I started studying piano in the 1990's at Golda Meir School in Milwaukee. I continued my musical studies throughout middle school, high school, and college. At the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire, I graduated with a degree in Music Education and studied piano with Dr. Donald Patterson and Dr. Namji Kim. Since then, I have performed at numerous weddings, written a beginning piano instructional book, and recorded over 30 videos on YouTube. I have also composed and arranged a number of works for piano which can viewed at Sheet Music Plus. I can provide you with professional musical excellence at your wedding or event!
