Instruments: Piano Guitar
I am passionate about music and enjoy sharing that passion with others. In 2018, I graduated from the University of Dayton with a Bachelor of Arts in Music Therapy and minor in Psychology. I am currently a full time music therapist at University Hospitals Seidman Cancer Center, Main Campus. I love working as a music therapist, but I also enjoy teaching music lessons. I have been playing classical piano for about 15 years and acoustic guitar for about 5 years. Read More

Every student learns differently, so by finding out what inspires my student, I am able to create individiualized lesson plans that cater to my student's needs without losing focus on the fundamentals of music. Music is such a blessing and should be fun! Ample time is given to students to discover their own music and inherent rhythms while studying the vast pedigree of music that has come before us. My lesson plans incorporate everything from reading writing music, jam sessions (often times with me!), and recording time. Read More

I have over ten years of experience playing the guitar, drums, and bass playing all kinds of genres of music. My live performance experience includes playing with an instrumental band for house events for one year (drums). A rock band performing all around northern Indiana for three years(drums). Youth group worship for two years (guitar), High school chapel worship 2 years (bass). I also have done recording studio work while playing throughout the years. Read More

I love music and have been playing for over 20 years now as well as teaching for the past 10. I have played in almost any kind of musical situation and style over the years from orchestras to jazz bands to solo guitar, etc. Many of my students have gone on to get accepted into universities and get scholarships. I've been very lucky to have so much support and help over the years and I want to pass that on to my students. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Banjo
I like to teach students a few easy chords to get them started. Hundreds of songs can be play with only 3 chords. I also like to teach students some 2-note chords also called power chords. Rock and roll and blues are often played with power chords. I find that students can begin playing some common rock and blues rhythms only after a few lessons. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Oboe
I began teaching back in my sophomore year of high school when one of my friends wanted to learn how to play the piano. I gave them half hour lessons once a week and tailored my teaching to fit what techniques they wanted to learn. After that, I began branching out and teaching other friends, and eventually found myself helping out the middle school bands during my study hall. Now that I am in college, my own playing has improved and I have found new ways to connect and teach students whether that be in person, or by using technology such as skype. Read More

I have extensive experience both as a soloist and with ensembles. I have played for a number of jazz big bands and new music ensembles. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Play Slow. Learn Fast. Stay Calm.
Many people make this crucial mistake when trying improve. We get impatient, antsy, and aggravated when we can't get something right away. Well we have to slow things down. When we slow things down we can give our brains a chance to acknowledge where the issues lie in our playing. It helps us figure out how to approach the issue differently rather than continuing to bang our heads against the wall and that gets us nowhere. Then we get better and more efficient at practicing and before you know you you're crushing songs you once thought were impossible to play.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Sometimes you won't. I didn't know I was ready to start lessons until I got a guitar in my hands. If you're not sure if you child is ready, try to expose them to the instrument. Show them music, go to performances, have a friend who plays teach them a thing or two. If they love listening to music and always ask about it then they might be ready for lessons. Remember, though, it should be something THEY want to do. I've had so many children who were only taking guitar lessons because it was something their parents wanted for them. If their heart isn't in don't force it on them. It may just be that they haven't found the instrument that is calling for them.
When will I start to see results?
Learning an instrument is something that takes your entire life to master. But there are two things that you can do to see results right away: REGULAR practice and a DESIRE to practice. I can't emphasize this enough. A lesson is not practice. practice is done regularly between lessons so that there is some improvement to build upon for the next lesson. If you or your child are not practicing between lessons then you will not see any progress. In order to get better you need to build the neurological pathways that will facilitate the level of playing you want to achieve. Additionally, if you don't have the desire to practice then you won't see much improvement in your playing.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I wouldn't say that I had a teacher that specifically inspired me to go into music. Rather, a local music shop owner donated guitars to my school and a group guitar elective class was created. I originally signed up so I could goof off but I found that I really loved the instrument. Because of him I was able to first be exposed to it and i was able to build a love for it. Additionally, my parents saw how much I was enjoyed this class. I wouldn't stop talking about and kept asking if I could get a guitar. Thankfully, they saw my interest and had the money to buy me my first guitar. I was so excited about it and they never had to tell me to go practice. I did it entirely on my own. Actually, most of the time they'd tell me to stop because I played so much, haha.
