Nothing is quite as rewarding as seeing a student develop a real passion for music! Because of that, I think it's important for each student to progress at their own pace. I facilitate this by encouraging students to set goals for themselves and by exposing students to as much music as possible. With every student I seek to assess their individual waxing or waning interest in the material and adjust accordingly. Read More

For all my students, I first ask the question: why are you taking vocal lessons? I want to know first and foremost my students' goals and what they like/don't like about their singing voice. Then I start with the basics: what is happening in your body when you sing, and why? First I like to start with singing easy 5-tone scales to discover the students' voice type, then I talk to my students about what makes their voice special. Read More

I am a music coach that helps students push through the frustration that comes with learning something new, to the gratifying victory of reaching personal goals. With typical and non-typically developing students, adaptive lessons are possible with the use of larger picks or adaptive instruments. Everyone learns differently and as a music teacher, I adapt to the needs of my students. My music therapy experience has prepared me to think outside of the box and provide a musical experience that students will enjoy and want to continue into the future. Read More

For beginners with voice, I teach students about the voice and how to sing healthily. It is very important to learn how your body works and how to sing properly without damaging your voice. Next, we will practice vocal exercise to teach you proper technique. We will the move on to learning repertoire that is age-appropriate. We can sing repertoire of any genre or style- your choice! As we continue, you'll learn and expand your repertoire and learn how to sing properly, prepare for auditions, perform, and be confident on stage. Read More

My teaching experience goes back to my high school days. After I learned how to play guitar and played in a few bands, I knew that persuading a career in music was my passion. I taught a few students at my home and after high school attended Southern Union where I graduated with an associate in arts degree. In 1976 I graduated from Auburn University with a BS in Music Education. Read More

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Because of The Beatles. I was inspired by my father's record collection. I fell in love with The Beatles at an early age. All the music I loved as a child featured the guitar. From The Beatles to Jimi Hendrix. I then discovered classical music through my teacher. Andres Segovia blew my mind. And then Django. Then The Smiths. Then Radiohead. It just never stopped. The guitar was cast central in all of it. I was amazed at how many different sounds, styles and emotions could be made on the same instrument.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I've been fortunate to have had several great teachers who have inspired me. Beginning at a young age, I had a teacher who was talented and patient. He inspired me to practice. I couldn't wait until my next guitar lesson - I look forward to it all week. In college I had several professors who were instrumental in my growth as a musician. They challenged me intellectually. They challenged me as an artist. Being surrounded my musicians of world class caliber was highly motivating. My teachers were also working professionals who performed music around the world. I could see the results of hard work and practice in real time.
When will I start to see results?
"Results" probably means something different to various students. Establishing realistic goals is important. What are you trying to accomplish? Learning popular songs can happen quickly with regular practice. Performing an advanced classical piece is going to take more time. The more you practice, the faster you'll improve. Learning an instrument requires dedication, patience and discipline. It won't happen if you don't put the work in. These are valuable lessons that are useful in all areas of learning.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child shows enthusiasm for music and can hold an instrument they are ready! I've taught students as young as 5. 3/4 size guitars can help for the little ones. Do they love to listen to music? Do they sing along? Play air guitar? Talk about music? Do their friends play an instrument? For the younger child, they also must have the attention span to sit for a 30 minute lesson. The lesson time can increase to 60 minutes as they get older (7 - 10). Music can help build confidence in other areas.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Set a regular schedule with specified goals. 30 minutes of efficient practice will do more for your playing than 60 minutes of unfocused playing. Begin slowly, taking small sections of the music you are working on. Repetition is key to build muscle memory. If a particular section or phrase gives you trouble, slow down and repeat that phrase. Separate it from the rest of the piece/song. Visualizing your hands moving as you want them to helps. Close your eyes and envision yourself playing the part perfectly. Then slowly work through the section. Don't rush it. Time and repetition will get you there.
