I’m a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music. Between 2011-2015, I participated in Lancaster Bible College’s wind ensemble and graduated with a Bachlor of Arts degree in Biblical Studies and Children & Family Ministry Studies. Working with students in China, the United Arab Emirates, and the United Sttes has been one of my best experiences of my life as a fine arts instructor. Read More

While grasping the fundamentals of the instrument itself is crucial, I like to go about it in a way that will provide a positive and inspiring experience for the student. Nothing is more unproductive than forcing students to learn information when they are visibly not having a good time. Everyone learns at their own pace and catering to their personal style is my main focus. I try to push the student as much as possible but in a way that is very controlled and calculated. Read More

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with either Music for Little Mozarts Series or Piano Adventure Series with essential music theory related piano. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoires appropriate for their performance levels. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in first, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Read More

Depending on the age and personality, I cater each lesson to the individual. If they are younger students, I'll use Mel Bay or Hal Leonard books, but sometimes I will make a custom book that builds with their development and learning style.

I believe in practice and routine as a foundation to learning, but also improvisation and experimentation. I learn best across multiple media and I LOVE using the internet and a variety of applications to supplement my student's studies. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

It touches the deepest and most inexplicable parts of us all, yet it can be simple enough for anyone to understand---even an unborn child. The principles of music have been proven to literally train a young brain to be receptive to complex learning, high levels of thinking and reasoning, and the mastery of numeration, sequencing, and calculation. Although every teaching experience is unique, my constant goal is to excellently open the door for the mastery of musical understanding and technique, as it brings about self-confidence, broadens self-awareness, fosters the development of intellect and nurtures a love of learning.
