Experience/Training: I have been playing piano since I was old enough to sit on the bench. I started playing by ear as young as 3 years old and began taking lessons when I was 5. I started composing when I was 9 and began performing in middle school. I have played for ceremonies, festivals, and weddings. I have recently taken an interest in covering metal music on the piano, playing by ear. 

Why I Teach Music: As a former elementary teacher, I see the value in music education. Music promotes language development and math skills, facilitates creativity and lifelong learning. Music plays a crucial role in all stages and aspects in life.
