“I believe that music is such an essential part of our lives. It is something that we can go to whenever we need to express ourselves. It is a tangible way to connect with others and is something we can rely on for the rest of our life. As a piano teacher, my mission is to instill that love for music to my students and turn it into a gift of a lifetime. When a former student tells me that they still play for fun I feel that I have achieved my purpose!”
