Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Cello Viola Mandolin Electric Violin Fiddle Music Keyboard
Teaching for 12 years and playing for 18 years has really inspired me to cater to every age, and the student’s personal goals and their particular culture as there are no limitations to my style. I have experience creating music programs for church ministries, learning centers, music academies and more. My programs offer growth within child development skills as an individual as well as a group setting, helping the student to be more confident at a young age and continue to grow as well for adults, give challenges to the student, fun games for memorization of music and to enjoy the lessons, and most importantly how to share their gift with family and friends while going through performing etiquette training.

Again, it's about you and how far and how great you want to be on the piano. Nothing is more rewarding for me than seeing your dreams come true. So while we learn music theory and finger techniques and skills that will make you into a world-class pianist, I talk to you. Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced students all need the same thing, a teacher that listens and acts accordingly to ensure the very best future outcomes on the instrument. Read More
Instruments: Piano Synthesizer Music Keyboard
For all of my students, I find out what they are interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly. I typically start with the Piano Adventures series and my own compositions. Once my students understand the fundamentals, I begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first performance or competition. All of my students get a complete musical education by learning theory, performance, and music history. It's important that lessons are engaging and paced accordingly to maximize my student's enjoyment and keep their interest for our entire lesson. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I began taking piano lessons under the tutelage of two professors at the age of five. I continued these lessons until I turned 24. At 16 I began to work professionally as a musician. I have always loved music and play most every day. I feel that God gives us all gifts and music is one of them. I would love to have the opportunity to share my gift with others by helping them to create and mold their talent for their enjoyment, and for the enjoyment of others. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Mallet Percussion
I'm a dedicated music teacher who loves motivating my students to be their best. I teach voice, piano, and guitar, as well as beginners on brass instruments and steel drum. I graduated from the University of Alabama in 2010 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music Education and a minor in Spanish. I love music as a way to challenge myself and others, to communicate things that words can't say, and to take us to new and exciting places. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Trumpet Trombone Flute Clarinet Drums Euphonium Keyboard
For beginning students both children and adults, I typically start with Bruce Pearson's Standard of Excellence books. Once my younger students have progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I begin to introduce solo repertoire that is appropriate for their first recital performance. Once the adults have progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I try to find out what the student is interested in and guide my instruction towards that interest, all while keeping the lessons engaging and fun.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes, the teacher I had from the age of 6 through high school graduation inspired me because of her own deep love of music. She often used the word "beauty" to describe it. It took me a while to understand music from that viewpoint, but I eventually (really) got it. I am so grateful now that music is a part of my life and I try to approach teaching with that goal in mind. I tell them how I can listen to a song and know exactly what meter and key signature it is--and how to dance to it! By the same token, I can hold and read a composition and know how it will go. That takes experience, but I show them how Beethoven could continue to write music after he could no longer hear: He already knew what a major 4th interval sounded like, for instance. It was already in his mind.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
This skill has given me confidence, because it was something that I could both enjoy and do well. It also provided a pleasant, engaging escape from some difficulties in the family in which I grew up. When I played for my church, I received a lot of compliments and encouragement from the adults whom I respected. I love that I can sit down and play for myself pieces that I otherwise could only listen to. The focus required engages and sharpens my mind and helps me connect with friends at holiday gatherings. Recently, a 60-year-old friend whose father died when she was 15 mentioned a song he used to play on the piano. I bought the music and played it for her and it pleased her so much.
I am proud that as a child and teenager I could rise to the requirement of memorizing pieces and performing them in recitals. Music engages me, whether it is at church or at the dance studio. I teach students how playing, singing and dancing are all related.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Most of my students are too busy with the variety of activities that Atlanta offers them, so special honors have not been part of their study. However, private lessons have made their participation in school music programs much better than they would otherwise be and I have attended some of those performances. It helps them connect with friends who are also studying piano since they can get together and play. It shows them another level on which they can socialize. Girls, especially, like to sing together.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on the piano is putting both hands together and "hearing" two different melodies and playing them together. It can be done, however, and students are usually amazed when they do it. It is a breakthrough and it is good for them to find that if they try very hard, they can do things they wouldn't otherwise have thought they could do. I even compare to their participation in ice hockey or soccer or basketball, in that you start out simply, follow certain rules, and the skills and performance build.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I like the Alfred and Bastien series for elementary school students, because the songs in the books are there to teach specific principles, but are fun and familiar, too. I have found that for older or adult students, Hal Leonard books are usually the perfect answer for skill-building and enjoyment. Hal Leonard books offer a variety of music that adult students are already familiar with, such as operatic arias or symphonic excerpts, sonatas or popular music from the past and that encourages them.
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, but I have studied piano from the age of 6 into my 30s. I chose to get my degrees in other fields. However, I love music and could not be more grateful for the instruction I received. Learning about music is never ending. There is always a new composition to learn to play and to figure out how it was put together and why, including how a change of key can be artfully worked into it. I point out to my students how the piano can be used to imitate the sound of almost anything, including train horn or a car swerving up to a curb.
