Lessons

I offer the following private lessons in Peoria, IL or online for ages 8-adult: 

  • Voice
  • Violin/Fiddle
  • Piano
  • Composition
  • Music Theory and Ear Training
  • Conducting

My partner Brian Davis teaches guitar and piano lessons, with a particular emphasis on folk, rock, and songwriting (great with Swifties!). He is kind, patient, and encouraging. 

I welcome students at all levels of experience. My teaching style is positive but focused, and I have the following goals for my students:

  • To grow in skills, self-confidence, and knowledge
  • To have meaningful one-on-one lesson time focused on their well-being and success
  • To develop patience with their mistakes and the challenges they face
  • To make music that they love
