Bio

I grew up in Southern CA and played piano all my life beginning with classical studies at age 6. I moved to the east coast and obtained my music degree from NYU in 1995 and began teaching in Greenwich Village NYC in 1999.  All the while I taught I continued to take lessons from some of the world’s greatest musicians living in NYC.I was classically trained, but ventured into jazz and pop studies after college.  I played jazz solo gigs in New York City as well as accompanied singers, performed and sang my own material at songwriter venues, accompanied rock bands on keyboards and performed classical music in the recital galas I hosted for my students.

I returned to Southern California at the end of 2011 and have been teaching in San Diego since. I am a member of the Music Teacher’s Association of California.
