Instruments: Piano Voice Music
I am a determined and driven teacher who loves to share my passion for music with my students. I graduated this spring from Oklahoma City University with my Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance. My music career has given me the opportunity to sing in many different styles including Opera, Jazz, Music Theatre, Pop, Rock, Country, and more. I have had the opportunity to travel across the US performing in many voice competitions, as well as winning a national award for my performances. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I am warm and vulnerable, I find being open is the best way to develop my students' trust. Trust is key. It is important to me that students progress at their own pace however slow or fast that may be. I help set goals for development that are challenging but realistic. We will celebrate achieving those goals together. Nothing inspires me more than seeing the light go on inside a student as they grasp a challenging concept. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
My teaching style specifically fits each individual students needs. Every student has different challenges that they face during their musical education. I also know that each student works at his or her own pace. I like to give praise and rewards to my students that work hard to accomplish a goal to help instill confidence and desire to continue along their creative journey. Read More
Instruments: Piano Cello
I base my teaching out of the Schroeder Violoncello Methods for all ages along with the Schroeder 170 cello studes. Along with that I pick pieces that the student will find enjoyable as a means to keep them encouraged. Usually I introduce traditional classical repertoire at the beginning of their second year as the student is usually more comfortable with the instrument at that point. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet
Seems I've always been a teacher, even when I didn't realize it; from my school days as first chair helping other students, through college where I taught for the Southern Nevada School of Music and at Vesleys Music Conservatory, through the time I received my first certified public school teaching position and after that as a business owner with employees, I have been teaching and learning. Currently I teach Instrumental, Vocal music and Speech/Drama in Oklahoma as a certified classroom teacher. Read More
Instruments: Drums Music
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Playing the drums is a lot like tapping your head and rubbing your belly at the same time. Most people can't do it at first but if you practice it you can master it.
Playing drums requires control and independence of movement, and only practice can get you there, however, practice is not about playing what you're good at. In fact, effective practice means practicing what needs work. If you practice and find that everything you're you play sounds perfect, then you are not practicing at all. Challenge yourself daily and understand that practice is the time you spend learning the lessons your instructor teaches you, including new concepts, methods, and new techniques, which means you may struggle at first. The sound may not be great but that's your brain and body working together to "figure out this puzzle".
I always tell my students to "practice slowly". Just like tapping your head and rubbing your belly, practicing slowly gives your brain a chance to process everything you're body is doing. It helps to make the necessary mind/body connections to build muscle memory. Once you build that memory, the next challenge is a bit easier to handle.
Take a break during your practice time. You'll find when you come back after 5-10-15 minutes that you will execute the lesson with far more precision than before.
CREATE A SPACE
It's important to create an area in your home that you dedicate as your practice space. Hold it sacred. Keep your sticks, books, and practice pad (or drum set) set up and ready to go on a moment's notice. Practice everyday. If you don't have the time or energy one day, that's ok. We all have those moments. But DO pick up the sticks for 5-minutes, hold them in your hands and, if so inclined, practice one short exercise.
STAY CONNECTED TO YOUR INSTRUMENT
Stay connected to your instrument. Avoid distractions during practice sessions. Turn off your phone/TV. Close the door behind you and dedicate a minimum of 30-minutes a day, everyday. Practice makes perfect.
Also, it's important to have fun. Don't stress over practicing. Keep a positive attitude, and know that you are getting better everyday. Sometimes progress will be quick while others a bit slower. You may master one technique in a matter of days, weeks, or months, while other techniques require a lifetime of practice.
They say it takes 10,000 hours be an expert at something. There's no time like the present. Start now!
