Preparing for an admission exam into a piano degree or master's program? This is your moment to prove everything you've built --- and it demands strategy, insight and someone who understands exactly what the jury listens for. In our lessons, we'll focus on what truly makes you stand out. I have guided students through both undergraduate and master's admissions by identifying technical habits that hold them back, mapping the gap between their current level and what the program demands and adjusting lesson frequency based on the time left before the audition. Get in touch and discover how focused preparation can turn your hard work into your acceptance letter.
