In 1995, I co-founded a private music studio, Eighty-Eight Keys, where I have taught for 29 years. For the last six years, it has been my joy to teach at the college level of two faith-based institutions in Virginia and West Virginia while maintaining Eighty-Eight Keys for select students. I remain committed to building an individualized plan for success for all my students as they pursue their musical goals.Although I am devoted to music education, I enjoy working with other musicians as a collaborative pianist. While residing in Illinois, I was the collaborative pianist for the Stockton High School choir, Elizabeth High School choir, and many soloists and ensembles for regional and national events. I was also active in my local church and community, collaborating with my husband, Jeremy, a talented performer, composer, and educator. I continue to sharpen my skills as a performer and educator as an active member of The College Music Society, which promotes music teaching and learning, musical creativity and expression, research, and dialogue for the college educator.
