Teaching Philosophy
As a music therapist with a passion for teaching, I am particularly drawn to working with adult students who have a genuine interest in learning piano for the sheer joy and fulfillment it brings, rather than solely for the purpose of passing exams. My approach to teaching is rooted in creativity and interactivity, aiming to engage students on a deeper level. I believe that music is a universal language, and the songs we explore together are not limited to classical pieces. Instead, I embrace a wide range of genres, including pop and movie soundtracks, Christian praise & worship songs, and contemporary instrumental music, which can be both calming and conducive to relaxation. In our lessons, we will explore various musical styles and themes, allowing students to connect with the music on a personal and emotional level.

Our Promise to You
Getting Started Together
We don't offer free trials, but we do something better - a relaxed 2-lesson getting-to-know-you period. You can pause anytime with just 24 hours notice. After your third lesson, we ask for a friendly 2-lesson heads up if you need to stop.
Life Happens - We Get It
Give us 24 hours notice for any cancellation or reschedule and you'll receive full credit. Planning a family vacation or summer break? Perfect - just let us know a day ahead and we'll pause your lessons.
When You're Under the Weather
If illness strikes with short notice (less than 24 hours), you'll still be charged since your teacher has reserved that time. However, most teachers are happy to offer makeup lessons when possible - they have the final say, especially if last-minute cancellations become a pattern.
Stopping Lessons
Need to take a break? We just ask for a 2-lesson notice:
Weekly lessons = 2 weeks notice
Every other week = 3 weeks notice
Twice weekly = 1 week notice
Summer breaks are different - no notice period needed when you return in the fall!
