Instruments: Piano Voice
My teaching experience truly began in my high school days, mostly in the leadership roles I had in choir. I was often in charge of sectionals and teaching music to the choirs. This really took off in my college career. Through the teacher education program, I have had several field experiences with both teaching classroom music and individual lessons. I have a couple semesters under my belt of private instruction as well as piano. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Voice
I taught private guitar lessons continuously, while in highschool and college. In between engagements in my performing career, I would always return to teaching. In 1992 I was certified by Dr. L Scott Martin, Phd from Juilliard, to teach vocal performance at his Academy of the Arts in Denver, and I have continued to the present, to coach young singers to express themselves with music. I have been blessed in helping many of my students to reach some impressive accomplishments in music, such major record deals, appearances on TV and Film, and getting in to some great music colleges.

Naturally, my method will adapt to each student's needs. This will depend firstly on what style of music we are working to develop. Next, I will base my approach on the students level of abilities. There are a number of things to consider, such as technique, aural capacity, intuitive understanding, and basic theoretical knowledge, as well as each student's particular personality traits and best method of receiving information. I have a large repertoire of pedagogical literature and performance pieces. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trombone
I love teaching the trombone! I think more kids should check it out, and adults should continue playing throughout their lives even if it isn't a profession. I am a graduate from the Lamont School of Music in DU, and received my bachelor's at Cal State Northridge, both degrees in performance. I've played in venues such as Carnegie Hall in New York and the Kennedy Center in DC. I am classically trained but also love to play jazz music. Read More
Instruments: Voice Clarinet
I'm passionate and have always had a great love for music. I have been singing since I was a young child and have been playing the Clarinet since 3rd grade. Music has always been a big part of my life and sharing and teaching others is just the icing on top of the cake so to speak. I love sharing my passion for music with others and helping them to also see the beauty in music and develop a passion and love for music as well. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trombone Euphonium Keyboard
As a professional, state-licensed music teacher for over fourteen years, I began teaching in Carlsbad, New Mexico in 2001 before moving to Colorado in 2007 and serving in Douglas County School District, Denver Public Schools, and Jefferson County Public Schools. Encouraging students to practice on a regular basis is the cornerstone of musical growth and development, and I help especially younger students find the balance between popular music and classical music as a means of motivating practice and developing their skills.

Instruments: Piano Voice Viola
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Focus is crucial to an effective practice, and different people have different needs to create a focused environment. I like to be in a closed room alone with all of the sheet music I'll need and some water, so that that I shouldn't need to leave the room and break my focus. I also encourage a back and forth dialogue with oneself, keeping it progress-oriented. After singing or playing a passage, I stop and ask myself how it went - what was good and what could have been better? If you come across sections that you just can't nail, bring them to your next lesson!
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
For a while I was pretty torn - the viola was the first instrument I was absolutely crazy about, but in the end I chose to specialize in voice and still consider it my primary instrument. I took piano lessons and learned to play the viola, but I have always been a singer - at church, in school, in the shower. It wasn't until I was in a college choir that I heard women use their free, powerful, operatic voices. I needed to explore that vocal style for myself, and I fell in love with the mastery of classical singing. Good classical technique gives a singer the tools they need to sing just about any genre.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I hold a bachelor's degree in vocal performance, but I started at the University of Minnesota intent on studying music education. I knew I wanted music to be my profession, and the implementation of that has been ever-changing. I realized that one of my favorite things about music was performing for others, and I love the glamour of the theatre. Opera was a natural choice and after even my first classical voice lesson, I was hooked. Vocal study has been an especially incredible way to learn music because it's so personal - your instrument is your body.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
Music is an addiction! I started with piano lessons in grade school, and I remember the announcement in middle school that we could sign up for band, choir, or orchestra. I didn't even think of my voice as an instrument at the time, but I signed up for choir AND orchestra. When I little sister signed up for guitar and later cello lessons, I couldn't keep my hands off of her instruments - the same thing happened when my little brother started playing violin, and I got my own electric guitar to work out some teenage angst. Since completion of my degree in vocal performance, I've been learning cajon, djembe, bass guitar, and mandolin. I love that the same melody or rhythm can sound so different from instrument to instrument, and I like fusing the sounds to craft unique soundscapes.
