Instruments: Piano Drums
Although I have taken several college classes in music -- everything from music theory to Garage Band (music software) -- most of my education as a musician, and as a music teacher, has come from real-life musicians! I've personally grown up with many excellent piano players, drummers and singers, so I've been taught by the best. My first love was piano, and currently I sing and play the drums in my church choir.

Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
I began teaching voice as a school project when I was 14 years old and realized that I I loved it! From then on, I always kept my hand in teaching throughout my high school and college years. I started teaching full time, at which point I added piano and speaking to my repertoire. I have experience as a performing singer, session musician and actor and I I love helping my students get the most out their lessons, whether they simply want to learn their instrument to the best of their ability, or learn more about writing music and the industry.

Instruments: Piano Voice
I also continued leadership roles in college, including section leader, choral officer, assistant conductor, and director of two choral ensembles. My professors also noticed my aptitude for pedagogy and have guided me throughout these positions with a very student-centered mind. I am just out of college, so I am young but I'm full of fresh ideas, experience, and a continued passion for learning and performing that I can share with my students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I know of the importance and rewards of a good music education. Playing a musical instrument can give a student much self confidence, relaxation and enjoyment. It is rewarding for me to work towards that goal for every student that I have the privilege of teaching. I share my positive musical experiences with my students so that they will continue to explore and appreciate performing and also listening to music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Cello Drums Bass Guitar Synthesizer Music Keyboard
I have taught piano for nearly a decade. As I was growing up, my mother taught piano in our house and I started learning at five years old. When I was twelve, I took on my first student, who was about four years old at the time. Since then, I have taught in a variety of settings, from double teaming pairs of students with my mother to teaching cello, piano, drums, and basic music skills online to students living in Haiti, France, and across the United States!

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Bass Guitar
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I learned flute and some clarinet because they are useful doubles in the world of saxophone playing.
Bass is my true love because it allows the sound of the band to come together. Getting the privilege of playing the part that allows the band to sound as one is always inspiring.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I got my degree in Performance because it allows you to learn all of the above. You should know the history of your instrument and genre, the theory of what is being performed, and you should compose if you want to be a performer that speaks eloquently and honestly.,
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
When I have a clear head I work on tone, then scales (technique), time (scales to a metronome) and repertoire. I let myself get creative in repertoire by changing up styles, songs, tempos, etc. I practice each section as long as I can be effective (I don't believe in putting time limits on what I do). If I'm having a rough day, I'll just play whatever I want as it comes to me. It keeps me from getting discouraged and still allows me to play/ practice.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master is technique. Creating efficient technique that will allow you to perform what you hear or want to play is the biggest learning curve for any instrument.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I found my Dad's saxophone at my grandparents and kept trying to make sound out of it until my parents decided it was time for lessons so they didn't have to listen to me squeaking throughout the house. It stuck from there.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I'm most proud of the different bands I'm in currently. It has allowed me to adapt to all different kinds of genres and see how they connect.
It's important to listen to ALL kinds of music and gather your own opinions and interests. That's when good music starts to be made.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
The teacher that inspired me the most was the one that talked about music like it was apart of life. There was no difference between playing and breathing to him. It was just something that lived inside everyone and it was up to you to decide how it fits into your life.
When will I start to see results?
Results will show fairly frequently in the beginning because they are learning so many new ideas and techniques playing an instrument requires. As time goes on results will show by the amount of effort each student puts in. The more they think, listen, and play music, the quicker they will improve.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Any child that shows an interest in music or playing is ready.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing is not about sitting down for hours everyday. I suggest practicing once a day for as long as you can be effective. Whether that is 5 minutes or 2 hours, our brains will retain information better through consistency, not quantity.
