Instruments: Piano Voice
I am a very fun, patient, and outgoing teacher. I love working with all ages! I teach in the Denver and Parker area.I got my Bachelor of Arts in Music Education from Vanguard University and then my masters in Vocal performance from Colorado State University. I have a 7 year old son and live in Parker. I love performing in the area once in awhile. Music has been my passion as a little girl. Read More
Instruments: Piano
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing my students develop a passion for music and enjoying the music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Synthesizer Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I love the many facets of music. My love of music, and my best practice, stems from a deep enjoyment of listening to music, as a consumer of sound. Developing my listening ear has been the most useful tool in all my years as a performer. I've played with academic ensembles in a choral setting, and done significant work in small ensemble classical guitar groupings. My most enjoyable long term academic ensemble, however, was the African Hand Percussion Ensemble, as while it had a very strict underlying structure for the cohesion of the group, it was deeply improvisational in nature, my favorite aspect of musical performance.

Instruments: Piano Flute Piccolo Keyboard
For Beginners, I focus on music theory and the most important steps of caring for your flute. Then we branch into tone, technique, and rhythm. For my intermediate students, we start by using Taffanel and Gaubert Grand Exercises for technique. I also require my students to have Trevor Wye books for tone and technique. These will be a staple in the practice room and throughout your studies with the flute. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
In my piano classes I use the Bastien piano method beginning at the primer level for the children. If they have had previous lessons, I am more than willing to continue with their current method. For adult piano students I use the Older Beginner Piano Course by Bastien. Again, if they wish to continue with previously studied materials, I am more than happy to comply with that. For voice students, the music is geared to the individual. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I believe in the power of music learning as a personally empowering experience of creativity, and also as a beneficial support for the human brain at any age. I don't believe in pushing students beyond their ambition--my expectations are contextualized to authentically meaningful aspirations of each student. For the rare student who has serious professional ambition, I will absolutely push them to achieve the highest level of performance ability. For a student prepping for an audition, I will guide them based on my experience as both a prospective student and as a professor who has run hundreds of auditions. Read More

I'm a graduate of The University of Nevada Las Vegas where I earned my Master of Music degree in Jazz Studies and Drum Set. During my studies at UNLV, I traveled to Australia to perform at the Adelaide Fringe Festival (February 2009). I also held the college marketing representative position in Las Vegas for Warner Music Group. I hold a B.A. in Percussion Performance from Kutztown University of Pennsylvania. During my studies at Kutztown, I had the opportunity to perform at the Paris Conservatory for the Perkumania Percussion Festival (November 2006); Read More
Instruments: Guitar Electric Guitar
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice shouldn't feel like mindless work; Practice should be INTENTIONAL! How can your grow today? What should you work on today to be a better guitar player next week? Next month? Next year? Additionally, I try to learn a new song, lick, or concept every day to keep my practice sessions fresh and exciting.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Any time is a good time, especially if your child is showing interest in music.
When will I start to see results?
Results will vary between students. Each student has unique personality as well as a unique level of interest in guitar. Students that are truly enjoying playing the instrument should expect results much quicker than students that are only somewhat interested.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I did not have a direct teacher that inspired me to pursue music. In general, I had always known that I wanted to pursue music professionally. Ultimately, I was inspired to choose it as a career after reading about various celebrities/athletes that had given their all to pursue their passions.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I simply love guitar! I've always been a fan of classic rock! I am a huge Slash/Guns N Roses fan.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
This year alone (my first year pursuing music as a career), I've played 84 gigs, including:
-Opening for national country artists like Brantley Gilbert and Billy Ray Cyrus
-Weddings, private business events, festivals
-B93 Birthday Bash
-Brantley Gilbert's Kick It In The Sticks cruise ship
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Creating a successful practice routine. There are so many techniques on guitar and a million different videos on YouTube telling you what your "should" be practicing. The reality is that you start by practicing what you are interested in. Things such as scale shapes and new chords are practical tools that should AID you in your practice routine, but shouldn't be the base of your routine. Running scales for 3 straight hours may improve your dexterity with scales, but will not teach you the practical skills for playing within a band setting.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I generally practice for 3 hours a day, breaking it into 3 portions: New Material, Improving Material, Songs. I'll spend my first hour learning licks or a new song. For me, this is a great way to warm up and get excited for practicing. The next hour, I'll work on difficult solos/passages. I typically won't spend more than 10 minutes working on one specific solo/passage. Finally, I'll spend an hour running some of the songs from my setlists. I have about 60 songs between each band that I try to keep "in-shape" for weekly live performances.
