I've been playing music my whole life. My father is my biggest inspiration. I started my training at Peabody when I was 5 years old in their music exploratory program. Next I studied cello for many years. When I was a teenager about 13 I started trying to hold my cello sideways and that's hone my father bought me an electric bass. In the NAVY I picked up the guitar and I've been professionally playing for over 25 years. Read More

Moving back home felt like a natural step, allowing me to reconnect with my roots while taking advantage of professional opportunities in a familiar environment.

At the same time, my experiences as a student have inspired me to become a music instructor, helping others discover the same sense of fulfillment and confidence that music has given me. Read More

All of which are “high-level”, professional, touring festival bands. I’ve spent the past 20 years immersed in the Atlanta music community and it has been a valuable and immeasurable learning experience. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar
For beginners, on piano I def reccomend Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Also, "My Favorite Solo Album," by Max Eckstein. Once progression and consistency has been developed I always encourage my students to share what they have learned in to a recital performance. I always make sure to teach what the student is interested in no matter what their ability is because with practice and a good student mentality my tudents achieve their goals quicker than usual.

Essentially, I believe in methods for instrumental instruction. I have my favorites for each instrument I teach. A method is like a staircase with which the students are able to methodically progress in music and it is the fundamental for any particular style of music they would like to enjoy practicing and performing. Of course, additional material can also be added during the lessons according to the current level of the students and specific styles they would like to get acquainted with through their practice Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Repetition and going to the specific measure or line that is giving problems is effectively practicing. Once one gets the specific piece, adding on a measure at a time will reinforce the learned material through repetition.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on the trombone is the slide-tongue technique, where the slide correlated with the tongue of the performer. It can be quite difficult, but practicing using slide movement warm-ups will help aid in the mastery in this technique.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am proud to be one of the first female trombone section leaders at South Carolina State University, and the first female section leader at my high school. I have performed in so many places, but my most favorite accomplishment was performing in the Honda Battle of the Bands. I had grown up watching the Honda Battle of the Bands as a child. I always told myself that I would one day be apart of a Historically Black College and University (HBCU) Band perform in the event. Through practice, hard word, and diligence, I was able to perform in the event--3 times.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose the trombone because it was different from any other instrument in music. I truly enjoy the slide and I feel truly at peace when playing it.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes, my high school band director was my main inspiration to become a music teacher. He molded me as a musician and motivated me to be the person that I know I could be. He challenged me through challenging pieces of music and he was like a second father to me. He truly was always there for his students.
When will I start to see results?
It depends on your child, how much the student practices, and how the student keeps up with the lessons. You will see results when you can see your student progressively being able to blow through the instrument obtaining sound. It does take time and Rome was not built in a day, but progress will show when the student is comfortable and confident in what they are performing.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Children actually are ready to start lessons at a young age. It all depend on how engaging the instructor is that determines how much your student will gain from the lesson. I have worked with students as young as three years old, and they have been beyond ready for lessons
