Music has been central to my life for as long as I can remember. 

​

I grew up in a difficult environment and found stability at the piano during a time when very little felt steady. Practicing each day gave me structure and focus, helping me to process my experiences through discipline and sound. That early relationship with the instrument shaped not only how I play, but how I teach. 

​

I later pursued formal study in piano performance and committed myself fully to developing the technical and artistic tools required to perform at high level. Through years of disciplined work, performance experience, and mentorship, I developed a clear understanding of what serious pianists need in order to grow consistently and perform with confidence. 

​

Today, my teaching reflects both rigorous training and lived experience. I work with advanced students, conservatory applicants, and dedicated adult pianists who are committed to playing at the highest level. My approach is structured, direct, and highly individualized, with a strong emphasis on consistency, tone, musical clarity, and performance readiness. 

 

That journey, from an uncertain beginning to performing and teaching at the heart of Steinway's world in New York City, is the foundation of everything I bring to this studio.
