About Valerie
Tracing the ghost of ivory keys against my fingertips reminds me of the rigid discipline I absorbed during my 13 years of study under a Curtis Institute alum. My MMus and MSM degrees provide the bedrock for teaching rhythm, timing, and pedaling, yet I find true clarity in supporting students with ADHD, autism, or dyslexia. Hand independence, jazz improvisation, sight transposition, and accompaniment skills become accessible through adaptive notation.
I integrate music theory, scales, arpeggios, ear training, and chord voicing into a structure that respects your unique cognitive architecture. Czerny sits alongside your favorite songs to keep the process engaging. I look forward to helping you reach your musical destination.

Does the clutter of traditional notation often make the piano feel like a labyrinth rather than an instrument? Many students struggle because standard pacing ignores how their brain processes patterns, so I conduct a diagnostic playing assessment before we set a learning plan.
My 13 years of experience as an MMus holder allow me to deconstruct complex technical hurdles into intuitive segments that suit your specific neurotype. Since my background is rooted in the Curtis lineage, I ensure the 10 minute warm-ups are as rigorous as they are functional. I modify the lesson structure to emphasize visual or auditory cues that play to your natural strengths. How would you like to structure our first 10 minute breakthrough session?
