Instruments: Piano Voice
For beginning piano students, I use Alfred's All-in-one Piano Course books. These books combine repertoire and theory, thereby cutting down on the number of books a new student needs to purchase. I use a variety of materials for voice students. I may ask that my voice students purchase books of repertoire that contain songs useful for building on their strengths and working on their weaknesses. However, I also have an extensive music library in my home studio. Read More

I'm a musician who enjoys teaching just as much as I enjoy performing. I have sung in many operas, sung for many venues including school dances, sports games and on recordings. I have sung and played in multiple genres and continue to sing, perform, compose, teach and conduct. I want people to love music and get involved in music regardless of how far they intend to go with itbecause music can really bless someone's life. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I have a great rapport with the students because we both generally want to be there. I have learned a lot about myself over the years about the various ways people learn. One cannot approach every student with the same program. Some are more visual and love to read music, some have a great ear and can play back something they only have heard once. I try to be aware of strengths, and work on the things that need more focus. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I am a positive piano teacher and good with both children and adults. I use positive reinforcement that I learned from working with people with disabilities. I studied piano, theory and composition in college for three years and have studied with performing artists afterwards. I have worked with other professionals to compose a ballet and enjoy working with young people. I performed in college many times and have the experience to teach students the challenges in memorization and performance. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Clarinet Drums Euphonium Tuba Orchestral Percussion
I have also taught general music from kindergarten up through 5th grade, and assisted bands at the university level. My performance experience has taken me to many wonderful places--College bowl games and the NCAA Tournaments to international hotspots such as Bogota, Columbia and even as far away as China. I have also been fortunate enough to perform with musical icons such as Doc Severinson, Mariachi Cobre, Byron Stripling, John Fedchock, Bobby Shew, Five by Design, Club Swing, the Harry James Orchestra, Andre Williams, and notable groups such as the Las Cruces Symphony Orchestra, Phil Campo and the "Loose Change" Jazz band, the Salt Lake Alternative Jazz Orchestra, and many others.

I am a versatile music teacher. As an undergraduate at Ithaca College, I learned each band and orchestra instrument from the college instructor. For example, I learned to play the oboe from the oboe professor. We had to make our own reeds and use them to play our final exam. Through this rigorous training, I learned to play all major scales and high school level music on the flute, clarinet, oboe, bassoon, trumpet, French Horn, trombone, baritone, tuba, violin, viola, cello, double bass, and percussion.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I would suggest that students start out practicing for a short period a few times a week (3 or 4 times is a good start), then gradually expand the length of the practice time as they advance and can play more music. For example, a half-hour 3 times a week is a good start. It also depends on the age of the student because the older the student is, the longer attention span they will possess for practicing. When I first started learning drumset, I would practice for a half-hour 3 times a week. Two years later, I was practicing for an hour a day 4 or 5 times a week. After I had been playing for 3 or 4 years, I would practice anywhere from 2 to 4 hours a day and normally every other day. Students NEED to practice every week else they will normally not see much progress over a period of time.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
I think before anything, your child should have a genuine interest in music. If they do not, there is no point in wasting their time and your money because they might take lessons at first but later they will not continue with it. If your child loves learning and can retain information, they should definitely be ready to take lessons. If they can manage to maintain attentiveness for at least a half hour, they should be ready. Of course, a good teacher will work to help them maintain their attentiveness!
When will I start to see results?
This depends on a number of factors: the student's level of motivation, the amount of work they put into practicing, and the amount and length of the lessons they take. The more they can retain information and hold interest, the faster the results you will see, and it could take as little as a couple of weeks. As far as seeing results for learning the basics, I would say on average, a couple of months to a year should be enough time for the student to successfully learn the basics for their instrument. However, it could take them less time, depending again on the student. Also, if the student has already taken music lessons before, that will help expedite their progress because they will already have some knowledge of basic concepts like rhythm and melody.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My teachers were always wonderful, but my own motivation ultimately led me to continue learning and playing music, at least as far as drumming is concerned. I was mostly inspired by the musicians I listened to and admired like Neil Peart, Mike Portnoy, and Bill Bruford. When it came to piano, there was one teacher in college who inspired me to want to advance my level of piano performance. My music history teacher played a sonatina by Scarlatti in class one day and later performed a whole piano concerto by memory at a school concert, which blew my mind. I was amazed at her level of memory because at most concerts I've been to, the pianist has always performed with sheet music.
