As a composer, producer and pianist, I seek to complement a visual story with music. Being adventurous and bold while having fun are
paramount to my success as an artist.
As a piano teacher, I foster a welcoming environment for my students. With lots of encouragement and patience, I help them find courage, confidence and joy in their musical journey.
