Private lessons in Cary for children, teenagers and adults, from first notes to advanced repertoire.
Piano
Classical, jazz, popular, film music and more. Whatever style draws you in, we build the same foundation: reading music, technique, rhythm, ear training and theory.
Voice
Healthy vocal technique, breathing and interpretation for beginners and experienced singers. Voice and piano can be combined for singers who accompany themselves.
Performance and exam preparation
I prepare students for recitals, competitions, auditions and certification exams, and I can handle the registration and planning. Studio concerts take place several times a year, so every student performs in a friendly setting to show their progress and prepare for any competition they might want to partake.

Common questions
Is there an age that is too young or too old to start?
No age is too late, and many children do well from the early school years. I teach children, teenagers and adults, and I shape each lesson to the student in front of me.
Do I need a piano at home?
Regular practice is what makes lessons work. An acoustic piano is ideal. A digital piano with weighted keys is a good choice for beginners. Ask me before you buy and I will help you choose.
Can I learn the music I love?
Yes. We choose repertoire together, from classical to popular music, while building the technique and reading skills that make any style easier.
How do I get started?
Send a message with the student’s age, experience and goals. I will reply with available lesson times and rates.
