Instruments: Piano Trombone Euphonium Tuba Keyboard
With my wind instrument and percussion students, I like to start with a method book. My favorites include Essential Elements and Standard of Excellence. I find that, especially for younger students, this is a great way to introduce beginner theory while learning to apply it to their playing. I spend a great deal of time discussing the importance of breath and practicing breathing gym exercises. My piano method book of choice varies depending on the skill level of the student. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
At my studio, I emphasize the importance of committment, determination, and excellence because not only do those apply to music in regards to practice, performance, and continual growth, but also to life's princinples. My students are encouraged to perform at recitals, enter competitions, compose their own material, and listen to other music they are interested in playing, that way they stay motivated to learn. Last, I like to reward students for their accomplishments and their progress in their musical journey to success. Read More

I attended college at Houston Baptist University where I received a full scholarship to study music. Once I graduated I was immediately hired to do a national tour which was followed by 5 others. I perform on Broadway also. I was in 22 performances at Theater Under the Stars in Houston. Read More

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Most recently, I've been challenging myself as a musician by playing the cello (not my primary or secondary instrument!) and singing (also not my primary or secondary!) at the same time! I'm proud of every moment I feel myself grow as a musician or surprise myself with what can be accomplished with a bit of practice.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My sister is a soprano who also plays the ukulele and viola. She teaches music at an elementary school in Augusta, Georgia. Her husband is a trumpeter who occasionally picks up the guitar as well. They both hold music degrees.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
Any time I pick up a new instrument it starts out as mostly necessity, but quickly becomes pure joy. My string quartet back in high school needed a violist, so I picked that up so we could compete in the Solo/Ensemble Festival. I enjoyed it so much I became the violist for the string quartet at my university. After college, I got a job as a chorus teacher, so I got much more adept at singing. I later landed an orchestra director position and we had few cellists, so I drilled my cello chops so I could recruit some. A few years back, a friend insisted that because I'm a musician (violinist,etc) I could teach her son the piano; I've now been teaching piano now for over three years to a dozen students. My favorite to play now is the cello, even though I still consider my primary instrument - and first love! - to be the violin.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I chose my Bachelor of Music in Music Education because I valued the well-rounded program of study it offered.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would most likely be teaching something, even if it weren't music; history or language arts. I might be a writer or a visual artist. I definitely would not be a mathematician ;)
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I adore so many different styles, but my duet is where I flex my creative muscles. Between the two of us, we play the violin, viola, cello, piano, guitar, bass, ukulele, and we both sing. Arranging rock music for any combination of those instruments has become a passion. I feel like a Rockstar when I'm belting out lyrics while holding down a bassline on the cello!
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
For new Violin, Viola, and Cello students I prefer the Essential Elements books. They offer a quick introduction to the instrument and solid exercises throughout. I've seen many students off to a great start in building their technique using them!
