When I became more involved in instrumental studies and performance, I quickly wanted to help others achieve musical excellence through myself and my experience as a medium! I have been a leader in several musical groups throughout my schooling. I was section leader in my high school concert band, and was also named drum captain for my last two years in the drumline of the HPU marching band. I have been able to lead and mentor other students in the music department as well as in the marching band and it is one of my favorite things to see those around me succeed through my aid.

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Music

For my young, beginning students, I have used Faber Piano Adventures. I find that the repetition with fingering and technique is essential for aspiring artists.

My academic background lies in the intersection of mathematics and music - I have given talks on music cognition, the physics of sound, and methods of overtone-based analysis at events like the Southern Oregon Arts and Research Conference and the Ronald E.

I began teaching music lessons to my friends and peers who were beginning to take up new instruments(piano, bass, & guitar) when I was in middle school. At that time, I had developed a strong foundation in piano, begun learning trumpet in school, and self-taught myself the guitar. In high school, I taught younger students throughout the school district private lessons in trumpet through an organization called Arts Without Boundaries - many of these students took lessons with me for multiple years.
