Instruments: Piano Trombone Ukulele Recorder Euphonium Tuba
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
Instruments: Piano Cello Music Keyboard
Every student has their own interest and learn with their own pace. I teach them based on what they need to learn and give them what they want to play. I pay attention to students' basic technique and postures as I believe that having a good basic foundation helps you build up your skill and will help you improve. It's important to develop a good practice habits. Always think and plan before practice, set a goal for each session. Read More

I have had years of dedicated study to performance techniques, general musicianship skills, and the mechanics of the the singing process. I have over 75 Five-Star reviews across various online platforms that speak to my effectiveness, and many of them note my attention to detail and warm, welcoming environment. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
In high school I had the great privilege of being selected as the Principal clarinetist in the Minnesota All-State Band. We performed at the summer camp designed for these groups and recreated our performance at Orchestra Hall, home of the Minnesota Orchestra, the following spring. Clarinet is my primary instrument and first love. I also teach saxophone and beginning flute and hope to add other woodwinds in the future. Piano has always been an important influence in my musical performances and I believe it is a gateway to interest in other instruments, so I truly enjoy teaching it! Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
I spend a lot of class time teaching students how to practice correctly so that when they are practicing alone they will know what to do to make their time productive. I love seeing the pride and self confidence that a student develops from mastering a particularly difficult exercise. I love being able to encourage them and see them through the tough times and be able to celebrate those victories with them. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Organ
I approach each student knowing that every student is unique and so is their learning style. While the information that is delivered to each student remains the same, the manner in which I teach each student varies widely. I try to foster the best student-teacher relationship possible in order to gain the confidence and trust of both the student and their families. I also have much experience teaching students with unique characteristics such as ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, Asperger's, etc. Read More
Instruments: Piano
At an early age, I knew music was what I wanted to do with my life, and how I knew I would be able to touch people. My teaching experience goes back to my second year at my university and I fell in love with teaching after the very first lesson. In a never dull, quick paced setting, that accentuates each individual student's needs, I hope to never leave you bored, yet eager for the next session. Read More
Instruments: Violin Viola
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Some of my students have won auditions for their regionals orchestra and also their all-state orchestra.
I have another student who is principal of her section in a music minor orchestra at her university.
Preparing for an audition will help the student even if they don't win it. The key is starting early enough before the deadline, having a game plan of how much to practice and then focusing in on the specific problems early on.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Break the problem down into small chunks. 1 to 2 measures of music. Work on it for 5-10 minutes and then move on. Practice your bow arm and left hand separately and then combine them later. Use a metronome! If you can't feel the pulse of the music you can't play it.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
For students under the age of 11 or so, are you as the parent able to encourage them to practice? And is the student not only interested but willing to commit 15-20 minutes 5-6 days per week to practice? If not, they will not make progress.
When will I start to see results?
Assuming the teacher is giving guidance and the student is receptive, results will be directly correlated to the amount of time and effort the student puts into it.
This is also greatly dependent on the age of the student and if they have had music lessons or are taking orchestra class in school or other musical activities.
I'd say after 1-2 months of practicing 5-6 days per week you should start to see and hear progress. If you are consistent with practicing, progress will be steady.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
In the 4th grade at my school students could start to learn a string instrument. I originally chose cello but had a bad experience with a teacher so then I switched to viola because a friend was doing it. I won a playing competition in the 4th grade playing Kookaburra and that was an encouragement to me to stick with it.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
All my teachers have inspired me with their high level of playing and their knowledge as well as their passion for teaching. They have helped me learn how to teach myself as I've gotten older which is an invaluable skill.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am proud that I've played principal viola in many orchestras, including the National Orchestral Institute Philharmonic and a music festival orchestra in Germany. I'm also proud of my students and my growth as a teacher. It is a great feeling when a student says they understand a concept, and when I hear them making progress in their playing!
