Instruments: Piano Cello Music
For beginners, introductory lesson books are very helpful for teaching the fundamentals of reading and playing music. I take a split approach with students working on basics such as scales/arpeggios along with repertoire so students can develop multiple skills at one time. I approach technique for both cello and piano as the art of releasing tension in the body while achieving the desired sound of the instrument. The goal is to play efficiently and relaxed, as this is the most productive and safe way to make music. Read More

I have been a band director for several years teaching elementary, middle school and high school students. I have taught beginner and intermediate group piano and private piano lessons for 7 years. I have taught private brass lessons of a wide range of ages and abilities since 2008. I have taught ages of elementary school through adult. I have found that fundamentals are the key to success at every age. Through quickly identifying strengths and weaknesses, and catering to ambitions and desires, my students experience a fun and inspirational learning environment. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Euphonium Music Keyboard
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by engaging students in conversations about realistic and individual growth goals. 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
I typically start beginners with the Teaching Little Fingers to play books. After going through the books at whatever rate the student needs to retain information, I will move on to solo repertoire pieces that align with the students' interests and tastes. I remember my piano teacher when I was a child bringing over several books for me to choose from, and it was the most exciting thing. I do the same with my students, so that the learning stays fun and students get to reap the rewards of their hard work throughout the process. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Trumpet Trombone Bass Guitar Recorder Euphonium French Horn Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
I am a teacher who looks to make music both fun and rewarding. As well as teaching the student how to make beautiful music, I also try and tie in our lessons as a way to becoming a better citizen. The habits that we form as a musicians will help us as individuals. Things like setting and working towards goals, tracking and monitoring progress, and educating ourselves beyond the lesson room are all things that will serve my students as individuals, no matter what discipline or situation that they will find themselves in down the road.

Instruments: Piano Voice
My teaching style is fun, focused, and efficient. I like to keep the environment positive and encouraging, as that is what helps a student progress the most! When a student first starts lessons, we establish a few goals to accomplish over the semester, such as "become more confident" or, "learn a foreign language piece". With these in mind, I will teach the lessons, pick warm ups, and select repertoire (with the student) accordingly! Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
I am an experienced, energetic teacher interested in meeting students at their level, learning about their goals and interests, and tailoring a lesson program that will challenge and excite them in the right ways. I have been teaching piano and voice since graduating from Northwestern University, and I've also worked as a music director and consultant on multiple professional productions in Chicago. As a piano teacher, I have successfully taught students just starting out through those at the intermediate to advanced level. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I started on piano and only moved to voice when I was in high school. I love both of them, but I love most the voice because if its ability to communicate using words.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Several of my past students have won state and regional awards in Oklahoma, Georgia, and Texoma National Association of Teachers of Singing competitions. Other students have won national opera and art song awards and are now singing professionally. I am equally as proud of my students who have graduated with music education degrees and who are now teaching in TX, OK, and GA.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My mom was the person who first started teaching me piano and gave me my initial love of music and singing. I then joined choir in high school, where my choir teacher eventually persuaded me to take voice lessons! Both my mom and my choir teacher inspired me because they saw my potential even when I sang out of tune and didn’t work hard. They inspired me to do better and to go out on a limb and try. And I found that I loved it when I got there.
When will I start to see results?
The voice is comprised of many muscles, and like all the other muscles of the human body, it takes time for the vocal muscles to grow and strengthen. Patience is key! However, it is possible to often see almost immediate results from better breathing, focused practice, and figuring out how to relax and release the voice to be free and resonant like it should be.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Anyone can learn to sing. My kids started matching pitch and singing along to songs when they were a very young age! However, for the youngest students, lessons are obviously going to be shorter than with my adult students, who can easily concentrate for an hour of hard work.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Effective practice is one of THE best ways you’re going to improve. I practice more effectively when I have goals, both long-term and short-term. An example from my own experience is how I recently learned a song. I had the long-term goal of learning it, polishing it, and performing it in a public setting. I broke that into achievable short-term goals for each day. These short-term goals helped me reach my long-term goals in time to give an excellent and effective performance.
Effective practice also means you practice smart. No one would go to the gym one time a month but spend ten hours there! The same is also true for singing. Even ten-fifteen minutes daily is going to be more helpful than eight hours cramming the day before your next lesson.
