2011- PRESENT
I have been studying with Karen Merchant, a private piano and vocal instructor for roughly 11 years. Our time together has consisted of intensive weekly piano instruction and annual recital performances. Over time, I have built an incredible relationship with Karen, and I have her to thank for my passion in music today.

2018- PRESENT
After many years of studying music, I was encouraged by family and friends to pick up vocal lessons to help expand my musical palette. My piano instructor also happens to be a professional voice coach.
In 2018, I began vocal lessons with Karen Merchant each week, which also includes recital performances each summer.
