I draw from a wide range of supportive materials and repertoire. I develop each students lesson plans based on their aspirations or goals and each plan is tailored to meet them where they're at in their musical journey.

This includes discussion of techniques and habits the lend themselves to healthy and productive growth for a musician. Read More

There is additional research suggesting that improvisation stimulates the brain in ways that promote resilience, responsiveness, creativity, innovation, my teaching is very important because current research in both education and youth development indicates the strong correlation between music education and the development of strong academic and social/emotional learning outcomes among youth. The results are in: music in general and ensemble training in particular nurture strong social and emotional learning skills, e.g., collaboration, critical thinking, self- discipline, and self-efficacy.

Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
Hi! I've had a love for music since I was very young. I started playing piano at eight years old, violin at eleven years old, guitar at around the age of seventeen, and have been singing ever since I could produce the sound, taking private vocal lessons in high school and college. I am classically trained in piano, violin, and voice, though I now play mostly Christian contemporary/worship, pop, country, and indie/singer-songwriter/folk music on all four of my instruments.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Yes, the Suzuki method is basically the most successful, however, my own personal style of learning by example and listening helps so much. The basic cord books and my own flash cards with recorded sounds seem to help so much when students practices on their own. I have found that there are so many on line visual aides where a student can watch a teacher/musician play and instruct on guitar. However, for some students, especially beginners, nothing compares with one on one instruction. Later in the student's progress, there are also really fun music books written using basic cords. These books allow beginners to play their favorite songs in learnable simple ways.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Well, a normal practice session is based on a student's needs. However, tuning up first is a must. Following this, we would go over what we worked on last to see if any progress has been made. If they have mastered to some extent the last lesson, then we go on to the next step. Constant encouragement is what I give every lesson. Learning to play can be difficult, so I show patience and have fun. The last thing we would do in a practice is to answer any questions the student would have and see what music the student listens to and is trying to play.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I do not have a music degree. I realize that going to college to study music would be a valuable resource. However, in my many years of playing and performing, I never had a teacher who had a degree and I never played in a band with anyone who had a music degree. I do not in any way mean to belittle higher learning. I have been to college and I have a degree that I am very proud of. My years of experience in teaching and playing my instrument have and will always speak for themselves when it comes to my students and my accomplishments.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream piece to perform has changed as I have grown older. When I started, I wanted to be in a big rock band and play heavy metal music. I still like to play for an audience, but I prefer blues, bluegrass, and slide guitar in front of small audiences. However playing for my grandkids is so fun and gives me so much satisfaction. My how we change as performers and musicians with age.
