What I Do

  • I have been playing live music for over 10 years, from classical music and jazz to country and funk. Performing is my passion and I love to create an energy on stage that brings musicians and audience members together.

  • I have played on and co-produced several albums available on all streaming platforms. Scroll down to see more!

  • I love to restructure music for all different shapes and sizes of ensembles. From solo piano to string quartet to a cappella, I create custom-tailored adaptations based on the performers’ individual styles and expertise.

  • I teach both in-person and Zoom lessons. I blend technical instruction stemming from a background in classical piano with a desire to help students learn their favorite songs: from sonatas to soundtracks!
