Instruments: Piano Cello
I encourage students to set goals for each week and complete them. If your children want to learn the cello, I will use encouragement and play as a way to introduce music. Being a friend with them, introducing and getting to know the cello in this way is an important criterion for me. I hope everyone can learn the piano happily and enjoy the fun of playing the cello. But if there are students who want to learn piano with me in a more professional way, I will also be very happy for you to come. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Fiddle Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
For beginners I like to start with just a few chords, something to get them going and playing and get excited. So many songs have two or three chords! By getting a few under the fingers we can start to learn songs and get dexterity and scales going a little later. Practice is something I can't stress enough. Get into the habit of practicing every day, even if its just for 20 minutes. Read More

I have taught piano for nearly a decade. As I was growing up, my mother taught piano in our house and I started learning at five years old. When I was twelve, I took on my first student, who was about four years old at the time. Since then, I have taught in a variety of settings, from double teaming pairs of students with my mother to teaching cello, piano, drums, and basic music skills online to students living in Haiti, France, and across the United States!

I always explore different methods that might fit the age and personality of the student but for keyboard lessons I have found success with the Alfred Piano Method. Instrumental lessons usually follow the method book that is selected by their school band director. Beyond that I have a large library of supplementary music to expand the students interest with new styles and composers.I'm very flexible with the method books and after I get to know the student I can select a method that would work the best for instruction.

I am a passionate musician, educator, conductor, and composer, and I have been happily obsessed with music since I began piano lessons at age 10. I joined the school band program in 6th grade, and since then, I have learned how to play and teach many different instruments. My primary instrument is percussion, but I play piano, low brass, clarinet, bass guitar, and I also have perfect pitch. I also have had opportunities to share my love of music by arranging and composing for my own students as well as being commissioned by school band programs. Read More

I am a member of National Music Teachers Association, Colorado State Music Teachers Association and Foothills Music Teachers Association. I have taught both at the private and public school levels and teach students beginning at age 5 through adult level. I have sung with Charlotte Opera, Jacksonville Opera and the Lakewood Chorale as soprano soloist. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to when I was an undergraduate. I began giving private lessons to younger college and high school students. Since then I have consistently taught students privatly either at my studio, at their home, or at a school. While obtaining my Masters degree at the University of Northern Colorado I was a teaching assistant and got hands on teaching experience with big bands and small jazz combos. Read More

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I have many teachers that can take credit for this, beginning with both my parents. My mother was my children'c choir director at church. Prior to that, I can remember her helping me match pitch as I would sing. My father was my junior high (middle school) band director. Needless to say, I grew up in a very musical home. I had two different piano teachers growing up. Both of them were highly educated and respected musicians and educators. My high school band directors were both excellent and inspired me greatly. In college, I had two different private studio teachers who taught me much about private instruction with techniques I use to this day.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I played trombone and piano all through my schooling and still do play both. I have found piano to be my go-to instrument when I just want to sit down and make music. I can cover all the parts as a solo artist and make music that will appeal to the room, orchestrating as I go. The piano allows you to fill out the bog sounds and emote the tender moments like no other instrument. While I feel I am pretty good at the instrument, I always feel inspired to improve in my technique and expression on the piano.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Seeing so many who I have instructed along the way continue their love and passion for music and piano is always heartening. I have composed and recorded over pieces of music on the piano, currently on 5 cd's, with a sixth cd on it's way. Playing and performing live for people who come to hear you play and seeing them buy your music and comment on it later is always heartening. Hearing people's emotional responses to music I have composed is a truly beautiful thing. I really take it to heart. Music is all about the moment.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
My first year of private teaching, I taught for a private studio in Greeley, CO. We would do lessons at students' homes, then have a "keyboard band" practice at the studio once per week. During the keyboard band time, students would play some musical pieces together and it was a unique concept. Several studios of this type were set up throughout northern Colorado, so we had an adjudicated contest pitting the studio schools against each other. Our studio school won that year.
In addition, my school choirs have won numerous awards.
I did have a middle school piano student whom I recommended to the Aspen Summer Piano Institute and was accepted. Earlier in the year, he earned a Superior rating at State Contest.
