Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums
More than anything music should be fun. The greatest musicians are the ones who enjoy playing music even when they're just practicing. I like to teach in a way that involves asking the student questions in order to get them to figure out the answer for themself, rather than just lecturing the whole time while they start daydreaming! This way the student is more involved in the learning process and it can make their time spent learning an instrument more worth it. Read More

I've been teaching since I began high school when I started giving private lessons to my fellow orchestra members. Ever since I have constantly taught from my home and through various music studios. I emphasize not only regular technical practice but also the practice of independence in a student and bringing forward their original voice. I love to see students of any age develop as artists and grow a love for music as I have. Read More

I am a pianist, composer, and pre-service Music Educator from Flint, MI. I have played piano and trumpet for 11 years, and am currently in my senior year of getting my BME from The University of Michigan-Flint. Piano, composition, and teaching are my passions, and I have performed extensively throughout the mid-Michigan area, including on the Whiting stage, as a live musician for Michigan Radio's Stateside, as well as conducting several of my own compositions with various ensembles at the Flint School of Performing Arts.

Instruments: Piano Voice
My favorite moments while teaching is the light bulb moments, for these to occure lessons are goal based and created around the students level of exsperiece, future goals, and personal goals. In the first lesson we set mini goals for each lesson, medium goals for the month, and large goals for something we want to work towards or a up and coming competition. I use a positive environment to help student feel good about their accomplishments, but also have them discover areas of improvement by recording them or asking them what they feel they did well and what they feel they need to work on.

My teaching style is laid back with the full intention of moving forward in both technique and enjoyment. Each Lesson is geared toward the Goals we agree on as Student and Teacher. Depending on age and experience, I set goals at 3 months or 6 months. It is crucial to allow the student to learn at his or her own rate. Again, I strive to find the Creativity in the Student and to see how that can be developed as quickly as possible, especially if they are interested in songwriting, singing, composition, or simply doing their "own thing".

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Euphonium French Horn Tuba Music
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The most challenging part of becoming a great musician is to tell a story through the music you create while playing. I encourage my students to create a narrative which they want to express when playing music.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
For most of my brass students, except for French Horn, I use the Rubank Method to start, then the Kopprasch 60 selected Studies which is a great method for technical and musical mastery. For my Horn Students I start with the Pottag-Hovey method and then the Kopprasch--this was the method my teacher used when I was a teenager starting out on the Horn. For my Piano students I start with the Music Tree which is a visual based method and starts with the black keys, and they are easily recognizable on the keyboard. Soon after starting--depending on the age of the student--I use in parallel the Dozen a Day series. I use a lot of my own exercises and routines with my students which I often tweak for the needs of each individual student. I also have all of my students work on performance pieces which they can use for Festival and my annual recital where each students perform a solo and also in an ensemble piece which usually arrange for the group so that each student has a part which challenging, but within their reach at their current level. All of my students play scales and arpeggios and usually can play all major and minor scales within about 2 years. Playing scales is how one "learns" their instrument!
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
For Piano students warm ups start with scales and arpeggios--once a student get to that level. this can be 2-10 minutes depending on the level of the student. Then work on any new scales and/or arpeggios and then any routines I have given them 3-7 minutes. This is followed by practicing the exercises from whatever method they are using, followed by the performance piece they are working on. I encourage students to practice every day. If they are short on time a short warm-up 2-5 minutes is much better than no playing at all. At least 3 day a week students should practice for 20-40 minutes.
For brass students Students should always buzz the mouthpiece for 20 - 60 seconds--or more. In the first 30 seconds of playing they should reach to both the top and bottom of their range with either scales or arpeggios. this is followed some mastered scales and arpeggios. The warm-up should be 5-10 minutes total. The rest is the same as the piano students.
