Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs.. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

For piano students just starting out, I like Alfred’s basic piano library, and the Bastien piano basics. There are several other piano courses I’m excited to try as well. For both piano and voice students, I like to include a book of tunes with which the student is familiar: movie tunes, Disney songs, etc. For older students, I will focus a little more on the different time periods of music and help them to gain an appreciation for each.

The first step is to build a foundation, a base that all musical ability will be built on. This core will be built of fundamental elements. (This step is fun because you are able to play your instrument.) Once a foundation is created all newly learned material will add on to that base foundation.

(This step is really exciting, and leads you to new musical elements and new ideas.) Next you begin to learn musical techniques. Read More

Growing up in a musical family, I gravitated toward the drums to help round out the family band. My passion for drum set and percussion grew in middle school and high school when I joined concert, marching and jazz bands. I studied music in college, honing my drum set skills with an emphasis in jazz. I graduated from the University of Kansas with a bachelor's degree in music. While in college, another passion arose: teaching. Read More

One of the most important things that I stress is consistency in practice as well as correct practice. Both my piano lessons and vocal coaching emphasize technique but my main goal is to build confidence in performance. Confidence can only come from correct practice, but correct practice can only come if you're motivated and you're having fun! For my younger students I make sure to change things up to avoid boredom while teaching new angles of a certain skill. Read More
