Music Lessons in Indian Head, PA

Instruments: Piano Voice Music

My teaching experience dates back to my days as a vocal performance major at West Virginia University, where I began teaching private lessons and group lessons to members of my church music ministry. One particular joy that I take from teaching private lessons is seeing students who want to sing but struggle with issues of confidence have a breakthrough where they take a risk in a performance and achieve something they never thought they could do before!

I want to see students achieve their own goals. Not everyone is meant to take the same path in music but everyone should have the opportunity to grow and learn. My hope is to help each student uncover all of their latent talent and excel to their utmost ability as a saxophonist, musician, and person. To that end, I really aim to get to know each student and personalize their instruction. Read More

Over the past few years, I have honed my online teaching skills in order to make virtual lessons just as effective as in-person. Read More

I believe it is important for any teacher to be patient and compassionate. Every student is different in their abilities and learning processes. So I remain flexible in trying new ways to keep students engaged and not be distracted if certain techniques become difficult. Unlike a course where you receive a grade, lessons are like coaching sessions. Similar to coaching sports, consistent workouts and drills help build the foundation to perform. Read More

I devise a unique program for each individual student. I do not beleive in using the same method for every student because of the differences in theways students digest the information.

I love seeing a students eyes light up when they get excited about music or figure our that they can now do something they were not able to do before. Therefore, I am a big proponent of encouraging and not being too critical. When a student feels they have someone rooting for them and not just telling them what to do, it makes the whole process that much more fun. Read More
