Instruments: Piano Flute
Every time I meet for lesson with student(s), I prepare handouts and copies of pieces. The handouts are usully about warm-up routines (excercises of tone, fingering techniques, tonging excercises, vibrato and so on). It depens on the level of the students. If a student needs to buy new music(piece), I recommend to purchase and give information (title, composer, website, and price) Read More

With beginners (children and adults alike) I like to start with the Faber and Faber Piano Adventures method books. I tailor each student's learning experience, creating an individual path to success. I stress the fundamentals of music (learning to read music, proper physical technique, etc.) in an engaging and fun manner. Read More

I have over 5 years of teaching experience working with a variety of communities and age groups internationally and locally. This has allowed me the flexibility to truly cater my teaching style to the needs of each and every student, and be culturally competent realizing that every student learns differently and has different needs. I have conducted a children's choir as well and have played music professionally for over 15 years. I also am an actress where I have acted in a variety of films and theater projects across the city.

Instruments: Piano Guitar
I have been teaching professionally since graduating from Capital University in 2009, and have had the pleasure of teaching individuals of all ages and interests. I've developed a lesson plan centered around building a complete musician, not just a guitarist. Integral to that plan is the development of reading, writing, and improvisational skills. I also like to focus on each students' own musical interests, studying music that they're interested in, as well as what I think is important for everyone to learn. Read More
Instruments: Piano Organ Keyboard
I began playing in churches when I was about13. Shortly after that, I became a full-time organist and choral accompanist. I have also directed choirs. My background was mostly concentrated on classical repertoire, but I am able to teach many different styles. After graduating from WSU, I taught for one year in the public school system, but decided it wasn't for me. I enjoy the 1-1 dynamic of private lessons much more. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Flute Keyboard
Fundamentals are key. For all ages and all instruments, you will be working on scales, chord progressions, transposition and reading of music for piano; scales, lip slurs, technical etudes, long tones, transposition and reading of music for trumpet; and scales, slurs, technical studies, transposition and reading of music for flute. For all instruments, there will be one key book that will cover everything you need to know. If you work with me on a longer term, getting the book would not be a bad idea so you can practice at home, although it is not required by me. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
First off, don't hurry through it! Make sure you set aside enough time to relax and focus on the material. This should be in a distraction free and well lit area. It's best if you can find a place to be alone, although i know that is sometimes a challenge. You also need to learn practice techniques that will help you tackle difficult sections and keep you from getting frustrated. In piano, this could be practicing with hands apart, slowing down the tempo or writing in some of the more difficult notes. Lastly, always have a pencil ready! There is nothing wrong with writing in some reminders in the music!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
This of course is different with every student. In regards to the piano, I ask that the minimum age be 5 years old. This will ensure the child's dexterity is developed enough to be able to place his or her hands on the keyboard effectively. Attention span is also a key component as well and will affect the child's development with the instrument. Sometimes if a child has trouble sitting still for 30 minutes, you may want to consider waiting a year or two until the child develops a little further. I of course have learned this seeing that I often had trouble sitting still at that age! ;)
When will I start to see results?
You should began to see growth after the first month. Sometimes sooner depending on the student's age and readiness. My goal to have the student learn something new every week and be able to demonstrate it back to me the following week. This could be a new song, scale, concept or technique. In that sense, each child should be showing results after each lesson. I cannot stress the importance of the student practicing during the week. This will really make the difference between seeing growth and not seeing it.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My high school choir teacher was awesome! She was so passionate and committed to teaching music that it greatly inspired me to make it my passion as well. She was firm and tough and taught me the value and of course the payoff of hard work and practice. She was also an accomplished keyboardist and I always wanted to play like her. I believe that it was her love of music that allowed me to make it though my degree in college, getting through the tough times and discouragement. It helped me keep my eye on the prize and accomplish my dreams!
