Instruments: Piano Drums Keyboard
I am a passionate and motivated teacher who loves working with students of all ages and share my love of music. I have been a musician for 20 years. I have played in concert orchestras, churches, and local venues. I have been a Worship Pastor or Music Director for over 10 years. My goal is to help everyone understand and enjoy the power of music. I help students learn to play by ear, understand music theory, and coach them into finding their own sound. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I have been teaching piano lessons to beginner students to adult students in my home for six years now. Most of my students have been children ages six to thirteen; however, I have also taught adult students as well. I am also willing to travel to the student's home with in my area of Rolling Meadows, Schaumburg, Palatine, Arlington Heights, Mt. Prospect, Des Plaines and Elk Grove Village. Combining the songs in the lesson book with popular songs, along with scales helps the student to have more fun learning to play the piano. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar
Fun, energetic and productive! My students always say that they leave their lessons with a burst of inspiration. I love to teach my students the basic tools of what it takes to be a professional musician, whether or not they are into music as a hobby or as a serious profession. I currently play drums for the hit Broadway musical (non-union version) of Rock of Ages and when I'm not on the road; Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Flute
My approach to teaching is very "person-centered"- in that I will adapt to the needs of the student. I do not have one stuanch approach in teaching music. I want to help students engage early on in "Music Experiences"- not just learning scales, but truly playing music with me, improvising, and enjoying themsevles. This sort of music work really formsm the bedrock of my music lesson and music therapy practice. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Drums Keyboard
I teach both by rote and by reading. When it comes to music theory, notation and reading music, I am also methodical in wanting my students to fully understand what they're reading so that it becomes so natural to them, it's as natural as reading a newspaper or understanding a conversation. Once the foundation is laid, a musical conversation can be had with the sound of their instrument. At the end of the process, students will find their love of music enhanced now that they know what they are doing and are doing it on purpose. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Viola Music Keyboard
I am a singer-songwriter, music educator, and actress from Chicago! I have always incorporated music into my life. My parents put me into violin and piano lessons when I was only four years old! When I was about twelve, I began to do musical theatre and then joined the award-winning group Musicality in high school. Throughout my time at Musicality, I grew from alternate, to member, to staff member, to associate director, and now to producer. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Viola Saxophone
Every student is unique. Therefore, a student's learning process should complement that uniqueness. I like to take time to figure out exactly what "speaks" to a student. What really works for some is completely lost on others. I tailor my instruction to their wants and needs, and take close note of the activities to which they respond well. In doing so, the student meets their goals in a quicker and more enjoyable way. 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.
