Shameless Music Lessons are for anyone who'd like to learn from me, but I'm especially well-suited to students of any age and skill level who are...

Meet Gina

I've been teaching music lessons to students of all ages for 6 years, and I've been making music in one way or another for the last 34 years, as a professional singer & pianist. Although my early music lesson experiences proved to be hurtful (hence the "shameless"), through my own efforts and with the help of a wonderful musical mentor, over the years I healed my relationship with music. I would love to now be that mentor for others, helping to avoid or rehabilitate any pain that lessons may have caused, and to help people discover their authentic musical selves. My other interests include aerials, singing while upside down, theater, carpentry, painting, writing, cooking, and dreaming/scheming.

Students & Parents Say...

"Gina is an excellent voice teacher! I am completely new to singing and she is very patient with me. She wants me to have fun, learn vocal techniques, and sing exactly what I find fun to sing. She is great at giving me concrete ways to improve. I would definitely recommend her for vocal lessons."

- Bailey K.

"We have had a terrific experience with Gina! She tailors each lesson according to our son's musical ambitions. He secured the lead in his middle school play, and she has been working on piano and vocal lessons to further enhance his skills. I would highly recommend Gina to anyone looking for a piano teacher!"

- John L.

"Gina has been teaching me piano and voice for the past 3 years. I look forward to our lessons all week long. As an adult student who just wants to play popular music and doesn't read music well, I didn't think I'd be able to find a teacher as accommodating as Gina. She is patient and lets me drive our music selections. The most fun part is seeing myself progress week after week under her instruction. I can play songs I never thought possible now. She is extremely dedicated to her students' success. Honestly I can't recommend her more highly."

- Rosamond H.

"Gina is the first teacher who has advanced my son's ability to read music and play full pieces on the piano. He now sits down to practice without being asked and looks forward to lessons. Gina brings energy, creativity and an approachability to her lessons, meeting the child where he is and advancing skills and love for the instrument. My son looks forward to his weekly lessons and is gaining confidence and self esteem as a result of the progress he is making under Gina's mentorship and teaching."
