We believe every student should be given the chance to take control of their own learning & progress

My Mission

MY MISSION is to grow a passionate group of violinists and pianists who know how to practice effectively so that they are always learning and making progress.

I spent years not improving in either violin or piano because I thought the music I wanted to play was too hard. Or I would lose motivation because it didn't seem like I was improving. 

 

I was so FRUSTRATED becasue I wanted to play piano for churches and accompany students for their solo/ensemble contest, but couldn't because I didn't feel capable. I was a good musician, but couldn't share it because I'd get too nervous. 

NOT ANYMORE! After over a decade of research and trial and error on myself and private students, we are conquering our 'once-too-difficult' pieces, our stage-fright, and our feelings of frustration. The piece I'm currently working on is Gaspard de la Nuit by Ravel!

You are a good musician you just need to learn how to practice effectively!

You're feeling

  • Overwhelmed because you haven't picked a new piece in years

  • Worried that don't have the necessary skill to learn a new piece

  • Annoyed because you would LOVE to play for your friend's wedding 

You Know

  • You're a good musician: you have been playing for years and have learned new pieces in the past without a problem, but have seemingly reached a wall in improvement

  • You need a teacher that will show you how to keep learning away from the lesson time

You want

  • To be excited about performing and sharing your talent

  • ​To bask in the compliments of all your hard work

  • To keep your grandma's love of music alive by playing her favorite music on the piano she cherished
