Studio is located two miles from Little Rock AFB and near Hwy. 107.
I have been teaching music for more than 20 years both abroad and in the States. I have students of all ages currently in my studio and accept all levels of playing ability. My #1 goal for a beginner is to get them reading efficiently as soon as possible because that is the key to efficient learning of repertoire.

The studio has a state-of-the art Roland Intelligent Digital Piano with recording capabilities and Yamaha Digital Pianos also with recording capabilities via computers and technology, which is used to enhance the quality of music education in the areas of music theory, sight-reading, and composition. The lab uses modern technology to teach and drill basic theory skills in a fun and exciting way. It will open up new opportunities for ear training, improvement in sight-reading and overall musicianship while encouraging experimentation in improvisation and composition. The computer lab features Windows computer workstations where students can work with mainstream software and equipment for music notation, and computer-assisted instruction in music theory and aural skills.
My goal as a piano teacher is two-fold: to nurture the artistic spirit in each person and a lifelong love of music and learning through a wide variety of types of repertoire, including classical piano music, sacred pieces and hymn arrangements, pop, and ensembles; to help each student achieve their highest musical potential through performance, listening, technique, theory, music history, ear training, and memorization.
