Music Lessons in Woods Cross, UT

Instruments: Cello

I began teaching in 2016, and instantly fell in love with helping others learn a new skill! I think it is important to work together with my students (and their parents) to create a safe environment for learning and growth. I enjoy being able to cater my lessons to each individual student and find teaching styles that work well for them. It is rewarding to help my students recognize their growth over time, and support them in achieving their musical goals. Read More

I love teaching piano and violin lessons to students of all ages from beginner to upper intermediate levels. I studied piano performance with Robert Smith and violin performance with Percy Kalt at BYU; I have also studied with Jeffrey Shumway, former Head of Keyboard Studies, BYU and Carroll Meyer, Boise State University. These wonderful teachers guided and inspired me to attain and pass on classical technique and style to the next generation of musicians. Read More

Each person is different. Because of this, I always make sure each student is going at their own pace. At the beginning of the year, I sit down with each student and we set goals for our playing. I want students to feel motivated and inspired always, and to practice because they love it- not because they feel forced. I have competitions within the studios to motivate practicing, and talk about what we can do at home to make the violin/viola more fun. Read More

I have learned a lot from my previous teachers and mentors and hope to use their effective teaching styles to teach my own students. 1 lesson per week is a great amount. Keeping a music to-do list or music journal is great for organization. Scales and etudes build strength, intonation, and are a great and crucial warm up for exciting repertoire. All scale books are great, and half the time, you don't even need.a book! Read More

It is important for me to be aware of individual learning styles, so each lesson is tailored to each students needs. Often the goals for students depends on demands from school, so it is important to establish these based on school requirements as well as personal accomplishments the student may have. I use a lot of encouragement and positive feedback to help students stay motivated while at the same time introducing challenging material so that students feel inspired to excel. Read More
