What Makes My Approach Different From Other Piano Teachers?

A Conservatory Approach in a Positive Encouraging Environment

Your child will receive high-level instruction from a classically trained pianist in a supportive environment.

Student-Centered Teaching

As an experienced piano teacher, I tailor every lesson to your child’s learning style, personality, and pace. That’s how we keep progress steady and frustration low.

Technique that Builds Confidence

I combine the most effective elements of the Taubman approach, Alexander Technique, the Russian school, and modern up to date pedagogy to give students a solid technical foundation. My teaching blends these styles to help each student play with freedom, clarity, and confidence—building skills that last a lifetime.

We Learn Through Play

Younger students learn best through games, visuals, and movement. My lessons are interactive, imaginative, and fun so they want to come back!

A Massive Music Library

With a studio library of over 3,000 books and scores across three full bookshelves, I can choose music that challenges, inspires, and support exactly what your child needs at each stage of their training.

Parents Are Part of The Team

We believe learning works best when students, teachers, and parents all work together. That’s why we stay in close communication, so you always know how your child is progressing and how to support practice at home. Inspired by the Suzuki approach, we encourage parents to take an active role in the learning process.

When I’m Not Behind the Piano…

I love exploring the Kenai Peninsula—especially hiking the Skilak Lookout Trail, fishing, and cooking. I spent part of my childhood in the Philippines, where my mom’s family is from. In our home, food and music are how we show love.
