My Students

My piano students come from a wide range of backgrounds; we have piano majors, those who have never had a music class before and everyone in-between. We learn piano together in high-energy classes of twenty and experience collaborative learning and music-making at the piano. In our beginning classes, we learn essential piano technique, music notation and exciting repertoire. Our intermediate students hone their skills and get out of their comfort zone as they become fluent music readers and collaborative performers. I prepare our advanced students for further piano study in high school through a number of solo and ensemble performances and contest opportunities designed to bring out the musicality in each student.

This year, we welcomed one of our largest classes of incoming piano majors!

Their enthusiasm and potential are infusing our department with excitement for the school year. Some of our piano majors are so excited to be here that they give me a "thumbs up" several times during classes! All of my students have expressed a deep love for the piano and a desire to learn how to play. I'm so lucky to be able to work with them all this year!

My Project

Our school is in a wonderfully historic 101 year old building. While we love the history of our building, we face many challenges when it comes to climate control. The first floor rooms, where our piano labs are located, have ongoing issues with humidity which leads to unsafe mold growth and damages our instruments.

We need dehumidifiers for our piano lab so that our acoustic pianos stay in good condition and remained tuned all year long.

High humidity has a negative effect on the wood in acoustic pianos and causes them to fall out of tune almost immediately. Because I can only get our pianos tuned once a year, losing tuning that quickly is catastrophic for the performances, exams, and auditions we host on these pianos throughout the year. Can you help us keep our pianos in tune by providing us with some wonderful dehumidifiers?
