In my studio, students learn more than notes. They grow in: – Confidence – Musicality – Listening – Worship awareness Whether they play in church or not, they’ll be shaped for life. #musiclessons #organteacher #pianoteacher

Why I Teach Organ I teach the organ not just to preserve a tradition, but because nothing forms musical, emotional, and liturgical sensitivity quite like it. The organ isn’t obsolete. It’s timeless—if we treat it with care. #organist #organlessons #churchmusician

What Is a Cantor, Anyway? A Cantor is more than a singer. We’re theologians of sound—shaping the faith through music, memory, and voice. I serve as a Lutheran Cantor: planning worship, training choirs, writing liturgies, and more. #churchmusic #ELCA #lutheranmusician

Too often, church music is either sentimental or sterile. But sacred music should be honest, holy, and alive. Not entertainment. Not performance. An offering—crafted with care. #sacredmusic #liturgy #cantorlife

I believe in musical excellence—rooted not in perfection, but in care. When we give our best, it becomes an offering, not a performance. That’s the spirit I try to cultivate in my choirs and classrooms. #churchmusic #sacredmusic
