I majored in music at Iowa State University and have been teaching piano for 30 years!  Although many former students have pursued careers in music, my goal is for students to become life long music makers and patrons of the arts.
 
Piano lessons are a unique relationship in that I often get to be part of a students life for many years!  If a child starts as a toddler in Kindermusik and continues through high school, I could be lucky enough to share 17+ years of music education with them!  I enjoy staying in contact after graduatation.

Yamaha Piano Lab

Each student has their own Clavinova digital piano with headphones.  Students play for me to hear and they can also be connected to a partner for duets.  There is also a Steinway grand for use.

Lending Library

There is an extensive music lending library.  More than 10,000 pieces are available for checking out.  Popular, Disney, classics and everything in between!  Educational, interactive music theory is available on computer as well as iPads.

Recitals

We share our recitals with residents at local nursing homes.  The seniors LOVE it, the kids LOVE sharing their music with the seniors and it's very casual and fun for everyone!
