Piano lessons for all ages + abilities in Berkeley, CA
I provide an encouraging, student-centered, and well-rounded musical education that helps students develop a lifelong love of music.
I customize lessons with students’ interests in mind, and we cover many styles from classical to jazz to pop and more.
I take a current, well-rounded approach, balancing the development of the eye (reading music), the ear (playing by listening and improvising), and the mind (creativity and composing) - essential for truly learning to speak the language of music!
As of 2026, I am delighted to have 23 years of teaching experience, and became Nationally Certified Teacher of Music (NCTM) via the Music Teachers National Association (MTNA) in 2017.
Current openings (as of March 2026):
Wednesday afternoons + Thursday afternoons/early evenings
Where:
My home studio in NW Berkeley
Fees:
30 minute lessons: $50/lesson
45 minute lessons: $75/lesson

Lessons are charged by the month, according to how many lessons are in that month.
We typically have 2 (friendly and low-key!) recitals each school year, which all students are encouraged to participate in.
