A note from Riley
Hi there!
Thank you so much for your interest in working with me! I am so blessed to be able to do what I love, and that is all due to my loyal clients, so thank you. I started taking piano and voice lessons at age 7 and have been working on my craft ever since. I knew from a very young age I wanted to pursue a music career, and am so grateful to have parents that fully supported that dream of mine. At age 14, I started leading worship in our church's contemporary service and playing piano for the traditional service. When starting to look for colleges, it was clear I wanted to go to school for music. I had a very clear vision that I wanted to teach private lessons, offering what I struggled to find until I was in high school- someone to teach me how to play piano and sing at the same time. I thoroughly enjoy teaching the full musician- instrument, accompaniment, voice, theory, musicality, and artistic growth. I loved my time at Belmont and am honored to be able to offer the knowledge I gained through its program to my students. When I am not teaching, I love to read, spend time with my parents and little sister at our home on Johns Island, organize my apartment, hang out with my cat and turtle, Miss Cloud and Miss Franklin, or sing in my cover band, As If! (pictured above).
