About
My mission is to create a safe and inclusive environment at the piano through music, where individuals can learn, create, and envision a brighter future. Music has the power to unite communities, inspire positive change, and bridge divides across nations.
As an active classically trained pianist with a master’s degree in piano performance and a bachelor's degree in piano, my approach is tailored to each student, emphasizing healthy practice habits and a love for music.
Students have the opportunity to participate in recitals, festivals, and studio events, with lessons covering technique, theory, sight-reading, ear training, and a diverse repertoire.
​
I am particularly dedicated on helping students from competitive backgrounds rediscover their love for music, emphasizing creativity, technique, and growth. I also strive to create an environment where students feel challenged and inspired. While mastering the piano requires dedication, students grow into confident and capable musicians.

She has a unique ability to make long and complex pieces feel manageable, giving me the confidence to tackle challenging music.

"I've had the pleasure of knowing Christina for a several years now and she is by far the kindest, most patient, and overall greatest piano teacher I've ever had. Not only is she incredibly skilled herself, but she also takes the time to sit down and teach you each scale properly, one by one, and she allows you to choose the types of songs and music you'd like to learn! To this day, I still remember everything Christina has taught me. Thank you for being a wonderful teacher!"
