Instruments: Piano

I am passionate about teaching music. For as long as I can remember, I love sharing the joy of music with others. I have studied piano for 15 years under private lessons and chose my concentration for my Liberal Studies BA to be music. Music is not just a passion for me, but is also part of my soul.

Instruments: Piano Voice Organ Synthesizer Keyboard

I started teaching piano in other people's homes soon after I became a student at College of the Sequoias in Visalia, CA. Since I sang mostly at church, people asked me if their children could learn more about music from someone who has worked on it for a long time. By the time I went to Fresno State, I wasn't able to teach nearly as much, and probably needed teaching, myself! Read More

My teaching method include a combination of technique, artistry, interpretation, expression, musicality, and repertoire. This approach attempts to build synthesis and synergy between the different elements of musicmaking—both vocal and instrumental: the development and honing of sound technique provided a basis for informed and tasteful musicality as well as, by extension, effective and meaningful interpretation and performance of literature. At the same time, an awareness of and attention to expression, emotion, and interpretation informs the building and practice of technique, giving it context and artistic function. Read More

Instruments: Violin

For beginning students, young or older, I start my lesson by playing a piece for them on my violin. They can listen and observe how I play the violin and how it sounds to them.

I always encourage listening to great historical violinists recordings to develop a sense of personality, style and tone in the students playing. Read More

Hello! I am a Lutenist, Guitarist, Bassist Lecturer with 20+ years of tutelage experience in several plucked Instruments.

The most important thing to me, however, is that they enjoy playing trumpet and that they put in the effort to improve. Read More
