Instruments: Piano Voice Drums Latin Percussion Keyboard Djembe
There are many books on drums and piano or voice. I have to get to know the student to determine what I will use to get better results. It will depend on their age and attitude and initial talent. Also, a lot of kids are busy at school and don't have much time for practice. It means I need to get a lot done during the actual lesson and make sure that the info I m giving is settling in and there are no gray areas and questions of what to do until next lesson. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
Witnessing a student's blossoming passion for music is truly a remarkable experience, and it forms the core of my teaching philosophy. I firmly believe that each student is on a unique musical journey, and it's paramount to nurture their individual progress. To achieve this, I adopt an approach centered on setting attainable milestones for every student during our lessons. These milestones serve as guideposts, allowing students to measure their advancement and celebrate their achievements along the way. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Recorder French Horn
For brass instrumental students, I generally use the Rubank Method books, focusing on care of the instrument and basic fundamentals. For piano students I use a variety of different method books and am not tied down to any one series. We will also work on scales and the Hannon series For vocal students, I use a series of vocalises, scales and other exercises to strengthen the voice. We will then work on repetroire focusing on what the student would sing at a recital performance. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums
I like to see where the student is at level wise and take it from there. Example : if the student has never played before, we will start with how to hold the sticks. If there at level three but haven't touched 16th note triplets and go from there. If there trying to play Rush 2112 but are having trouble with certain parts - we will dissect it and concentrate on problem areas. Read More

They must also be allowed to be creative, explore and experiment with new ideas, as well as make and learn from their mistakes. With higher cognitive applications, students must be able to learn how to solve and overcome problem tasks, as well as apply critical thinking and supported with justified solutions. The end product of successful teaching is when the learner or student is able to utilize and apply the fundamentals of what have been taught to higher levels of learning, while achieving their maximum and fullest potential lifelong learning goals.

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!
