Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Ukulele Recorder Music Keyboard
My teaching experience dates back about 20 years. Since then, I’ve taught many levels and many instruments. I’ve taught students ranging from 18 months to 81 years old. I’ve taught many styles;including jazz, pop, and rock. I’ve had students to make videos and win several competitions. My favorite genre to teach is classical. With classical, you can pull all of the other genres out of it. When you learn classical first, everything else seems to fall into place. Read More

For me, the most amazing aspect of teaching music is to assist students in developing a musical identity of their own. Nothing could be a greater blessing than to experience students cultivating a personal and profound relationship with the magic of music firsthand, and to be there to help them to further their passion is a gift beyond what I am capable of expressing in words. By sharing the musical knowledge I have gathered throughout my life in lessons that are dynamic and adaptable yet consistent in terms of supporting students' growth, it is my intention to help to nourish students' own love for music, just as others have inspired me to do the same.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
I spend a lot of class time teaching students how to practice correctly so that when they are practicing alone they will know what to do to make their time productive. I love seeing the pride and self confidence that a student develops from mastering a particularly difficult exercise. I love being able to encourage them and see them through the tough times and be able to celebrate those victories with them. Read More

I try to get to know each student a little in the introduction/first lesson. I ask about their music goals and where they would like to be in a few months to a year. We talk about their favorite styles of music and artists. I am so excited to see my students progress and learn a new chord, play a new song well, sing a more challenging song, increase their vocal range, and become excited about their new musical skills!

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would write. I love to tell stories - which is what writing songs is for me. I find people and experiences to be so interesting. I'm inspired by ideas. By how people think. Language, like music, can be beautiful and graceful. I'm inspired by how a great author can turn phrases. Like writing songs, I'm moved to create things that don't already exist. Writing a story is like sitting with the guitar and writing a new song. Beginning with an idea, a sound, a character - then developing that sound or character into a story. Both writing books and songs is an attempt to explain the human condition. To connect emotionally.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I don't have a dream piece to perform. I write my own music and get the most satisfaction performing my own songs. As a child, there was certainly music I wanted to perform. Anything by The Beatles or Jimi Hendrix. In college, there were a variety of classical pieces that I wanted to perform. One of my favorite pieces to perform on guitar is "Asturias (Leyenda)" a work by the Spanish composer and pianist Isaac Albéniz. Originally a piano piece, it has become popular on the guitar. I'm most excited to write and record my music. Performing those songs live is the height of music, for me.
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 of Arts degree from Lindenwood University with emphasis in Classical Guitar Performance. It's a Liberal Arts degree - I also studied literature, history, science, math, etc. I chose the classical music program because I wanted to learn more about Music History. I also wanted to learn advanced Music Theory. I wanted a program that was diversified outside my major. For example, I learned about the Renaissance period in Music History while also learning what was going on in the world outside of music and art in my World History class.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I spend most of my time writing, recording and performing live. But I do take time to study. I have a playlist on Spotify with a list of songs or pieces of music I want to learn. I also have a large collection of classical scores that I work on regularly. When I learn a song, I listen to all the instruments. I won't solely focus on the guitar. I will learn the vocal (lyrics and melody), I'll study the what the rhythm section is doing. I'll study the production. I want to learn everything about the song.
