Renée’s piano teaching style is thorough, calm, and challenging. She likes to have fun in class, but she also wants to make sure that everyone understands new and old concepts. Students learn to play their instruments as part of a group, and also how to play classical compositions on the grand staff. As a Wiggleworms teacher, Renée’s classes are sweet and engaging; babies and toddlers explore instruments and props with a global repertoire.
Beyond teaching music, Renée is a teaching and performing hoop dancer. She’s a classically trained mezzo-soprano and pianist with an affinity for stringed instruments. She has performed internationally as a singer and multi-instrumentalist, and also writes original songs and compositions.
