My teaching experience started not too long ago despite me playing professionally for awhile. I decided to start up private lessons during the COVID-19 pandemic over zoom and discord because my day job at the time had laid me off. However, I quickly learned that upon being a private teacher, it was difficult to market and advertise for myself in the hopes to get new students as well as keep up with my professional commitments.

Instruments: Piano Flute Piccolo
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I have been arranging for piano and flute for several years. Last year I decided to put them together and make my own CD. This took months of preparation in both arranging and practicing, before recording. I recorded the pieces in 2 separate batches. One in January, and the other in September of 2017. The CD was fun to make, but it still is useful, as I am using the arrangements in lessons. I also encourage my students to arrange pieces. One of my hymnplaying students also plays the harp, and I have been able to encourage her to arrange her own hymns to play.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Two of my young students passed their abrsm grade 1 and 2 exams with distinction, which is the highest mark. They had to memorize 3 pieces, one each from 3 different periods. We worked on one piece at a time., learning and then memorizing each. Sometimes I recorded the piece so they could play along. Many times they had measures to work on 3 times perfect each day. They also had scales and arpeggios to memorize, which we worked on one at a time, then reviewed all each week. They had to practice sight reading every day, and we worked on singing and rhythm during our lessons. I was so proud of their achievement, and so were they!
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I find memorizing pieces quite challenging. I get ever so excited when I'm allowed to use my music! :) This had always been a challenge for me, while many I know can memorize without an effort.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
For piano, I prefer to use Faber as a beginning method. I have used Alfred in the past, but I find that my young students start to equate certain fingers with certain notes, and this is difficult to overcome. But, once we get past the first couple of books, I am happy to use whatever the student brings to their lesson.
With flute, I have recently started using the Blocki method. I love the way it encourages the student to play both registers from the very beginning, and also the strong emphasis on scales, which are the building blocks for runs!
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I encourage my students to play scales at each practice session, which encourages the finger mobility. Sight reading is also important! Sometimes we have a sight reading book, or sometimes they can play through an easier book they already have. Then we move on to each piece, practicing the difficult parts first, then playing the piece through at the end as a treat. My younger students need to practice flash cards or a music app daily so they don't have to keep counting out the notes during their lesson or when sight reading.
