Instruments: Piano Voice Synthesizer
During my undergraduate time I was apart of those vocal ensembles and worked closely with professors and students to write, arrange and perform full length vocal compositions. Soon after graduation, I was a full-time musician giving freelance voice lessons, and also teaching jazz voice while an artist in residency at Duke Ellington. During my time at Duke, I continued to perform and record around Washington, DC. This is where I began to be recognized for my talent, and was approached by an independent label who would soon thereafter move me to Atlanta, Ga to pursue my goal of being a full-time artist.

Instruments: Piano Violin Cello Viola Flute Ukulele Electric Violin Fiddle Double Bass Music Keyboard
I had a wonderful opportunity to perform live in Carnegie Hall, New York City, on live television, primetime on ABC, CBS, and NBC networks at age 15! Performing internationally with touring groups as a teen and as an adult has brought me many joys, meeting great musicians, making beautiful music, and wonderful memories. In the past I have taught public school orchestra, band, and choir, in elementary, middle, and high school. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Bass Guitar
My teaching experience began in spring 2008 at a local church where taught piano drums classes as a music instructor to students ranging from ages 5-18. Throughout college I was a piano and voice instructor at the Boys and Girls Club Music Clubhouse in Boston MA where I continued teach students ranging from ages 10-18.For the past three years I have continued to provide private instruction and tutoring for students of all ages.I find that my students have a much more pleasurable learning experience, when they are able to apply what they learn in ways that are meaningful to their desire and aspirations.I've always encouraged my students to uphold a positive work ethic and mindset when embarking on their musical journey.

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Euphonium French Horn Tuba English Horn Keyboard
My teaching experience dates back to my high School days,as I began teaching my peers lessons part time 13 years ago,and have been consistently teaching students at my home studio for the last 8 years. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of my key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the students progress and gain a passion for the instrument.

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Euphonium Tuba
My experience of teaching music started as I recieved the opportunity to be a student teacher at an elementary school in Montgomery, Alabama. I used this time to help students become interested in learning about music through; presenting various instruments for the class to observe and using creative teaching methods that include music for an easier comprehension tool with their school work. I am also able to relate to students that are older and those who are adults. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Bass Guitar Synthesizer Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
It brings me joy to see one of my students become passionate about music. It is something that can be taught under the right circumstances. With that knowledge, I recognize the importance of guiding progress to his or her own pace. I always set goals and aim to teach something new every lesson. Setting short term goals shows real accomplishments that help fuel students motivation to stay dedicated. As I said before, I am a student as well and I learn a lot by teaching. Read More
Instruments: Piano Organ Synthesizer Recorder
I put a lot of energy into my teaching! Providing positive feedback and encouragement is most important. Also, giving students practical ways to improve their playing and meet their perfomance goals is crucial. One of the great benefits for a young person learning a musical instrument in the experience of challening and overcoming their percieved limitations. I feel it is my job to guide my students on this adventure. Because of my many years of experience teaching PK-6 general music, I am able to adapt my style to every age group & ability level.

Instruments: Piano
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.
