Traditional sight reading, ear training, technique, music theory and the basic fundamentals are essential for developing music abilities. I teach step by step and build slowly so the student learns discipline and also become well balanced in music vocabulary. The students starts off in lesson books with an assignment book to help with consistency with daily practice, as the students mature we can also play the "cool" songs! I teach students the mechanics of music and how to teach themselves so they are proficient in all music levels. Read More

When learning to play an instrument, I believe it is important to start at a slow pace to make sure students comprehend all of the musical elements. To all of my students, I will treat them with kindness and honesty. Honesty is important as a teacher because my goal is to help students find where they can grow and show them ways to do so. For all of my students, I expect them to practice each day and put all of their attention to refining their art. Read More

At an early age, I knew music was what I wanted to do with my life, and how I knew I would be able to touch people. My teaching experience goes back to my second year at my university and I fell in love with teaching after the very first lesson. In a never dull, quick paced setting, that accentuates each individual student's needs, I hope to never leave you bored, yet eager for the next session. Read More

I believe communication is of the upmost importance. I communicate with parents to let them know how the student is doing, what we are working on, and what to do next. As mentioned above, I tailor to my student's needs based on their understanding and pace. Some students move a little slower than others in certain areas, and some move faster. For example, one student of the same age may understand sheet music quickly, but have a hard time with scales. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Organ
In order to succeed at the keyboard, a student's technique must be ahead of their literature. This is why I use a well-developed system of technical exercises that are easy to understand and implement that allows the student to quickly gain mastery of the instrument. These techniques were thoroughly developed and taught by my mentor, Dr. Jill Sprenger, and I have seen students of all types succeed with them. I also use a self-paced program of theory skills and ear-training exercises that complement the wide variety of literature that excites each student. Read More

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session for instrumental lessons with your child typically follows a structured routine to help them develop their skills effectively. Here's a general outline of what a practice session looks like:
1. Warm-up: We usually start with a warm-up exercise to get your child's fingers and muscles ready for playing. This can include finger exercises, scales, or simple melodies to loosen up and improve finger dexterity.
2. Review: We'll spend some time reviewing the material from the previous lesson. This helps reinforce what they've learned and ensures they're building on a solid foundation.
3. New Material: Next, we'll introduce new concepts or techniques. This could involve learning a new piece of music, practicing specific technical exercises, or focusing on particular aspects of playing, such as dynamics, articulation, or timing.
4. Repetition and Technique: Repetition is key to improvement, so we'll work on sections of the music that need extra attention. We'll also focus on specific techniques and skills related to the instrument, like bowing techniques for string instruments or breath control for wind instruments.
5. Interpretation and Musicality: We'll explore the musicality of the piece, discussing elements like phrasing, dynamics, and expression. This helps your child bring their own personality and emotion to the music they're playing.
6. Sight-reading and Ear Training: To develop a well-rounded musician, we'll often include sight-reading exercises and ear training to improve their ability to read and interpret music on their own.
7. Performance Practice: Preparing for performances is an essential part of music education. We'll dedicate some time to practice performing the piece with confidence and precision.
8. Q&A and Feedback: Throughout the session, your child is encouraged to ask questions and seek clarification on any challenges they're facing. I'll provide constructive feedback to help them improve.
9. Goal Setting: We'll discuss short-term and long-term goals for your child's musical development. Setting achievable milestones can motivate them to practice consistently.
10. Cool Down: We'll finish the practice session with some relaxation exercises and a recap of what they've accomplished. This helps reinforce the positive aspects of their practice and sets a positive tone for their next session.
It's important to note that the duration and intensity of practice sessions may vary depending on your child's age, skill level, and individual goals. Regular, focused practice is essential for progress, and I'll work with your child to tailor their practice routine to their specific needs and abilities.
