Instruments: Piano
My teaching experience dates back to my high school days, as I began teaching private lessons. I have been consistently teaching piano students in my home studio for the last 5 years. I use practice incentives to encourage regular practice as it helps students progress. My studio hosts a yearly recital where students can showcase their talent for family and friends. I incorporate music theory and history into each leason as well as composition. Read More

I started playing guitar at age 8. In my formative years I studied with various instructors around central Indianapolis until mid year of '85. Upon this time I studied a full year with James Lee Thorpe whom eventually played, toured recorded with Sweet F.A. They released albums with MCA Chrysalis Records. I began composing my own riffs, melodies and solo work at age 15 also. I studied Music Theory my Junior year at Ben Davis High School. Read More

As a teacher, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing a student develop a passion for music. If my students do not leave every lesson feeling inspired, encouraged, and wanting to practice and play music, then I am not doing my job. Just as I tailor each lesson to match the individual student, expect the student to grow and develop as a musician at his/her own pace. Ultimately, music is universally accessible and I want to foster a love and appreciation for listening to music as well as performing music. Read More

In my time as an instructor, I have not used any particular method book in my lessons. I will buy a notebook for each student where all important information from the lesson will be recorded. I write charts and exercises myself using tablature or standard notion depending on the student. As music being such a cumulative concept, I like to not only focus on pedagogy, but music theory and aural skills as well. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Flute Organ
There are several different method books that I like to use with my students based on age, knowledge/experience, and of course if the method book they use is something they will enjoy; it's very difficult if a student doesn't like the book they're using so I try to give them options. For beginners, I like to use John Thompson's Easiest Piano Course or the Schuam method books. For additional practice and work, I like to use Schaum's Fingerpower and have the student write out the notes then recite them aloud while playing the exercise. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet
Every lesson I give is different, depending on how the student learns and how they’re motivated. My teaching style is energetic and positive, yet with realistically high standards. I truthfully love giving lessons, and students sense this. Positive feedback is always given before negative. I help students set specific, attainable goals so they can progress at their own pace. Also, I find out what other interests/hobbies the student has so I can make interdisciplinary musical connections. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I decided I was going to become a professional musican shortly after graduating high school. Singing is something I feel strongest at, and something I truly love. There hasn't necessarily been a defining moment for me, yet, but I know that I have the capabilities to become a professional musician, whether that is in opera or as a singer/songwriter, which I love as much as opera.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes, music does run in my family! My mom was practicing voice in college for a bit, and sang all through her childhood, but decided against it. She still has a lovely voice! My sister is a great singer, as well, but decided to pursue something different. My dad and brother can sing as well. I have some family members who are professional musicians. My second cousin is a famous jazz composer, and I know that my grandpa used to be in a band! I have a lot of music-loving people in my family!
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I have a lot of interests outside of music as well! I love writing, theatre, dancing, and working with kids. I think teaching primary education, choreographing dances, or acting would be what I would be doing if I wasn't a musician.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite style of music to sing is either musical theatre or opera. I love musical theatre because of the acting display and the deep emotions that go into the music. I love opera because that is where my voice seems to flourish the most, and there are a lot of beautiful arias out there!
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My music degree is in Vocal Performance. I chose that degree because I would love to become a performer at some point in my life. I love singing in any style classically, as well as musical theatre styles and even rock and roll. I thought this degree would give me a breadth of knowledge I can use. It helps me lay the healthy foundation for any style of singing, similar to how ballet is the foundation for any style of dance. So, if I end up becoming a rock singer, I will know the healthy way to do it.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream piece to perform is probably the role of Rosina in The Barber of Seville. I sang an aria from the opera in my senior recital, called "Una voce poco fa" and I absolutely love it. To actually get to sing her role professionally would be a dream come true!
