I have helped people both young and old learn how to play bass guitar and perform with any band and in any style of music through private instruction. I have been teaching beginning to intermediate piano for the past 2 years and I have the same approach to teaching piano as I do the bass guitar and that is to play the instrument the way it's meant to be played. I have only one requirement as a teacher and that is, you must practice! Read More

I started teaching private lessons a little before I started my bachelor's degree, with people who I knew coming to me requesting to be taught. With time, I became more and more aware of my teaching abilities, musical theory, and the responsibility that it was to take someone under your musical guidance and became more and more passionate about passing on the much or little knowledge that I have gathered along the way.

For young learners, I teach using Nancy and Randal Faber's Piano Adventures. For adults, I use the all-in-one Faber adult book. However, as early as possible, I like to get outside of the book and get a student learning a song they love. When it comes to learning piano (especially in the beginning), fun is a critical ingredient for success. In my lessons, I work with students through a lesson book, on repertoire they are interested outside the lesson book, on technique, music theory, and anything a student is interested in or curious about.

I'm a patient, energetic, understanding, highly-motivated teacher who loves training people to accomplish their musical goals. I teach from the experience of a songwriter and performer, someone who started off as an ear-based, self-taught guitarist and has worked his way up to to a BA in Composition, recorded and released music for three Seattle rock bands, and performs regularly. This diverse background makes me relatiable to students with all different learning styles, interests, and skill sets. Read More

I'm a passionate music educator with considerable experience as a teacher and performer. I graduated from the University of Arkansas in 2005 where I studied music education with an emphasis on trombone. Since graduation, I have been fortunate to have many opportunities to conduct, perform, and teach music. I play a many different instruments and perform many different genres and styles. Whether it be conducting student ensembles, performing in small clubs, or singing with a chorus at Carnegie Hall, many of my best life experiences have been because of music and I want to guide my students toward their own great musical experiences.

Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I always loved piano. My parents both played and when I was three, we got a big old upright and I immediately started playing songs by ear. I also always loved to sing. But I did not start studying voice till college after discontinuing trumpet. I heard the other voice majors practicing art songs and opera arias in different languages, and I wanted to do that. So I changed my major to voice.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My high school band director was a phenomenal musician. I was a trumpet player and the only girl. (I don't play any more, so I don't teach trumpet.) I was always first chair; he never discriminated based on gender. So I developed confidence in my playing.
When will I start to see results?
You will begin to see results immediately, but if you are an adult learner, you might have unrealistic expectations. Keep in mind that adults can reason and analyze better than children and that most adults cover material much faster than children do. So don't get discouraged at first, when your brain is first learning to coordinate your eyes, hands, voice, etc. Give it at least six months and observe how far you have come.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Before a child can read, music lessons should just involve "play" - singing, improvisation, dancing, playing rhythm instruments. Most children are ready to begin reading music around the age of 8, some a little earlier. Always present music lessons as a fun activity, without giving your child a sense pressure. You may need to be physically present and support your child during practice, Always stay positive. Let the child progress at the pace they choose. If your child is begging for lessons, definitely start lessons then.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Schedule regular practice times, but also allow yourself to practice spontaneously. Spend a few minutes relaxing and/or improvising before you begin. Practice in short, regular sessions, and take breaks if doing longer sessions. Throughout your practicing, refresh your posture and stretch. Breathe. Your practice goals will differ depending on where you are in a piece of music. Sometimes you will need to practice small section; don't just run through a piece over and over again or you will 'program in' errors. Let yourself do a runthrough at the end of your sessions if you want; otherwise save run-throughs for after you have mastered technical difficulties. When you get close to a performance, imagine you are playing for an audience. Always encourage yourself. When you make errors, just let it register without being hard on yourself. Then calmly try again. Repetition is your friend if you take time to reflect between repetitions. There is so much more to say about practicing - I need to write a book about it!
