I am a strong believer that everyone should be able to have a life of music. That's why I became a teacher. Whether you're just a beginner or an advanced student needing guidance, let's explore music together!

I offer private and group lessons, separated by skills level. If you're unsure about which level is appropriate for you, I could offer you a placement test.
