Private Music Lessons

Learn Piano, Guitar, Voice, Band, Orchestra, and More!

Stop for a second and think about the last time you learned something new. Was it fun? Frustrating? Fulfilling? Whether it’s your child learning piano for the first time or trying out music lessons as an adult, new is always challenging, and that’s a good thing.

Stretching your mind and your talents, private music lessons at White House of Music are an affordable way to learn and grow – whether you are 7, 17 or 77 years old! Whether you are a beginner who just bought a keyboard and want to learn piano, a former high school band member looking to pick up where you left off, or a forever orchestra player wanting to hone your skill, it’s never too late! Private music lessons in piano, guitar, voice, flute, and many other musical instruments are perfect for:

  • Developing children who are first learning to appreciate music
  • The student musician who is advancing in band or orchestra
  • A young adult preparing for college auditions
  • Busy moms looking for a little “me time” during the school day
  • Recent retirees looking for a fulfilling hobby
  • Grandparents who want to connect with their grandkids through music

No matter who you are or where you are at, you too can make Music for Life.

Bio

Hello! I’m a classically trained opera singer but that’s not all I do! I have been teaching voice and beginning piano full time since 2020. I have two performance degrees and want everyone to have a good time. I believe that music is for all. Some people just want to have fun and be challenged, or feel more comfortable in a one on one setting. I work to make sure that my students are comfortable and progressing as musicians at a pace that they are comfortable with. I think that it’s never too late to learn and I continue to look for ways to further my learning as well. Most recently, I took an 8 week course for Gender Affirming Voice Lessons. Before moving to Milwaukee, I worked in Chicago. I am an active performer and I continue to drive back and forth to Chicago for gigs, and have been asked to cover the roll of Jezibaba in Milwaukee Opera Theatre’s “Rusalka” in Feb 2025.

I am a wife and mom of two daughters, as well as a dog and cat mom. I love spending time with family, cooking and eating, reading, art, and horseback riding.
