Instruments: Piano Flute Ukulele Recorder Piccolo
I began teaching private flute lessons while in college in Ohio, and really expanded my individual lesson techniques while living in Phoenix. In addition to teaching large groups of flute beginners and intermediate students within the band setting at a public elementary school, I also excel in teaching beginners individeually at whatever age. My favorite part of teaching is seeing the "spark" in a student's eyes when understanding is reached, and they can do something they were struggling with before. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Keyboard Electric Guitar Djembe Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I believe music instruction should be thrilling and rewarding, and leave the student eager to play more! Maintaining the smile that comes from the joy of expanding skills and creating a unique world of sound is my calling, and I believe every student deserves the chance to experience that. Music can be used to develop social skills and expand self-awareness, as well as two stimulate both right and left brain thinking. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I have had the pleasure of working with my students on several genres including spirituals, sacred songs, classical, popular music and some show tunes. Some of my students are dancers and want to be fully prepared for auditions by exhibiting vocal and instrumental skills. My students understand that they are in a constant state of learning, as there are always new things to learn vocally and instrumentally. This understanding fuels their passion and makes teaching and learning a pleasure. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums Keyboard
Music has and is still a huge part of my life. It's one of two things that I feel is worth pursuing no matter the cost. I started my musical journey at the age of 8 playing drums. By the age of 16 I started playing piano/keyboard in church and learned by ear. At Marquette University and The Institute of Production and Recording I earned A's in all my music theory classes.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
My approach to teaching comes from my absolute love and obsession with music -- nothing makes me happier than to see my students happy and growing as musicians, because I truly believe that more authentic musicians makes a better world. I understand that each student learns at his or her own pace, so I never push hard or over-challenge, but rather encourage their process by acknowledging accomplishments and constantly refreshing their inspiration and ensuring that they are having fun with the process!

Instruments: Piano
It is important for my students to realize that music can be fun, but it is also a discipline. Repetition and mastery of the fundamentals is necessary and at times can be frustrating, no matter how advanced you are. Be patient with the process and with yourself. Once you gain the fundamentals, your soul gets to dance! Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music. Read More
Instruments: Piano
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.
