Instruments: Piano Voice
I love seeing students progress and grow a passion for music. I think that it is extremely important that a student have a working trust with their music teacher. Opening up and allowing oneself to be real and show another person your raw self is difficult for both adults and children alike. I try to develop a working relationship with all of my students so that when they walk through the door for their lesson, they know that they are safe to make mistakes without judgement. Read More

I began teaching when I was in college, teaching piano lessons to students in the community. Since then, I've taught in every church I've been a part of, and at several studios in the larger community. First and foremost, I believe that learning music should be fun! While I strive to encourage excellence, students should enjoy what they are learning. My students are encouraged to practice regularly and participate in public performace, be it studio recitals or in other venues. I was taught that sharing music is just as important as making it!

Instruments: Flute
My teaching experience began in 2012 as a coach for students auditioning for middle school local honors bands. I have since been consistently teaching students of all ages for both auditions for honors ensembles/competitions and for basic flute training. Consistent practice is always a key focus with all of my students. I find that the best way to motivate students is by helping them the fun in learning! I have personal experience with participating in the various honors ensembles in the Charlotte and NC area, including All-District Band, and NC All-State Band. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I want my students to succeed in their studies with me. I will reflect and make accommodations so that my students will understand the concepts I am teaching. I want the student to be engaged so we will explore their interest so that they can apply to the style of music that they want to perform. With that in mind, they will be able to read music and play by ear. Read More
Instruments: Flute Piccolo
I have taught private lessons to students of all ages since my time in college. I enjoy working with a wide variety of ages, and levels of experience from beginners, to students with over ten years of experience who are auditioning for college programs. As a public school music teacher, I am able to compliment what students are already learning in their school music programs and help them prepare for local and regional auditions. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music
At the beginning of our time, I like to set goals with my students. As we progress, we revisit these goals to make sure were on track and to see if any of the goals have changed. Students should always learn at their own pace, not mine, so I dont like to be too strict with these goals and progressions. Its all about having fun and learning a new skill! Read More
Instruments: Guitar Voice Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I'm a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love for music. I believe in having fun while learning, and building my lessons around what the students are interested in when teaching the fundamentals of playing. I have been professionally performing since 2008, from major venues to private events. I have learned not only the ins and outs of playing a guitar, but also how to really bring a song to life and connect with an audience. Read More

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I was 14 years of age when I made my first monies playing Music. It was at that time that I knew it was something I could do successfully
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
YES. It is my older siblings and relatives who garnered a lot of notoriety in the Field.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
As a Woodwind Instrument Player, it came quite naturally to delve into the other woods as a double and also to ensure gainful employment as an Instrumentalist capable of playing more than one instrument in the Woodwind Family.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
BeBop is my favorite style. My earliest recollection of Music falls in that genre.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would be in a Mental Health or a Therapy Career had I not chose to study Music.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I've spent a lot of time learning to approach my primary instrument from various approaches genre-wise; that is to say playing various styles of Music effectively.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Yes, I will use whatever is appropriate. I don't teach by rote only. Most of my lessons come from a Methodology Approach, or two.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
After the warm-up, I will review material covered before beginning to focus on issues that present as difficult.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
Both Degrees are in Music Education. I choose Education to ensure proficiency in Teaching.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I play Jazz, Rhythm and Blues, and Popular Music. I have no particular piece in any of these genres that is a preference.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I always wanted my first instrument; it seems even before I started Music lessons. Maybe it was because of something I saw, or something I heard. I was very young. But when asked what instrument I wanted to play, I got it.
When will I start to see results?
You will see results immediately in how the instrument is approached, the care and maintenance of it, as well an appreciation for it, the enthusiasm of the child.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My Education is what I'm most proud of. My ability to pick up concepts quickly has taken me a long way also.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I am uncertsin as to the accomplishments of my students due to the fact that I have relocated and lost contact with them.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My first teacher was my Sister. She inspired me greatly and lead by example. After her, my HS Music Teacher became a mentoring friend
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If the child has a propensity for Music in any way, lessons can commence.
Observe the child’s keen interest.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice at a slow tempo. Slow enough to maintain a steady flow to the piece. Once you are familiar with the notes, you can speed up to the necessary beats per minute. Practice everyday if not but for 10-15mins
