About Me

Hello! I'm a passionate pianist and dedicated educator from North Bethesda. As a student at Walter Johnson High School, I am deeply involved in our community's strong music programs.

For the upcoming school year, I will be advancing my studies by taking AP Music Theory and the highest-level piano class offered, and I will be starting as a member of the symphonic band. My experience as an intermediate player and dedicated student allows me to provide high-quality, foundational instruction.

My teaching philosophy is to make learning piano an enjoyable and rewarding experience. For younger students, my age is an asset, allowing me to serve as a relatable peer mentor who understands the pressures and goals of today's students.

In-Home Lesson Services

No Piano? No Problem!

I bring a high-quality, 88-key digital piano to every lesson, so you can learn in the comfort of your own home, instrument provided.

Beginner Piano

Perfect for absolute beginners of any age. We will build a solid foundation from the ground up, focusing on making music from the very first lesson. My goal is to make learning fun and rewarding, building confidence along with skill. We'll cover note reading, rhythm, proper hand position, and playing simple, recognizable melodies.


Intermediate Piano

For students who have the basics down and are ready to tackle more complex music and ideas. We'll work on refining your technique, expanding your repertoire into more complex pieces, and developing your unique voice as a pianist, covering repertoire from classical to pop and improving speed, accuracy, and dynamics.
