I offer beginners' classes in piano and harpsichord for any age, and can additionally provide the basics in music theory.
A passionate learner myself, I started harpsichord at age 5 and have recently graduated with a Masters from the Hochschule für Musik Basel in Specialized Performance (Improvisation). My experience teaching started in New York where I taught school students piano and music theory. I am also a professional continuo player accompanying Baroque orchestras on the harpsichord, as well as a composer of experimental music.
My experience in very different musical scenes gives me a unique approach to studying that allows me to adapt the content and structure of lessons according to where the student wants to develop their skills. This can include focus on exercises like scales and arpeggios; studying simple pieces from Classical, Baroque or even Pop repertoire; figured bass; body posture awareness; and trying more experimental things through free improvisation techniques! I've also found that accompanying practice with theory helps to deepen one's understanding and joy at learning this beautiful music.
I really enjoy passing on my enthusiasm for music, whether the student has specific goals and needs or is simply curious to start with the basics. If you're curious don't hesitate to reach out :)

Over
Originally from Durham, North Carolina, I grew up learning harpsichord and classical guitar. I moved to the UK when I was still young, where I passed my ABRSM Grade VIII with "Distinction" in both instruments, before going back to the US for a while as music teaching assistant at a school.
Passionate about learning and passing on what I learn, I've also taught English to students in France for many years and have given workshops in free improvisation, most recently at the Hochschule für Musik Basel.

I offer lessons in Classical music theory at all levels - Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced.
Whether you're struggling with the basics, or want to take what you already know to the next level, I'll adapt our lessons to your needs and guide you through what you need to make it.
Trained in Classical and Early music, and having studied performance in harpsichord, organ, piano, classical and electric guitar, I've also studied chamber music composition and electroacoustic composition. A passionate learner myself, I have recently graduated with a Masters from the Hochschule für Musik Basel in Specialized Performance (Improvisation). These diverse experiences are necessarily integrated into what I teach and how.
In my theory classes we’ll look at the fundamentals of rhythm, pitch, solfège, intervals, key signatures, cadences, and other important groundwork whose rigorous study we can then apply to real-life examples of music, helping you acquire a sharper analytical ear.
I look forward to working out a comprehensive approach to improving your music theory skills, please feel free to get in touch!
