In light of COVID-19, I’m excited to offer online music lessons at a sliding scale (name your price). My areas of expertise include piano, cello, saxophone, theory/composition (classical, jazz…), and songwriting.

  • Lessons may last 30 or 45 minutes (depending on the needs of the student).
  • Lessons are delivered online primarily through Google Hangouts, Skype, or Zoom.
  • Free lessons are prioritized for K12 students or students with financial need.
