Meghan
Vocal Teacher, Keyboard + Piano Teacher
Meghan discovered her love for music at the age of five when she realized how much she enjoyed singing. By age 10, she was already performing in her church band, which further deepened her passion for music. Throughout middle school, Meghan participated in both chorus and orchestra, where she played the cello for two years.
In high school, Meghan took a piano class and quickly fell in love with the instrument. She has been self-taught ever since and enjoys continuing to grow her skills. She also took vocal lessons in high school to improve her singing skills. Meghan’s passion for music naturally led her to share what she knows with friends and family, helping them learn the basics of singing and piano. These experiences inspired her to begin teaching more formally.
She has a special love for jazz and musical theater. She enjoys incorporating that energy and expression into her lessons. She is especially passionate about working with children and believes in making the learning process fun, engaging, and encouraging. Her teaching philosophy centers around creating a comfortable and supportive environment where students feel free to express themselves through music.
