I like moving kids into "real" music quickly so they get hooked faster and can see their results. I am 20 years old and have been teaching piano since I was 15 and I've taught the range of students - one who was autistic (BTW, many of my students are on the spectrum) and didn't even touch the piano until the very last day of summer lessons to a beautiful 80 year old woman who decided it was finally time to cross piano off her bucket list. I've taken piano lessons most of my life with several different teachers but having ADD, I found the 2 teachers that taught me how to write music made the most impact on me and help transform music into a love. I play piano, ukulele, guitar - acoustic and electric, bass and dabble with other instruments, like violin and dulcimer. Besides music, I've been a FT volunteer, called a pioneer, since 2019. I have twin brothers 3 years younger than me and we live in beautiful Oregon.
