My Mission
My mission is to bring music to the workplace so that music making can be a part of people's everyday lives, even into adulthood.
Whenever I meet someone new and they find out that I am a pianist, the first thing they say is, "Oh, I've always wanted to play the piano. I really wish I hadn't quit."
Music seems to be an important bucket list item for so many people but it can feel impossible to fit into adult life. At-work music instruction is a unique way of bringing music to adults - right where they are. And where did I get the idea for this program ? Right where ingenuity is prone to strike - while I was at the piano, practising!

Hosted "Open Mic Nights" with my students and their families - These events were some of my most rewarding experiences. I hosted them because I recognized that it would be hard for children to take their music study seriously if they didn't see that it had a place in adult life. I also knew that many adults have musical skills and dreams and I wanted to give them a platform.
