Acerca de mí

Hello! It's wonderful to meet you! I'm Lindsey, and I am currently a third-year Music Education student at the University of South Florida. I just earned my Associate in Arts degree, and am now working towards my Bachelor's. I currently work at a local Presbyterian church as their Worship Leader every week. Alongside that, I teach voice lessons privately.
I have been performing professionally in Theatre productions around the area for a couple of years while in school. I just finished a production of The Play That Goes Wrong where I played Annie, and my new upcoming project is USF's Fall Musical, Alice by Heart, where I play Young Alice/Ensemble/U/S Tabitha/Cheshire Cat and Red Cross Nurse/Queen of Hearts.
I love welcoming and coaching students in music, voice, musical theatre, auditions, and everything related to the performing arts! I believe that the exposure of music is vital to a person's development, as it has many benefits including but not limited to: communication skills, self-confidence, reading and text comprehension, dedication, time-management, and more.
I would love the opportunity to teach your student, and encourage them to be the best that they can be!
Thank you so much!

I teach for all levels, from children starting from zero to students who want to prepare certifications at the Conservatories, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age.

I firmly believe in the importance of knowing how to read music and this is exactly what I teach first, obviously adapting the method to the age of my students: knowing how to read music is knowing one more language, which, if learned well, won’t ever be forgotten (like riding a bicycle!) and it is an invaluable wealth. Starting from that point I teach the position of the hand, the arm and the whole body at the piano, the fundamentals of the piano technique (giving great importance to the percussive movement of the finger and the distribution of weight), the understanding of musical language, the expression of the personality through the keyboard, the search for touch and knowledge of piano repertoire.

Hello! I've been teaching continuously for over 10 years, and I'd like to explain what you can expect from a class with me.

Personalized approach: The most important thing is to know what you want to achieve. I will tailor the lessons to your needs: playing for pleasure at home is not the same as preparing for entrance exams (although always with the same rigor). Your goals will influence the methodology, the organization of your studies, the repertoire, and so on.

Relaxed (but rigorous) environment: Once you've defined your goals, classes will be dynamic and pressure-free. Note! "Relaxed" doesn't mean undemanding; we'll just avoid military methods—especially given my personality and sense of humor.

Music, not just notes: My methods are very dynamic, with a special emphasis on hearing and musicality. No "read, play, and turn the page." I avoid approaches obsessed with reading sheet music without memorizing, listening, or understanding what is being played. I want you to own your performance and make artistic decisions. Warning! I might even make you sing.

No stylistic barriers: Thanks to my training in Jazz and Modern Music, I give equal importance to all genres. Adapting to your tastes, we'll go from baroque to blues, from Haydn to bebop... or even Michael Jackson. Why not?

If you identify with this approach, contact me! Learning the cello is a pleasure, and I'd love to share it with you!

Jazz piano is more than learning songs — it’s learning a musical language that gives you the freedom to express yourself, create, improvise, and truly understand how music works.

In these lessons, students don’t just learn what to play. They learn how music functions, why chords move the way they do, and how to confidently create their own sound at the piano.

Whether you are brand new to jazz or looking to deepen your musicianship, these lessons meet you where you are and guide you into a rich, creative, and empowering musical experience.

Students learn the foundations of jazz harmony, how to read and interpret lead sheets, and how to build confident improvisation using scales, modes, and melodic ideas. They develop strong left-hand voicing and comping skills, learn to play jazz standards with musicality, and strengthen their ear so they can play without relying on sheet music. Along the way, they explore how jazz connects to gospel, blues, and contemporary styles, gaining tools to reharmonize songs and create their own arrangements.

In lessons, students experience a supportive, personalized environment that encourages creativity and confidence at the piano. They begin to feel ownership of the instrument, discovering the joy of musical freedom rather than simply reading notes. With guidance from a professional jazz pianist and educator, they build skills they can use in performances, church, school, or personal playing while developing a deeper understanding of how music truly works

This is not a course for musicians.
It’s a course for real people.

For those who always said:
“One day I’m going to learn guitar.”
For those who tried on their own and got frustrated.
For those who think it’s too late.

is a simple and practical method to learn how to play real songs from scratch, step by step, without pressure and without unnecessary theory.

Here, you’ll discover that you can do it.
That it’s not about talent — it’s about having the right method.

And that playing music is much simpler than it seems when someone guides you the right way.
