hello! i am a person deeply interested in music (mainly in the form of jazz, music production (many genres). i play some music professionally, but mostly teach beginner piano. i love working with beginners because there is more magic to be felt there than when somebody is serious to the point they are trying to get into a college, achieve a certain gig, etc.

i like the idea of becoming a more well rounded person, and learning a bit of each broad subject everday to keep my brain playing. it also helps to humble me as i am at a very elementary level with certain topics like mathematics.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i feel myself becoming close-minded but am open minded enough to catch myself! i have to admit i have not been the most social person in the past year. it was a difficult one transitioning out of the university. the emotionally open world of ann arbor broke my heart when i had to leave to the slightly colder city of detroit.
i have come to couch surfing to hopefully break some shyness i have picked up from the past year.

What I Can Share with Hosts

music technique lessons

i am a multi instrumentalist of sorts! i pick up playing instruments very quickly. my music lessons heavily stress learning technique by finding little addictive games to play.
