I have been teaching music to children, teens, and adults for over 20 years, both privately and in group settings. I am so thankful for the joy I see that music brings to my students and parents. I am always amazed at the powerful effect that music has on each child I teach and treasures that special moment when I see the student connect with the music, another child, parent, and teacher. I believe that all children should have the opportunity to learn and enjoy music which is why I have dedicated my life to giving every child and family the opportunity to learn and experience music. I have studied at the University of Houston; attended workshops and master classes at Westminster Choir College; and continues to attend master classes and workshops.

I also held office as Publicity Chairperson in the South Jersey Music Teacher’s Association. My passion for sharing music and inspiring others has led me to a full-time schedule of over 40 students weekly, ages ranging from four to 84 years old, including beginners through advanced levels. In addition to my private students, I have been on the faculty at Holy Rosary Catholic School and Kellman Academy in Cherry Hill, NJ teaching piano and group flute lessons.

I have also been on the faculty at the Cherubini Academy in Burlington, NJ where I studied piano tuning and performed with one of the masters of the trade, Richard Cherubini Sr.,an accomplished jazz pianist and aural tuner, owner of Center Stage Pianos. She now is a piano technician who services/tunes pianos for private individuals/students, churches, and schools.

My dedication to my students involves weekly lessons, accompanying them in recitals and competitions, and attending all their performances outside of the recitals they hold. I provide my students with as many performance opportunities as possible, including a fundraiser for UNICEF with a performance at the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia, PA.

Even with my busy teaching schedule, I still manage to make time to share my talents performing with others as well, including appearing as featured soloist and accompanist with Sinclair Productions, String Breezes, Dorian Aire, guest soloist with my student at the Kimmel Center and a guest appearance on “Musical Spotlight” program on the radio and performing on harp and flute with the West Chester Harp Ensemble.

I studied and performed with Gloria Galante, professor at West Chester University and founder of their harp program of 20 years.

“I feel extremely honored and thankful to have such a rewarding career and I realize how important my work is as I am always inspiring and motivating my students with music, which helps them in all aspects of their life!”
