Growing up, I remember the EXCITEMENT of finally mastering a difficult piece (and then playing it over and over again!), improvising for the very first time, and performing duets with other pianists!
Playing the piano is often where I feel God's pleasure, and I'm so thankful for the opportunity He's given me to share my love of music with my students, with the goal that they will also experience the joy of making music throughout their lives! ~Julia

I love music, and I love working with children. It is truly a privilege to be able to combine these two passions into my career as a music teacher.
I have a B.A. in Music from Thomas Edison State University. I am also a member of MTNA and CAPMT.
Outside of music, I also enjoy reading, serving in my church, history, traveling, learning about other cultures (especially the food!), volleyball, and spending time in the beautiful outdoors.

As a teacher, I believe that I am responsible for developing each student's music potential to the best of my ability. Whether or not my students pursue music professionally, my desire is that they will have all the tools they need to continue to be successful musicians even after they have discontinued lessons.
Overall, I hope my students will develop a commitment to excellence in music and a life-long love for music. I strongly believe this is only possible through the dedication of the student, his parents, and the teacher.

Kids enjoy music, but despite the best of intentions, they can often view piano lessons as "just more homework" or another task "to check off their list."
At Pianoforte Studio, my mission is to inspire students with creative, fun, and innovative learning during the lesson, while not compromising on the quality of instruction.
