Instruments: Piano Violin Viola

My approach to teaching is gentle and warm while maintaining high standards of excellence for both my instruction as well as my expectations of my students. When we both strive to do our best work each lesson, we have fun and learn new things which leads to more interest and pride on the student's part. There is nothing more exciting in teaching than seeing students progress and be proud of what they have done. Read More

Instruments: Flute Piccolo

I teach because I love to share the knowledge that I have obtained through my personal experiences and apply them to my students. Nothing is better than seeing my students improve on a weekly basis! I am patient, fun, and motivating towards my students. I respect that everyone learns at their own pace. I firmly believe that the experience of teaching privately is a two-way street between the instructor and the student: it is my responsibility to give the student the materials they need to further their musicianship, and with these tools given, the student has a personal responsibility to practice in order to fulfill the weekly-to-overall goal.

Instruments: Voice

I encourage lots of questions from my students. I will also ask them to tell me what they felt in there voice when I ask them to do something. I believe that the voice teacher is only as good as his student can understand what they are actually being asked to do. I set goals for my students, and ask that they practice every day for at least 30 minutes on various things that I may ask them to work on such as scales or a new song ect. Read More

I especially love to teach those who are beginning because, throughout my teaching, I really emphasize having correct body alignment, posture, and just an overall solid physical foundation, as that really sets up the students for a better and healthier musical career in the long run. However, if a student is farther along in their musical career, there is no need to fear, because I love teaching all levels, and it is just as possible to teach that physical foundation in a student that is farther along as it is to teach someone who has a fresh start.
