Professional concert pianist and piano teacher, i am very passionate about teaching what i love most - music. I am as much as home on the concert stage as in the classroom, and i have many years of experience teaching all levels, from absolute beginners to music university students. Each student comes with a specific set of challenges and i truly enjoy sharing the music i love and helping students find their way around their instrument. I believe that the key to teaching well is to develop a good rapport with students, to understand their needs and expectations, and to focus on the encouragement of artistic and musical development I am a graduate of the Univeristy of Indianapolis, The Univeristy of Fine arts Berlin and the Mozartuem University Salzburg. I have a postgraduate degree in Piano Performance . I have been performing on stages around the world for nearly two decades, and this has given me a rich experience and an ability to connect well with others.
