Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet
I graduated from the University of Northern Colorado in May 2013 with a degree in jazz studies. While at UNC I studied jazz music as well as classical music. I'm very excited about teaching beginning and intermediate improvisers my own systematic approach to jazz improvisation. I'm also excited about teaching saxophone technique to beginning and intermediate saxophonists. I also teach beginning piano. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute Piccolo
Fortunately, music has been the central part of my life since I began lessons. Early on I knew I wanted to be a professional, and practiced to be able to study at some of the best music institutions in this country. My first formal training took place at the Interlochen Center for the Arts. Oberlin College, the Aspen Music Festival, Peabody Conservatory of Johns Hopkins University and Carnegie Hall followed.

Instruments: Piano Violin
I love hearing a student improve in their music. I love not only hearing them play but seeing them grow as a person. Music is an incredible powerful gift that can be used in so many different ways. I believe in learning a musical instrument students can be benefited as a person by learning self discipline/patience/perseverance. It's a great way to set goals and see goals met. There is no way for learning an instrument to be a quick process but little by little it can progress to a great accomplishment. 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
Instruments: Piano
For the past 30 years, I have been teaching students of all ages in my home and in their homes. I have had funny twin boys, serious adults who don't really care much for theory and teenage girls. I even was lucky enough to have as a student a young lady who was crowned Miss Colorado. When I began teaching, students always came to my home. There was a time I was teaching 50 students and had to have two separate recitals-it was great! Read More

I blend the tried-and-true poise of classical technique with holistic approaches to satisfy two purposes: 1) the traditional desire to hone skill with practice and discipline, and 2) the psychological development of the student's independent musicianship. Music without expression is only sport. While technique, exercise, rigor, and history are essential in order to develop the deepest possible understanding of music, I aim to go beyond this to shape the independent expressionism of each student.

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.
