Instruments: Piano
I have seventeen years of experience teaching piano. I teach musical expression through the instruction of sequential musical skills, varied repertoire, sight reading, ear-training, music theory and technique. My purpose is to help each student develop a love and appreciation of music. I hope that music will be an avenue of fulfillment and a source of joy that will last them a lifetime. Read More

I've had many great opportunities including directing, designing and starring in musicals and plays (even Shakespeare!), in addition to teaching music to individual students and larger groups. I've even had multiple experiences as a rehearsal pianist and musical director for shows like Fiddler on the Roof, and Spring Awakening. My personal experience with music began back in middle school when I joined band as a trombonist, but after a while I felt I wanted to try something a bit more accessible. Read More

My programs for each student is tailored to the individual. Depending on what they know, their age, and their ability to learn and retain new information. Based on that information I will create a program that the student (parents of student) and I will agree upon. Immediately after the agreement we will implement said agreement. All steps taken will create the desired results. However, students have got to be committed to those regimens to see results. Read More

I enjoy teaching students of all ages, from all walks of life, background, cultures, and I have a passion for the community. I also work with the Autistic, ADHD, and Disability community. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Read More

It's all about having a clear goal in mind and working towards it: we'll have conversations about objectives and musical preferences (classical? jazz? rock and pop?) and then develop goals based on those preferences (playing live? what kind of pieces/songs?). Once I have an idea of where the student wants to be, I share my lesson plans with them and tell them what particular exercises or songs/pieces will fit those goals. Read More

Instruments: Piano Bass Guitar Synthesizer
For beginner kids, I typically use the Liela Fletcher Lesson Book series. I find that my students usually progress faster with this series. For teens and adult beginners, I use the James Bastien "Older Beginner Series or John Thompson series to get them started. After basic fundamentals have been I established then I direct the lessons in the area of the student's interest. Sometimes I am able to do this while the student is learning the fundamentals.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
First, they need the support and supervision of the parents or child care workers. It is especially great if parents sing or play a flute, for instance, along with the student's piano.
For students who have moved into playing with both hands, I point out how unique it is that the piano can accompany itself. I advise them to practice each hand separately and then to slowly put both hands together. The are usually amazed that they can do it. One student came up with the idea that "Amazing Grace" is the way to signal to me that his lesson has ended and it also signals to his household when his practice time has ended. They love the song so I explained the story about John Newton's and why he wrote it. Music lessons can become teaching opportunities in many ways. When he plays it to at practice, his mom knows she can put supper on the table.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
It can be hard to tell if a child is ready to start lessons until you actually sit down with him or her child and make them realize they have to pay attention and engage as instructed. Although a teacher wants to make learning anything fun at first, the child needs to accept that it isn't just a play date with music thrown in. How soon they can focus and sit still for 30 minutes varies. I am willing to try it at age 4, but it usually doesn't work. I don't have a minimum age requirement, but it progresses works best if they have started school and can read at least a little.
When will I start to see results?
You will start to see results when a student can look at the simplified, large size notes on paper and know how to play the song as written. I usually give them a paper keyboard to line up where the keys meet the backboard and learn to match "a" on the printed music with playing the "a" key. It is a shift, but I compare it to learning the alphabet, then making words, then sentences. It requires a connection and we usually start with something they already know, such as "Twinkle, Twinkle little star" or another childhood song. Sometimes I get a younger sibling to sing along with the older child playing. I've found students like to "teach", too.
