Instruments: Piano Voice
I have been teaching lessons since my undergraduate days and have taught private lessons on and off since then. I've spent time in the elementary music classroom as well as the middle and high school music classrooms. I have teaching experience in the areas of voice, choir, percussion, show choir, guitar, piano, music history, and musical theatre history. I've also spent time directing and choreographing various musicals and choral concerts. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I'm an artist and musician who is eager to teach beginners and intermediate players how to play the piano. I've been playing piano for over 17 years and have a Bachelor of Music degree from Belmont University in commercial piano performance. I'm well-versed in the styles of classical, jazz, rock, country, blues, and new-age/ambient music, and have experience playing in jazz bands, musical pit orchestras, and playing my own solo repertoire.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Flute Ukulele Recorder
I try to get to know my students in the first few lessons so I can be more sensitive to their personalities. This helps me choose the best teaching approach for them. From the very first lesson I create a relaxed setting so students feel no apprehension, especially when trying something new. This allows them to feel free to take chances and experience playing music as something enjoyable, not a life or death situation! Read More

My philosophy for quality music education has three main parts: appreciation, practice, literacy. In no particular order... 1. The first part is exposure/appreciation of different musics, cultures and styles: The loving of music This includes: Active listening skills, genre playlists, history of solo repertoire/composers 2. The second part is the practice/performance of music, instruments, and vocally: The doing of music This includes: Physically clapping rhythms, singing, playing, performing, improvising 3. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I am a very patient, enthusiastic, and encouraging teacher who makes learning music interesting. My goal for students is to help them become well rounded musicians with a love for the art. I encourage my students by setting reachable goals, once one goal is met, we move on to the next. I understand that each student is unique, with individual learning style. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Ukulele
I generally split lessons into three sections, 1/3 with chords, 1/3 scales, 1/3 with songs, but every student is different, for example, If your goal is to strictly learn chords to sing folks songs over, I will emphasize more chord reading and learning time. If you want to play leads, I will spend more time emphasizing scales to help you learn how to improvise. There are also other excercises we can do like rhythm reading (just with clapping, no instrument) transcription/listening, and harmonic analysis. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream piece to perform would probably be Schumann's work called Kinderszenen, which includes 13 pieces Schumann composed all inspired by his childhood in one piece. It has the most beautiful and unique music theory and harmony with so much expression and rubato. I only hope to one day play it as good as some world class pianists
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love trap/pop music. Trap is the go to groove today and it has so many good vibes in it. Trap is so fun to dance to and it is. mainstream.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started to play the trumpet because I thought it was such a cool instrument, and so much different from the piano. I wanted to go outside of my comfort zone, it all trained me so much as a singer and taught me about breathing and circular breathing.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My father is so gifted with music and he plays by ear. He is an insane guitarist and can play pretty much anything. He really inspired my to pursue my musical endeavors
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I decided to become a professional musician the minute I entered a summer intensive program when I was 15 years old. I knew from that moment, that there was nothing else I wanted to do with my life.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I wasn't a musician, I would probably have to say I would want to open up my own bakery. In my free time, I love to bake homemade dessert and love to watch culinary arts
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I really recommend Faber and Alfred to Beginner and Intermediate students. Faber has a very great structure in their materials especially from Primer to Levels 1-4B. It organizes both music theory and music expression in a great and fun way or students. For teenagers and adults looking for advanced material, I highly recommend using Hanon, Bastion, Schirmer's library of Chopin, Beethoven, or any other composers they want to study.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session is asking the student how their week has been, what they would like to warm up with, I typically review any music theory or material we went through the previous week, and move on to new music as they are more comfortable and building up sight reading skills, For little ones, and students in beginner, I incorporate lots of games and activities to make music lessons fun.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I chose a music degree in Songwriting and Composition because it is what I am most passionate about. Ever since 7, I have written my own music and wrote songs as a vocalist and pianist. My classical training has allowed me to have the knowledge to compose creative and inspiring music of multi genres.
