Every student needs a devoted teacher who gives a solid foundation while learning to play the piano! I focus on helping my students learn the fundamentals, along with classical, pop, jazz and current music, by teaching each student with a positive attitude. What is most important to me is a student who loves to play the piano! I began my musical education with piano lessons at age 5, learning technique, classical, theory, jazz, and pop. Continuing lessons in piano, I also learned organ, most band instruments, and how to conduct. I attended St. Mark’s & The Academy of Our Lady, ICC, and Bradley University majoring in music education and piano performance. I started teaching private piano lessons at age 15 to children, teens, and adults. In the early 90’s I created and taught all of the Peoria Park District piano program classes. I taught group lessons at Valeska Hinton and several private schools. While living in Champaign-Urbana and Southern California, I taught private, group lessons, and theory classes at community college. I love teaching every age, especially ages 14-90 years old, with a few spots open for children. My hobbies and interests are art, crafts, knitting, and pets.
