Credentials/Background

I teach piano and woodwind lessons to beginners and beyond in the Fox Cities Area of Wisconsin (Neenah, Appleton, etc). I have a degree in music education from the University of WI-Oshkosh and a current, valid WI teaching license in Instrumental Music. For voice lessons I teach beginners-intermediate and can also do coaching for students interested specifically in Jazz and Blues. If you need someone to help you with charts/lead sheets, I can help! I will work with you to find the right keys and help you arrange the chart so that musicians will love playing with you!
