Instruments: Piano
I love working with children and helping them discover the piano and the joy of playing music. I graduated from Baylor University with a Bachelor of Music degree in Piano Pedagogy and have been teaching ever since. I am an active member of the Richardson Music Teachers Association, which affords many musical opportunities for my students. My students participate in several festivals through RMTA throughout the year, and also participate in the state theory exam, if desired. Read More

For piano ages 7-12: I typically start with Primer Piano Adventures or Level 1. I also use Keith Snell Scale Skill Levels for skill and chord practices which is helpful for all kinds of music! For guitar and ukulele: Hal Leonard guitar and ukulele method. These books also teach reading the notes in sheet music and understanding how to play them on the guitar or ukulele, as well as including a tab. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
As a teacher my goal is not to simply teach a student how to play or sing a certain song. My goal is to teach my students how to use the discipline of music to help them to develop their character. To that end I emphasize learning music fundamentals well and being able to put them into practice playing or singing in public at every opportunity. I also believe that playing with other musicians helps students to solidify their skills so I encourage them to play in an ensemble at every opportunity. Read More

Music has always been my passion. I try to make every lesson fun and cater the music my students learn to their taste, because I have noticed that they learn more quickly and have fun doing so when it is music they enjoy. While being classically trained in one's instrument is important, what I find to be the most important is to make sure that I am able to pass along an enthusiasm for playing music! Read More
Instruments: Guitar Music Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I have been teaching beginner guitar students for just over 1 year now. I have taught students from ages 5 years old to 60+ yrs. My love for guitar is expressed through teaching others who have a desire to learn, and to develop a passion for music as it relates to playing the guitar. I believe that anyone can develop this skill, if they just dedicate themselves to lots and lots of practice, and book study. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Music Keyboard
I am a sixth semester student at Berklee College of Music, dual majoring in saxophone performance and jazz composition, and have studied with many inspiring professors as well as learned from many amazing educators. Since entering Berklee I have been able to not only study the material and concepts, but I have also gotten to study professors and how they educate students of all different backgrounds, all different levels of understanding, and how they navigate teaching a class with students who are all at different stages and levels of grasping material.

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My degree is a BS in Arts Administration with a minor in Radio/TV from Butler University in Indianapolis, IN. For a while I thought about being a Music Education major, but felt like I would be in a better position for administration so I would have more experiences to delve into upon graduation.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I like to welcome the student and check in quickly to see how their week was. Then I would get started on scales, a few major and minor scales, as well as harmonic and melodic versions of the minor scales. Then, I like to do some short etudes in my student's text-type book. I like to end a lesson by going through the areas of full pieces that need the most help. I love to hear a piece in its entirety if there's time to do so.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Hal Leonard is my go-to regimen for students. It's a comprehensive method which builds on the techniques needed to excel technically. I used this as a young student and feel it is a great base for young flautists.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
For me, the technical runs, trills, double and triple tonguing, 32nd note runs...I could go on and on. I could always feel the music. The technical side of hitting all the notes and having the breath support to sustain it is paramount.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I have loved teaching and witnessing how much a student has grown. That is the reason why I teach in the first place. Prior to that, I loved playing in ensembles in large music halls. You feel larger than life.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I've had my most recent student win a first place medal with her wind ensemble at their state contest. I've been working with her to enter a solo piece, but she's very shy and doesn't want to do a solo. I've also encouraged her to do a duet or trio with other flautists and I would help them as they practice. It hasn't happened yet, but I think she's more willing now than a year ago. Here's hoping she can overcome her stage fright.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My aunt thought I had the mouth to play the flute. I also loved the way it sounded. It was a challenging instrument in that one must have a tremendous amount of air flow, as it is not easy to breathe with a flute, it takes stamina and practice.
