Thank you for your interest in taking piano lessons. Let me tell you a little bit about myself and my background in music:
​
Born and raised in Los Altos, CA - I got an early start playing the piano, beginning lessons when I was six years old. In elementary school I also learned a variety of other instruments, like saxophone and trumpet.
​
At Mountain View High School, I was an active member of both the advanced jazz band and marching band (no, I didn't march around with a piano - I was in the drumline!)
​
In college I picked up Bluegrass Banjo as a hobby, which turned into my second most-played instrument. I recently graduated from Santa Clara University with a degree in music and computer science. I have been teaching since early 2016, and currently have around forty students ranging from 5 - 60 years old.
​
I'm always happy to start lessons with a new student whether he/she has musical experience or not. I use a low-key teaching style to help keep our lessons a stress-free environment. Head on over to the FAQ page to learn a bit more.
