Instruments: Piano Violin Viola
I began teaching private students in high school, and have been consistently teaching students in my studio for the past five years. Many of my students have gone on to be very successful in youth orchestras, school programs, and music conservatories. During my senior year at university, I had the opportunity to serve as a faculty member for my university's pre-college music program. In this role, I represented the university by providing musical instruction to young upper string students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
Everyone who would pay to have private music lessons is willing to learn from the teacher. I will have different teaching methods when it comes to different students, everyone has their own skill level and from different ages. But there are few things I need to say :I expect students to work with me so we can save more time. I will have students play and listen at the same time. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Trombone Bass Guitar Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
Most schools use the Hal Leonard Essential Elements and I tend to focus on this method as supplemental instruction but other methods are fine as well especially if the student is already working through a particular method book. For young students I encourage a mix of formal music instruction with music the student enjoys. Nothing unlocks a love of learning like discovering how your favorite music works! Adult students are welcome to tailor their lessons to their musical goals whether that's learning Bach or Breaking Benjamin! Read More

I love teaching and I love guitar! I feel so fortunate to offer guitar lessons as my career. Working with guitarists at any level is such an honor, and watching students learn and develop a passion for playing is the greatest reward. I enjoy everything about the work I do. I am dedicated to each student's individual goals and their success is my mission, whether they are taking up guitar as a hobby or professionally. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Organ
As stated, I have taught students of all ages, from pre-K to adults. I first began teaching while I was in college and have taught ever since. While most of my career has been spent teaching privately in fine arts academies and in students' homes, for the past 7 years I have taught high school choir in Keller ISD. I love to see my students succeed and have those "aha!" moments when their individual practice begins to pay off. Read More

I've been teaching music for more than 12 years now. I can honestly say that I enjoy teaching and sharing my knowledge of music. Not everyone can say that they truly enjoy their job so I feel blessed. I have taught hundreds of students ranging from ages 4 to 80! I have taught individuals, groups or online lessons. During the pandemic I was lucky to I keep working because of zoom lessons. I don't know what I would have done without zoom lessons. Read More

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I do prefer essential elements, artist compilation books, theory handouts/worksheets, and sheet music. I tend to stay away from Suzuki methods since I find it too dependent on intervals rather than learning how to read sheet music properly.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I practice every day if I can. I generally recommend a practice be at least 30 minutes. I begin my practices by tuning and warming up which usually consists of working on older material, running through scales, etc. I like to keep practice logs so I check what I noted I've been working on, what I feel I want to keep working on, and I begin designing exercises to help me achieve that goal. I separate my content by focusing on different aspects such as precision, rhythm, speed, volume, and so forth. I close out by playing all the way through what I've been working on a few times and then leave some time at the end for creativity/improvising. See what you can make with what you have learned and then fill out practice log.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I think keeping a practice log/journal of some kind and having moments of mindfulness and reflection during each practice is really important. I believe that what you put in is what you get, so get practicing! We will set realistic goals. Learning a skill like an instrument is a lifelong process. You will always be improving and learning new things if you keep with it.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
No, I am the only one with a musical bone in my family. My family loves music and have always encouraged me but thankfully I had friends growing up that also played instruments and I played in school.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I began with violin but that was through school. I picked up guitar, ukulele, and some piano through private lessons and self-instruction. Once you understand some general music theory and are familiar with an instrument, I find it is easier to start learning others. I'm always learning and improving though!
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I think there is something of musical value in almost anything I listen to. I may not enjoy the style but maybe there was an interesting rhythm or effect. I try to share this mentality with my students and ensure we explore the different ranges music has to offer. I personally most enjoy blues/jazz, soul, and rock.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I teach music part-time. I am currently working to obtain my Massachusetts Teaching License in second language acquisition. I love music but I don't want it to be my main career so that is what I will be doing instead!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
It does require a certain level of maturity and concentration in order to fully grasp the logic of music theory and to apply that to playing an instrument.
When will I start to see results?
Learning music and an instrument is a lifelong process. You will learn things day 1 that you use for as long as you continue to play and practice. You will always be building from a foundation so the only place to go is up!
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Even though I began with violin, I would say guitar is my main instrument. I generally practice and play it more since it is so versatile. Violin is a bit more specialized but fun and interesting nonetheless.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Personally, I have always struggled with sweep picking on guitar. If you're not familiar I'd recommend looking up some videos online. I've always wanted to be able to do them and can somewhat but not to the degree I would like. I would argue that is one of the hardest guitar techniques I've encountered. For violin, a lot of people have issues with shifting.
