Personalized lessons in voice, piano, and composition in Concord, Massachusetts, and online.
Lessons
Three disciplines, one thoughtful approach.
Piano
Fun, encouraging beginner piano up through the Faber 3A/3B level — building real technique and a love of playing, with a path that grows as far as you want to take it.
Composition
From first sketches to fully realized works, explore melody, harmony, and form, with an approach welcoming to beginners and advanced writers alike.
What makes our approach unique
We take learners from their very first note to genuinely professional goals, while keeping the atmosphere fun and the love of music front and center at every step. And the disciplines connect: alongside a standard curriculum, teacher and student can compose repertoire the student then performs, bringing their study full circle. This unique philosophy builds toward one thing: a well-rounded musician who hears, plays, and creates, with real musicality and love for their art behind every step of the climb.
