Hello and welcome to Musical Impressions Studio, 

I have been a piano instructor for more than 15 years,  and maintain a studio of 20+ students offering lessons in the Xenia/Beavercreek area to students of all ages and levels. Lessons are tailored to meet the needs of each individual student. My goal is always to give each of my students a solid foundation in technique, theory and music reading, using a variety of musical styles.

Outside of the music world, I enjoy traveling and event planning, specifically, wedding coordinating. I reside in Xenia with my husband, Jeff, and our sons, Josiah & Micah.
