Locations

In the Studio

In the Round Rock ISD Schools

Lessons take place in my home studio located in Northwest Austin, TX. I also offer lessons online via Zoom or FaceTime but in-person lessons are preferred when possible.

Ages

Most of my students are age 7-adult although I would be pleased to interview and discuss lessons for a child age 5-6. Contact me for a recommendation for one of my amazing colleagues who teaches children age 3+ using the Suzuki Method.

As part of the Round Rock Individual Music Instruction Program, I teach some students during their orchestra class period. I currently offer lessons at Canyon Vista Middle School, Grisham Middle School, Westwood High School, Round Rock High School and Walsh Middle School. My availability changes every year however and sometimes I can add other schools. Please contact me if you are interested in this option or talk to your director about the possibility of working with me or one of my excellent colleagues.
