As a strong believer of the KIPP mission and vision, I work hard to instill the truths spoken to me behind the process of getting to and through college, constantly reminded by the words of Marianne Williamson that “our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond measure.” There are 2 things that I believe in regards to education: 1) All students can/will learn. 2) It is not whether or not you are smart, but rather HOW you are smart, citing Gardner's Theory of Intelligence.

I enjoy seeing my students be successful. I am very accommodating to the variety of learning styles out their so I am very flexible in my teaching styles. The style that best suites the student is essential for success. Some students are visual learners, some need more activity or rewards for motivation. These are all avenues that I have available to make sure you are successful to achieve all your musical goals. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Faber Piano Adventures. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire. For adults, I start with the Faber Adult Series as well as find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. My teaching philosophy is to focus on listening first, which helps students learn to read music more effectively. 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!
