Instruments: Piano
My teaching experience dates back to when I was in middle school, and I taught my neighbor's kids. Since then, I have had several piano students. I have also worked for a school district as a Substitute Teacher where I had the opportunity to teach a variety of subjects and work with a multitude of students. I would like to expand on my private teaching experience, as teaching and playing piano have always come naturally to me. Read More

Each student learns at their own pace, therefore goals are set individually for each student. Students need to have a passion for learning music, therefore I try to create a fun, patient environment in order for children to learn. I believe in setting goals and acknowledging when an accomplishment is made to reinforce the desire to learn. Regular practice is encouraged and incentivized if needed because practice is a necessary habit in learning and furthering development. Read More

My methods for new students is to find out exactly what level they are at and accomidate. I have a collection of different books for children and for older students we can dive right in to a certain style. I do believe that every musician should have a stong understanding of the foundations. With a stong theory background I can push students to where they want to go. Read More

I began teaching private students in high school, and have been consistently teaching students in my studio for the past five years. Many of my students have gone on to be very successful in youth orchestras, school programs, and music conservatories. During my senior year at university, I had the opportunity to serve as a faculty member for my university's pre-college music program. In this role, I represented the university by providing musical instruction to young upper string students. Read More

For beginner students who are children, I usually start with the Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has advanced to where I can see that they have a good grasp of the fundamentals of the instrument, that is typically when I begin to introduce solo repertoire and supplement with my own material. For adult beginners, I typically will try and use the Essential Elements book to start with but not for very long. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
There is an old saying, "practice makes perfect." This isn't exactly true. If you practice in the wrong way, improvement can be very slow, or sometime reinforce bad habits. That is why having an instructor is so important. Conscious, planned practice is what makes perfect. You have to know which techniques you are practicing, and what to listen for in order to make sure that you are doing it right.
Another important thing to remember is not to overdo it. The voice is a delicate instrument, and it is easy to damage. 30 minutes a day practicing is plenty. The main thing is that you practice consistently. Without regular maintenance, good habits can break while bad ones creep back in.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Whether it's singing along with one of the middle vocal parts in Toto's "Africa," or singing Bass in a barbershop quartet, I always think it is so much fun to make harmonies. That is why I've been in so many choirs and small ensembles throughout my experience as a musician, and why my Ph.D dissertation is all about studying harmony.
Singing has also been a great help to my personal life. Improving your singing voice can be a very personal journey. There is no hiding faults, and no way to shift the blame to something else. But having the confidence to get up and sing in front of a crowd of people is a great skill to have. If you can sing in front of people, you will find that giving presentations at work, networking, and meeting new people all tend to come much easier.
When will I start to see results?
You can start seeing results immediately! Of course, there are some things that require more attention that others. Some bad habits are less noticeable and harder to break than others. But for other things, the difference can be like flipping a switch! There are a lot of things about singing well that are easy to understand. The problem is often that, unless someone points out what you're doing wrong, you can go your whole life without really noticing what it is. You might be able to listen to a recording of yourself and know that something is off, but figuring out what it is and how to fix it is a whole other issue. That is where getting a trained teacher can be so valuable.
