I am a classically trained pianist and vocalist with a combined 30+ years of experience in piano playing and vocal performance, and I teach private voice lessons and private piano lessons in Seattle. My favorite styles to perform include standards and jazz, pop, show tunes, decade hits, Disney, light classical and folk. I have been named a “Top Performer” & “Best Of” on GigSalad since 2021. Click here to visit www.GigSalad.com to read all 5-star reviews & book! Currently available to perform within the greater Seattle area.

My area of study at Iowa State University was Music Education and Vocal Performance where I also had the distinct privilege of studying opera with operatic success Simon Estes. After college, I was hand selected to sing in a choral collection directed by Almeda Berkey at Carnegie Hall in New York City. Now I perform all over the Seattle area and surrounding communities, including Tacoma, where I performed at the Tacoma Dome for the 39th, 40th and 41st Annual Tacoma Holiday Food & Gift Festival. Recent venues include the Space Needle, Obelisco, Chateau Ste. Michelle, Sunset Club, Epulo, and Blu Sardinia.

In 2023 I added choral directing to my resume. This pursuit has not only proven to challenge what I thought I knew about musical expression and harmony, but it has also given me great fulfillment as a music educator and performer.

Private lessons are conducted one-on-one. Each student’s lesson plan is individualized to best fit their learning speed and abilities. Piano lessons cover the fundamentals of music theory and teach students how to read and play music, improved sight reading, ear-training, performance technique and improvisation. Voice lessons focus on technical and performance skills, breath control, and range extension. 

Music is the greatest language of all, and I look forward to helping you find your own personal dialect.
