I started learning piano when I was 13 years old. Having grown up around music, the passion I have for piano is in my blood. I hold a certificate in piano and have since taken intensive professional training in counterpoint, orchestration, harmony and the theory of music. I’ve been teaching for over twenty years. I love sharing my enthusiasm with those around me and spreading the love of music.

Working with me, students learn proper body posture for playing the piano, effective and fun techniques for sight-reading and much more. They learn to enjoy playing music and have fun!

I had my first piano lesson when I turned 13. After successful completion of two years of studying piano formally, I went on to refine my piano skills under the supervision of famous musicians and composers. My passion for music led to intensive professional training in counterpoint, orchestration, harmony and the theory of music. I have experience as a vocalist in choir.

I have continued to develop these vocal skills, taking relevant courses at Skyline College, CSM College and San Mateo College.
