, disciplined and joyful?

Does your student need structured support and technical instruction to break through to the next skill level on their instrument?

Do you want your student to study music in a sustainable way (avoiding burnout!) and enjoy playing their instrument for the rest of their lives?

When joining my studio to study piano or violin, you can expect…

  • Weekly lessons that are fun and challenging.

  • Showcases and recitals that bring students together to celebrate their progress, and encourage their continued learning.

  • A high level of technical instruction, crafted to meet each student’s needs.

  • Guidance to help students observe and assess themselves and so, with time, become their own best teacher.

I am currently offering lessons in Elmira, New York, and online.

The studio schedule will follow a carefully-designed flow that includes weekly lessons, rest weeks, showcase weeks, and recital weeks.

Weekly lessons

Weekly lessons are designed to develop focus, sensitivity, determination, and resilience. Each session will be crafted to the student’s pace and development.

Rest weeks

Rest weeks are like the musical rests between the notes. They give each growing artist a chance to take a break, be refreshed, and avoid burnout on their musical journey.

Showcase weeks

Showcase weeks are opportunities to gather as a studio, share works-in-progress, and draw from the encouragement and energy of playing and learning together!

Recital weeks

Recital weeks are pure celebration. Students share their music live or on video, loved ones cheer them on, and everyone is inspired and energized for the next phase of music learning!

I will never insist that a student perform. Showcases and recitals are invitations to be seen, heard, and celebrated, and a student’s personal choice will always be supported.
