Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Ukulele Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I began teaching lessons in college. Most of my early students were elementary-school aged and novice. There, I learned that regular practice must be encouraged to allow interest to begin to pique and passion begin to form. I firmly believe that hard work and discipline go much further than talent alone. I also firmly believe in fun! My most deeply seeded goal is for my students to develop a life-long love and practice of music! Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Fiddle
For beginners, I typically start students off with the suzuki books to build technique, but I teach them from the classical perspective rather than the suzuki method. With intermediate and advanced students, i will introduce solo repertoire appropriate for recital performance and/or a commercial piece (fiddle tunes, pop songs, etc) that the student is interested in learning. Fiddle is my specialty, but I also teach classical violin and even my fiddle students will learn classical technique. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Flute Piccolo Oboe Music Acoustic Guitar
I am a multi-instrumentalist seeking to share my talents with the world! I graduated from the University of Kentucky in 2016 with a Master of Music degree in Music Therapy and in 2012 graduated from the University of Louisville with a Bachelor of Music in Oboe Performance. I love performing music, teaching music, and providing music therapy services. I have played in oboe recitals, high school musicals, church services, open mic nights, tribute bands, hospitals, nursing homes, and performed at Carnegie Hall. Read More
Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
I am well versed in commercial and jazz styles on keyboard, and I have an array of performance experience. My breathtaking musical scores and thrilling arrangements can be applied to media or live performance. I teach private lessons with an expertly creative approach, training my students in all styles, integrating songwriting, composing, and music technology, and personalizing each lesson to the students interests and needs. In 2021, I graduated from Belmont University with a degree in Commercial Music (Composition and Arranging emphasis). Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I take students into music they're interested in right away if they already know what they like. I love showing students how to work to learn, once they see how work pays off you can't stop them. I have my own Learn To Play Guitar book that I now use as handouts that have vocabulary, open chords, bar chords, inside chords, along with major and relative scales. The handouts are in color and done with a graphics program so they're not handwritten. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Double Bass
I began teaching voice 6 years ago, while still in my own undergraduate studies. Teaching bass and piano quickly followed once I realized how much I enjoyed the teaching side of music. I learned to love music at an early age, which got me into taking lessons, and eventually learning the process that is required to move a student forward. Slow and steady progress in all areas of music is the way I have learned, and is the way that I teach. Read More

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
1. Warmup - Scales (5 min)
2. Practicing hard spots very slowly, hands separate, counting out loud, with a metronome (10 min)
3. Playing all assigned songs and recording them and listening back (10 min)
4. Music Theory Book Assignments (2 min)
5. Playing 1-2 of your favorite songs you've learned so far
This practice routine can be expanded or contracted. It's important to practice in a room with no distractions like tv, people talking, or other music being played. It's also important to practice everyday if you can. Your teacher can tell if you didn't practice very much, but you still need to go to your lesson regardless if you practiced or not. The better prepared you are the more you can learn and move forward.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My degree is in Music Performance because I wanted be able to be a performing artist and studio musician. I'm also a lifelong learner in Music Production, Composition, Business, Marketing. It doesn't stop just after you get your degree. In fact, you really start your "Real World Education" when you start making a living performing, studio work, teaching, managing money, setting goals, developing "People" skills. The thing I love about learning to play the piano is that you have to FOCUS on learning to play for "LONG Periods Of Time". I've spend over 50,000+ hours of practicing the piano, performing, rehearsing, composing, producing, recordings, planning. You have to devote yourself to a lifelong pursuit of playing and development. "TALENT" is developed over "LONG" periods of time without quitting.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream piece is playing music that I'm currently working on. How much do I practice that piece? I practice it until I can literally play it while sleeping or dreaming. When I can play a piece and drift off to sleep and start dreaming, and I can still play the piece on "Auto-Pilot", then I'm playing my "Dream Piece". When you mastered a song to the point that it is effortless, you are playing your "Dream Piece". I have practiced songs so much that I can drift off to dream, or have a conversation with someone, or read a newspaper article and my hands continue to play. That is when I know I've practiced a piece enough.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I weren't a musician, I'd probably be doing something else that I developed an interest and passion for. I think trying different things and activities is a good thing, and pursuing the ones you really really love because anything that you want to become good at requires a lot of time developing that before you start getting paid to do it. At one time in my life, I wanted to be an NBA Basketball player. I used to practice shooting basketball for hours, and then hours lifting weights, and hours doing drills. I loved it, unfortunately I stopped growing when I was in 6th grade, and all my other friends kept growing and getting taller, stronger, and faster.
