I have over 55 piano students in beginner to high intermediate levels. I am classically trained and an experienced teacher, having taught piano lessons full time since 2005, first at Brindley's Music Center for 10 years and currently teach at the new San Marcos Music Academy in Chandler. Before teaching full time, I taught part-time for over 20 years. I hold two piano recitals per year at My First Piano in Mesa. I teach traditional note reading methods, exposing students to classical standards, jazz and blues, gospel & spiritual, favorites, popular, folk music, TV and movie themed music etc. I am very patient and a gentle in my teaching manner, but maintain a standard of high commitment with my students where they know they must practice daily in order to learn and to advance. I also reward my students for each 100 hours of practice as well as memorized pieces that I record weekly. Most of my students stay with me beyond 5 years and several of my students have committed in applying for music scholarships for college. I am also a substitute organist for my church and occasionally play piano solos during the year for church services.

I have been practicing music therapy, performance, and/or teaching professionally since 2008.  My private lessons studio, JJO Music, has been in business since October 2010.  We have had several recitals at My First Piano since I discovered them in 2011. I am a young, fun, and energetic teacher who can help people of all ages develop the skills they need and get excited about playing and singing music they love. Currently, I am providing virtual lessons over Zoom, and I can see students in my studio in person at Strum University in North Phoenix. I do not drive to students' homes currently because of safety during the pandemic. It is my hope that this website will help students find me, and help me get more integrated in the music education community.  I look forward to making music with you!

I earned my Bachelor's degree in Piano Performance in 2005, and I teach ages 5 to adult, beginners to advanced. During lessons, we work together on note-reading, rhythm, dynamics, expression, and all the other fun little details that make music so enjoyable. Music theory—how music is written and structured—is also an important part of each lesson. Every student is different, and I tailor books and teaching methods according to the student's needs. Lessons are given weekly, and are $30 per half hour, with 45 minute and 60 minute lessons available for advanced students. I also offer sibling discounts—please contact for details! Students are responsible for the cost of books. Please feel free to email, text, or call for more information/availability.
