About

I am currently a freshmen at East Carolina University aspiring to achieve a Bachelor's in Music with a concentration in Piano Pedagogy. I hope to spend my professional career enriching the lives of all types of people with one-on-one lessons in piano playing. I believe in the intellectual, emotional, psychological, spiritual, and developmental benefits in playing music, specifically piano. I also hope to develop a skill in people that they can grow old with and enjoy throughout all of their lives.

Goals and interests

Career goal

I wish to teach studio piano full-time, either in a public preparatory school of music or in a self-owned studio.

Graduate school interests

As a freshmen I am currently minimally concerned with the idea of attending graduate school. However, from talking with students here who are further along than I, I am somewhat interesting in the thought of a Master's in Collaborative Piano Performance and at what universities or colleges that might be offered. I believe with that graduate degree I might be better equipped in accompanying musicians with other instruments so that they may have the best opportunity to perform.
