Once an adequate amount of fundamental material has been grasped, I like to have the student select songs or pieces that they already know of and learn to play simple translations of them that I will prepare. For intermediate students: heavy rigor with more complicated exercise in the form of etudes (piano), vocal runs (voice), and picking exercises (bass/guitar) is encouraged, with an introduction to more complicated music theory and harmony.

Instruments: Piano
My teaching style is dependent on the particular student. For all students, I work to not over assign pieces. There is so much to learn in music, it can be tempting to try to teach concepts too quickly. However, an organized, logical approach that introduces one concept at a time works best. The best music theory teacher I have had was organized and was able to stick to teaching one concept at a time, with sequential lessons building on the information from the previous lesson. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
Voice- Depending on how long the lesson is we work on vocal warmups then work on a song. In a 30 min lesson we do vocal warmups for 10 minutes then work on a song fir 20 minutes.Learning the proper vocal technique. Piano-Go through lesson book and other performance books also work on theory if the child is younger and has a short attention span. I love teaching all ages and all styles of music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
I love music and love creating music experiences with others. I was in the I violin section in the Fairbanks Symphony orchestra the last few years. I received my Suzuki Teacher Certification for Violin books 1-6 in 2018. I received my Bachelors of Arts in Violin Performance in May of 2016. I've had much experience playing in an orchestra and being a part of string ensembles. I was concertmaster of the Moore County Philharmonic for 2 years. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Synthesizer
I'm a competent, motivated and very patient instructor and teacher of music. I enjoy working with students and share my love of music. During my lessons and sessions, I practice various teacher's techniques. We do many interesting and interacive exercies and activities. We work on the sense of beat, better listening and understanding of music intonations. We learn how to write and read musics. We work on the basics of harmonies and chords. Read More

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a Bachelor's Degree in music performance from Hope College, where I also got a Math degree! I also have a Masters in Music in jazz studies from the University of South Florida. At the time, performing is what I wanted to pursue (with math as a backup in case I wasn't able to support myself, lol), and it is in fact what I do for a living. In hindsight, I might have gotten a teaching certificate as well. I didn't realize how much I'd love teaching until I got into it, and now I'm passionate about it.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I've actually been able to check off quite a few of those boxes since joining the Air Force band 15 years ago:
- 43 states and 13 foreign countries
- playing for 3 U.S. presidents
- Carnegie Hall
- NFL halftime games, MLB 7th-inning stretches, NBA and NHL pre-game shows
- major jazz festivals across the country (e.g. Clearwater, Telluride, Twin Cities, Monterey)
- frequent national and local TV/radio spots
But my "dream" place to perform is for an audience who's attentive and with whom we connect. That can happen at a civic center in Bemidji MN, an orphanage in Djibouti, or a cafeteria/gymnasium in Kazakhstan just as easily as the Kennedy Center.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I love math, so probably something like being an actuary or statistician. Possibly a math teacher, because I really love to teach. In my early 20's, I taught for the regular source of income, but now I realize I really love it. I love the puzzle of helping someone figure something out, I love the light-bulb when they have an epiphany, and I love the "before" and "after" pictures of seeing them progress over time.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Whatever I'm playing at the moment. I know that sounds like a politician's "sitting on the fence" answer, but I really mean it. I'm probably most adept at playing jazz and classical music. But I deployed in 2017 as a keyboardist with the rock band, and I loved it! Whatever the audience is into, that's what I want to give them. When they're really into what I'm playing, there's an energy that I feed off - it's great!
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I try to spend the majority of my time working on "real" music, whether that music is a written piece, something I'm learning by ear, or a jazz tune I'm learning how to improvise over. Scales, long tones, and other exercises are great, but I try to spend no more than 25% of my practice time on them, and I recommend my students do the same. The purpose of the exercises is to help you play music better, so immediate application is key.
