Instruments: Piano Cello Music Keyboard
I believe in meeting students where they are and catering lessons to their specific learning styles. Not everyone learns everything in the exact same way. While I do teach using standard, classical repertoire more often than not, my goal as a teacher is to help my students develop a deep love and passion for music; hence, I often find it incredibly helpful to branch out into other genres! I've taught show tunes, pop, rock, and even video game music to my students. Read More
Instruments: Piano
My teaching style depends very much on what your goal is in deciding to learn to play piano. I can teach you how to play classical piano, piano improvisation, piano accompaniment, or how to play in a certain style with a musical group. Your goal as a student determines the approach we take. That being said, typically, I take a three pronged approach toward teaching: 1. Theory; teach the fundamentals of sight reading and music theory in small increments and apply them by creating custom musical exercises. 2. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Ukulele Recorder Euphonium French Horn Tuba
My teaching experience began when I was in college. I taught trombone and euphonium private lessons for several years in the school district that I attended when I was a student. Additionally, I also have done All State Masterclasses for the TMEA trombone etudes. Encouraging regular practice, building the life-long skill of discipline, and hard work are key skills that I enjoy getting to emphasize to my students, as it has a tendency to build student progression and ultimately gain a passion for learning the instrument.

Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
I teach from 4 years old to adults, novice to advanced levels. My lessons are totally personalized to meet each student's desire, needs and capability. The pace of the lessons should be adjusted for each student. I review and access each student's understanding and progress in each lesson, and design a personalized assignment and lesson plan for the next lesson. Acknowledging accomplishment makes the student confidence and fuel the student's desire to progress. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
In high school I had the great privilege of being selected as the Principal clarinetist in the Minnesota All-State Band. We performed at the summer camp designed for these groups and recreated our performance at Orchestra Hall, home of the Minnesota Orchestra, the following spring. Clarinet is my primary instrument and first love. I also teach saxophone and beginning flute and hope to add other woodwinds in the future. Piano has always been an important influence in my musical performances and I believe it is a gateway to interest in other instruments, so I truly enjoy teaching it! Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Banjo Ukulele Mandolin Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Djembe Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
My teaching style is just like most I think. I don't rush with the students. Always trying to go slow and make sure the students understands everything. I've gotten pretty good at figuring out when the students get what I'm trying to teach. If I feel like I'm going to fast I'll stop think about what I'm doing and slow down. It's easy to talk to fast and rush as a teacher because I've taught so many students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
I recently finished my studies to receive my Bachelor of Music in Music Therapy degree from Sam Houston State University. At SHSU I gained experience working with a variety of clientele including those diagnosed with autism, dementia, traumatic brain injury (TBI), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and spina bifida. I also provided live percussion music with the Creative Movement Program with the dance department at Sam Houston State University. I hope that in the near future I can own my own private studio where I can host music lessons and music therapy sessions. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
This life chose me more than I chose it... I reached a point when I realized that playing music not only gives me a joy that nothing else can, but that sharing the gift of music is also a never-ceasing wellspring of light and happiness. Music truly is the great human connector.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
Trumpet is actually my second instrument to piano, which I've been playing for as long as I could walk to the piano.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
On trumpet, I love playing new music written by contemporary composers, as well as improvising on orchestral excerpts and folk tunes from around the world. And, truth be told, I love a good classical-era piece. Who doesn't love playing the Haydn Trumpet Concerto?
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a PhD in Musicology, which I chose to both play music and explore my interest in theory, history, and culture at the same time.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
For trumpet, it's all about mastering that soft, rounded tone and not sounding "blatty".
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
As a teenage -- and before I took a nine-year non-performing soul-searching sojourn -- a career as a gigging trumpet player developed very naturally for me. After being recruited to play the national anthem at high school sports events, I was soon recruited to play for local and then national conventions, and then to play Taps for VFWs and other events related to the armed service, an eventually weddings. Since I made the decision to return to performing music, similar synchronicities have occurred here in New York City, this time with piano as well: I was recruited to play with a charity organization (Sing for Hope), and am the resident pianist at a hip alternative music space in Brooklyn. Although it's been a while since I won any formal awards with music (although I won many in my teenage year), I'm proud and humbled that the world enjoys what I have to say on both instruments, and look forward to seeing where things take me from here.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Whenever they express interest; it's never too early to start.
When will I start to see results?
When expectations about progress are lost to the joy of the process of learning. That being said, I am an extremely effective teacher and students in all of my subjects excel quickly.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I have been blessed with many wonderful music teachers, particularly my middle school music teacher Ms. Scott. Ms. Scott was passionate about the power of music, knowledgeable about repertoire, exposed us to incredible opportunities, and believed in her students with fervency. I aim to extend the same passion to my students as well.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
For the parts you don't understand yet, slow down as much as you need and explore. Soon it will make sense, and then you can incorporate the skill/passage into your playing effortlessly. Also: have fun! It's OK to not be "perfect" on the first go. In fact, the parts of pieces that don't come as naturally in the beginning are the ones you'll grow to enjoy playing the most with loving attention in a practice session.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Warm up with some long tones, jump into the piece I'm currently practicing, work out the kinks, run it through, then improvise on a tune I've transcribed myself by ear.
