As the founder of a music program, I am a passionate and caring instructor who loves working with students of all ages and thrives on making lessons a great experience. Born and raised in San Antonio, I began taking piano lessons at six years old and started composing music at age 12. During high school, I taught piano lessons along with other side music jobs such as piano refinishing and music engraving. Read More

Instruments: Piano Violin Drums

Music has been one of my passions since I was a little girl! I took up piano at age 8, violin at 13, and drums at 15. I've been known to belt out a tune here and there, too! There is nothing better than having an afternoon to lose yourself to creating and playing music. In high school, I was Concert Master of the Philharmonic Orchestra. I've had the opportunity to perform on the drums at various venues and was invited by my drum instructor to return to the studio to become an instructor myself, where I taught for three years.

Each student is unique in the way they learn and progress. I come in to each new lesson trying to learn what works best for each student, as well as what each student is trying to gain from the lessons. For example a very young student may just need exposure to the world of music in a very fun learing atmosphere, while an older or more advanced student may want more a more intense lesson. Read More

I have been described by more than one student and several parents who have observed lessons with me as “energetically laid-back”. I have a great passion for music, and it comes through in the excitement I share with my students, with the hope that it inspires them to seek greatness for themselves in all aspects of their lives. We will set goals together, track their progress and they will feel challenged and pushed at times, but empowered with the knowledge that anything can be overcome with patience, persistence, and practice.

My teaching experience dates back to my early college days, about twenty-two years ago. I have been consistently teaching students in my home studio for the last two decades. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for their instrument. I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy their instrument and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

Much of my lesson plan is specific to the age, experience, desire and ability of the student, but the basics tend to remain the same. I try to craft dexterity and melodic exercises to unite the ear and fingers, while crating a basic understanding of the theory involved, a rhythmic exercise which teaches comping and time, and assign a song to work on between lessons. I refer to this plan as "Theory, Time Tune." This technique was effective when assigned to me and I still use it to guide my own practice. Read More

Music has always been the biggest thing in my life. Having come from a very musical family, everyone either sang or played an instrument (usually both). My first singing debut was in Brussels, Belgium at the tender age of 3! I began singing in churches all over America at the age of 6, recorded my first album at 10 and began leading worship at the age of 15, when I also recorded my 2nd CD. Read More
