Despite growing up in a family full of musicians, it took me a while before realizing that music was one of my true passions and wanted to share that love of music with others. I have been playing trumpet for nearly 25 years now, first starting formal lessons when I was 10 years old. I began teaching myself guitar in college and have been playing for almost 15 years. Much of my classroom instruction in music was completed during my time at Wisconsin Lutheran College. Read More

For younger students, I tend to make learning the guitar more enjoyable and fun. Since younger kids need motivation, I prefer to let them play with accompaniment in order to make the lesson and their playing more enjoyable. For more advanced students, I believe that introducing them to variety of music styles is essential to build their musical personality and let them decide what style they want to learn. Finally, I encourage my students to perform in public, so they can build their confidence and realize the great outcome of their hard work. Read More

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream piece of music to perform would probably have to be the Dvorak Cello Concerto in B minor. It is an absolutely phenomenal piece of music and in my opinion showcases almost every different sound that the cello is able to create. It is a very difficult piece of music to perform as well, so if I am able to perform it, it means that I have put a lot of time and energy into an important goal for myself. The piece itself is very triumphant and heroic, and it transmits an idea of eternal victory and joy, which I think is an important message that the world needs.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I originally wanted to learn how to play the double bass as my primary instrument. However, at the time my mother told me it was "too big to haul around", so I went with the next instrument down on the size scale, the cello. I fell in love immediately with the rich sound that could be pulled out of the instrument as well as they way it could sing and fill a room with light and joy. It also was a plus that I got to sit down every time I played! After two years of not knowing whether or not I was actually going to commit to the instrument, I saw a performance on the internet of Jacqueline Du Pre playing the Elgar Cello Concerto, and that sealed the deal for me!
When will I start to see results?
After the first lesson. Inspiration is a key component to healthy musical growth, and once the student has had that exposure to knowing how much is out there for them to learn and has a foundation built on their own goals and dreams, it changes the way they practice and they way they think about their instrument. It becomes a part of them rather than just an object in which they are doing something with to create sound. It becomes an extension of their soul and existence and a conduit in which they learn of the universal languages, music.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
This is a tricky question. A good indicator is if your child is intrinsically motivated to play their instrument without prompting to practice. Another good indicator is if your child is doing well in their school's program but is becoming bored or distracted with the repertoire that their class is working on. They may be ready for a more direct approach to growing their skills as well as the opportunity to push their limits so that they realize that there is a lot more music available to them than they realize.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Acknowledging that practice is well, practice is a vital component to effective practice. A lot of students see practice as a performance, and can easily become frustrated or distracted when mistakes are made or when tedious processes such as scales or etudes are encouraged. Another important aspect of effective practice is breaking down larger elements into smaller "building blocks", so that when you put them all together, you are able to facilitate completeness in the larger piece of music. Most importantly, practice every day, even if you can only do so for 15 minutes!
