Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I like working with students in a way where our love of music is the center of our attention, as such musicality is always the goal. For beginner students who’d like to sight-read, I like to start with the Alfred Modern Guitar Method 1 and supplement that with the Mel Bay Modern Guitar Method, Grade 1, or Frederick Noad’s Solo Guitar 1 if we’re learning classical guitar. Alternatively, if the student wishes to take a route in which he/she does not sight-read musical notation, I like to start with basic picking technique, proper guitar positioning, reading tabs and chord diagrams.

I feel all students have the ability to actualize their creativity through the of study of a musical instrument. My students are given small musical challenges each lesson which will enhance their sense of accomplishment. Lessons are assigned to the student's current level. The lesson material will be internalized after repeated repetitions. To understand and perform a simple lessons leads to a profound knowledge of an aspect of music. I encourage my students to fully experience the joy of a lifetime of making music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Mandolin Recorder Electric Violin Fiddle
I have other very child-friendly books for young beginners and use Fiddle Magic and String Rhythms bySally O'Reilly as fun ways to reinforce rhythm and technique. I introduce solos from a variety of sources progressively that complement what is being learned. I try to integrate scales, etudes, and solos for maximum understanding and match the assignments to specific interests and technical needs. I foster and encourage participation in chamber music, group recitals, and school and youth orchestras. Read More

I believe anyone has the ability to learn music. I feel it is my duty to help my students discover their own musical path. It is my passion to show you, you have the ability to overcome any obstacles you may face in music. On May 1st I graduated from Weber State University with my Bachelors in K-12 Music Education. I got the chance to be instructed by great minds like Viktor Uzur (known worldwide for the Richter/Uzur Duo) and work along side talented students like Fan Ya Lin (pianist with a professorship at Julliard).

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!
