Instruments: Piano Organ Keyboard
I have fairly casual lessons. I want my students to have fun while still making meaningful progress. I don't turn pages just to turn pages. If there is confusion on a song, we review it for a few weeks. I also like for parents to take a hands-off approach. I feel it is not their job to teach their children piano, and what they say may confilct with what I say. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
Bastien Books are my favorite piano books to teach out of. But, Others are good as well. (Piano adventures, Alfred, Faber and Faber, ect) For piano we always do Theory , Technic, and go through a song book which will take you gradually through the levels and correspond the Theory and technique lessons. For Voice, We focus on Breathing, Warmups and I teach in the style that suits the student. Each student has their individual track. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Flute Music
I teach through positive reinforcement and encouragement with a set structure that allows for discipline and certain benchmarks that can determine success and mastery of certain skills. I truly believe that when students are nurtured and given a comfortable space they will excel as creating music and art is vulnerable and requires the student to let go. This cannot happen unless the teacher facilitates an environment and space for organic innovation by the student. Read More

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!
