Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Viola Bass Guitar Harmonica Mandolin Electric Violin Fiddle Double Bass
My teaching experience spans 6 years. I've taught all ages, so I'm comfortable with everybodys learning pace. In college I studied under the Latin Grammy award winning La Catrina Quartet, and I hope to pass down the knowledge I gain from that experience to my students. With my students, I take them step by step through were they are as a musician, to were they need to be. My experience working in ensembles will also expand my students ability to play in groups of all sizes (which will often happen). Read More
Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
Everyone who would pay to have private music lessons is willing to learn from the teacher. I will have different teaching methods when it comes to different students, everyone has their own skill level and from different ages. But there are few things I need to say :I expect students to work with me so we can save more time. I will have students play and listen at the same time. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Recorder
Just like homeschooling, students will learn individually at their own pace. Students must enjoy their lesson. Sometimes the students may find it discouraging but it is my mission to give them acknowledgment in their accomplishments and nurturing so they can continue to flourish and be the best musicians they can be.

Instruments: Piano Cello Music
I am a positive and encouraging instructor, and emphasize proper technique, music theory, and fundamentals through a variety of musical styles ranging from classical to popular music. My students are all ages (I once had a student start at the age of 70!) and come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences. I work with students to help them balance a practice schedule with the rest of their lives. I consider myself to be a coach and facilitator and work with my students to set realistic, achievable, but challenging goals. Read More

For piano ages 7-12: I typically start with Primer Piano Adventures or Level 1. I also use Keith Snell Scale Skill Levels for skill and chord practices which is helpful for all kinds of music! For guitar and ukulele: Hal Leonard guitar and ukulele method. These books also teach reading the notes in sheet music and understanding how to play them on the guitar or ukulele, as well as including a tab. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute
Music has been my life for so long and it is my passion! I started reading sheet music when I was 4. I started to learn Piano when I was 5. At age 7 I started learning basic Music Theory. At age 10, I began my journey with Flute and I have been playing ever since! I have played with the Arlington Community Orchestra, Flower Mound Philharmonic Orchestra, Flower Mound Flute Choir, TWU Wind Symphony, TWU Flute Choir, TWU Jazz band, TWU Pep band, and recently became a sub for the Mesquite Symphony.

Instruments: Piano
I love to see students grow and develop their gifts, and it is important that students are treated as individuals who learn at their own pace. I encourage goal-setting by the student in addition to my goals. This helps a student know what he or she is working toward, which I've found to be helpful especially in the knitty-gritty moments of learning how to play. Setting goals also gives students the chance to achieve milestones throughout the process and define their success as musicians, making them eager to continue on in the process of learning. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Recorder Music Keyboard
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I like to use Faber and Faber for piano, because they write interesting songs and tend to use familiar tunes for beginners.
I found an awesome website. I use 8notes.com. Free music.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A practice session for me could last hours or minutes depending on what I am needing to go over. I love playing the instruments, so anything I work on is practiced over and over.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I've always had music in my life my father was a band rector my grandfather was a music man he started music and places that didn't have music. My grandmother was also a music teacher. I started music when I was in kindergarten playing the trumpet and then when I got older I started playing the piano. I went to college we became a music teacher and taught for 23 years in public education. In 199 1 92 I started writing songs and performing on the side in churches. I took lessons most of my young life but quit in my high school years. Yes I do regret because I could have really improved a lot my piano playing skills.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I weren't a musician I would be an artist. But I am a musician. Music has been and always will be my life. It would be neat to travel around and share my music in various places.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Favorite tyles of music, classical, praise, contemporary, jazz . My favorite style of music to play is contemporary christian music. I write and play it for God, like Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, They all played in the church. My style is different than classical.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I play piano and trumpet. Trumpet was my major instrument. I fell in love with the piano in college. I picked up the guitar and am self taught to play chords. I write songs using the piano and guitar.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a BA in Music Education. I had planned to be a band director as my dad and direct bands, but I became an Elem. music teacher after doing my student teaching. I am certified in all -level PK-12 music education. I also write songs. I have a love for Music Theory, and how chords are arranged in music. Performance I traveled and played in different venues such as concerts and churches in my younger 20-30 with my music ministry. I played live concerts, you can find these on youtube, and on my reels on fb too.
