  Learning to Play,  

  Playing to Learn  

Welcome to my website!  I started taking piano lessons at the age of six and organ lessons at fourteen from excellent teachers who taught me the joy of learning music.  I earned an advanced diploma for having completed classical piano and theory studies in the Sherwood Piano Course from Sherwood Music School in Chicago, Illinois.

 

I have played the piano and organ at restaurants and function halls for events such as wedding receptions, class reunions, and Christmas parties.  I have been the church organist and choir director for various denominations.

 

Teaching piano and organ lessons for more than fifty years has been a fulfilling and pleasurable experience.  I have enjoyed teaching students from five to eighty-five, from beginning to advanced level, to share with them the gratification of learning the language of music so that they can play songs for themselves and family members.

 

I have taught piano, keyboard, and organ lessons in students’ homes in Portland, Falmouth, South Portland, and Cape Elizabeth for them to have the convenience of a teacher come to their homes. 

 

Due to the current pandemic, I have suspended in-home teaching and am teaching all students virtually only from my studio very successfully, using the latest advanced HD video and audio technology.
