During my PhD in Musicology at Duke University, I designed and taught music theory and music history courses for college undergraduates. It is my joy to see students have those "lightbulb" moments in their learning, making connections and mastering new concepts. I also hold a Certificate in College Teaching from Duke University which has provided me the training to communicate clearly, structure student learning effectively, and help solve student problems in ways that are efficient and evidence-based.

I adapt my tutoring style and method based on the student's individual needs—I can help you work through specific questions or zoom out to develop a deeper, more holistic understanding of musical concepts. I am particularly able to help students with AP Music Theory course work, skills at the piano keyboard, aural skills development, or questions about music history. Prior to Duke, I earned my BA in Music from Stetson University (2013) and my MM in Piano Performance from Texas Christian University (2020).

I am a former contract pianist at Disney Springs in Orlando, Florida, and I have published and presented my research at conferences across the country. In addition, I have extensive experience teaching piano and working with students of all ages in both one-on-one and instructional settings. I am eager to support you in achieving your musical goals.

I have a BA in Music from Stetson University, a MM in Piano Performance from Texas Christian University, and a MA and PhD in Musicology from Duke University. I designed and taught several courses for undergraduates while at Duke and earned a Certificate in College Teaching in the process. I have taught piano lessons privately for over 20 years and was a contract pianist at Disney Springs. In short, my holistic music experience has prepared me to help students with any musical topic.

My PhD in musicology has given me expertise in general music, and I also have a Master of Music in Piano Performance from Texas Christian University. I have performed classical piano internationally at festivals and have taught piano for more than twenty years to students of all ages. I was also a contract pianist at Disney Springs in Orlando, Florida for several years, making me well versed in many styles of playing. I'd be delighted to help you along your musical journey!
