Instruments: Piano Cello Trumpet Trombone Flute Clarinet Double Bass Euphonium

I cater lessons to YOUR needs and goals. I am not invested in there being a "right" technique of any kind. Together we will create a custom approach so that you will love the experience of playing the music you love.  I will share fun and efficient ways to practice so that you get immediate results. If desired, I also guarantee you will be playing a blues and improvising within a maximum of 6 weeks as long as you practice at least 10 minutes, three times a week.  You will have the option of playing along with recordings minus your part so that you can experience the joy of ensemble playing early on in the safety of your own home. I love creating small ensemble groups of students at similar levels and arranging concerts at regular intervals.

Instruments: Voice Music

My main goal isn't just to teach a technical foundation of singing, but an absolute passion for music as a whole. It's important for me to help each of my students realize their own unique potential at their own pace. I will help them each to set their own goals for their learning as well as setting goals for them that will push them to their best. I want to focus on creating a positive and encouraging environment so that my students are excited to come back next week to show me all the progress they've made with their practice. Read More

Instruments: Violin Electric Violin Fiddle

I did not intend to make teaching my life's work. Aside from teaching a few students while I began performing in various folk bands, and working in technology during the day, I was busy bringing up my daughter. After many years of maintaining a technology career, I took violin lessons with Michael Snow who introduced me to a life changing "Creating Your Life" course taught by Robert Fritz. Using the tools of creative visualization, I imagined a life of fulfillment, joy and music. Read More

I consider myself a laid back teacher who still has solid expectations. I understand that each student's feasible time commitment may be different and I would like to honor that. With that said, I expect my students to put time into their music, because that is the only way to make progress and to maximize their ultimate enjoyment of playing an instrument. I will set realistic weekly goals for each student, trying to balance their interests with my evaluation of what they need to work on to make the most progress. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

Some are booking gigs at large venues opening for big name artists, others are pursuing careers in music and are getting into schools they never thought possible, others are finally gaining the courage to perform in public, etc. We all seek out voice training for different reasons and it gives me great pleasure be able to assist each singer with his/her personal goals in a way that is individualized, engaging, and exciting!
