Having had the experience of putting in a lot of practice during the week, only to be too tense and nervous during my lesson to play well, I try to make my lessons a place where students can feel calm and relaxed. Read More

Instruments: Piano

I am a driven and passionate instructor who focuses on students' artistic and personal growth as musicians. I began my musical journey as a singer, moving towards piano and guitar throughout my formative years. In high school, I performed as a choral singer, musical theatre artist, and as a pianist for both jazz groups and worship settings. While an undergraduate student at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities, I studied tenor voice with renowned operatist John De Haan and piano performance with Jamaican pianist Paul Shaw.

Instruments: Piano
I love to see my students accomplish their goals. Therefore I always assign a piece easily within their reach. However, I believe it is important to have higher goals. In keeping with that, once the student is at an appropriate level, I assign a piece that will take a bit more work to master. I find that this motivates most of my students to really shine and to see the rewards of consistent and effective practice. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Synthesizer Keyboard
I started learning piano as a child, but it was in high school that I realized I really wanted to pursue playing keyboards, because it allowed me a way to express myself. I later attended Mt. Hood Community College, famous for its jazz program, where I played keyboards and sang in select choirs and vocal jazz groups. After graduating, I directed the college Gospel Ensemble for two years before working full-time at a large local church, where I was Music Director, a worship leader, and keyboardist. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet
Friendly and encouraging interaction with students makes for a pleasant experience and allows students to achieve their potential. Lessons are an opportunity to explore creative expression through music. The fundamentals of music are the tools for creative expression. Creative expression is encouraged even in the beginner's first lesson. I like to explore music from the basic structure of the symbols used and how the sounds are grouped to the more complex.

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream piece to perform would probably be Schumann's work called Kinderszenen, which includes 13 pieces Schumann composed all inspired by his childhood in one piece. It has the most beautiful and unique music theory and harmony with so much expression and rubato. I only hope to one day play it as good as some world class pianists
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love trap/pop music. Trap is the go to groove today and it has so many good vibes in it. Trap is so fun to dance to and it is. mainstream.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started to play the trumpet because I thought it was such a cool instrument, and so much different from the piano. I wanted to go outside of my comfort zone, it all trained me so much as a singer and taught me about breathing and circular breathing.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My father is so gifted with music and he plays by ear. He is an insane guitarist and can play pretty much anything. He really inspired my to pursue my musical endeavors
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I decided to become a professional musician the minute I entered a summer intensive program when I was 15 years old. I knew from that moment, that there was nothing else I wanted to do with my life.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I wasn't a musician, I would probably have to say I would want to open up my own bakery. In my free time, I love to bake homemade dessert and love to watch culinary arts
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I really recommend Faber and Alfred to Beginner and Intermediate students. Faber has a very great structure in their materials especially from Primer to Levels 1-4B. It organizes both music theory and music expression in a great and fun way or students. For teenagers and adults looking for advanced material, I highly recommend using Hanon, Bastion, Schirmer's library of Chopin, Beethoven, or any other composers they want to study.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session is asking the student how their week has been, what they would like to warm up with, I typically review any music theory or material we went through the previous week, and move on to new music as they are more comfortable and building up sight reading skills, For little ones, and students in beginner, I incorporate lots of games and activities to make music lessons fun.
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 a music degree in Songwriting and Composition because it is what I am most passionate about. Ever since 7, I have written my own music and wrote songs as a vocalist and pianist. My classical training has allowed me to have the knowledge to compose creative and inspiring music of multi genres.
