Instruments: Piano
When I start with a student, we immediately start working on sight-reading, as I believe it is a very important skill to have. Even the beginners students, all start sight-reading right off the bat, and build on the skill as they progress. As we go along with our lessons, we add on new concepts and integrate those into what is already learned, as well as incorporate them into music the student enjoys. Read More

I am a sixth semester student at Berklee College of Music, dual majoring in saxophone performance and jazz composition, and have studied with many inspiring professors as well as learned from many amazing educators. Since entering Berklee I have been able to not only study the material and concepts, but I have also gotten to study professors and how they educate students of all different backgrounds, all different levels of understanding, and how they navigate teaching a class with students who are all at different stages and levels of grasping material.

Instruments: Piano Voice
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Vocal Performance (and a minor in dance) from Millikin University (Decatur, IL) and a Master's degree in Vocal Performance from Northern Illinois University (DeKalb, IL) where I focused on vocal pedagogy. During both my undergrad and graduate studies, I was active in the college choirs and opera productions. I performed a variety of roles including Gretel in Hansel and Gretel, Countess in the Marriage of Figaro, Ottavia in The Coronation of Poppea, and Carolina in Il Matrimonio Segreto. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
Really good music teachers who work well with students of various temperaments and abilities are difficult to come by. My goal is to instill a sense of music appreciation, while at the same time teaching about the technical aspects of music and having realistic goals for my students. I feel qualified to teach music and to do so in a way that each student feels special, valued and encouraged. With my real world experience and unique style of teaching I believe I am an ideal musician to study with. Read More
Instruments: Piano Acoustic Guitar
I have been involved in music for as long as I can remember, singing in church choirs and leading contemporary worship. I graduated from McMurry University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Piano Performance in 2004. Having decided that performing was not my #1 passion I then pursued a Masters of Music degree, specializing in Music Therapy, from Colorado State Univeristy. I have been a professional music therapist for the past 9 years, working with children and adolescents with developmental disabilities as well as mental health populations. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Organ Synthesizer Accordion Music
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Yes. As I previously mentioned, I've had several students go on to become music majors at college. Some making a living at music. And some winning their school's talent contest. I really enjoy my students playing a piece they have written. I encourage composition and teach how to compose, when the student is ready.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Correct fingering is quite important on piano, guitar and bass guitar. On piano, playing two different parts can be challenging. Reading two different clefs can be confusing and difficult to some students. Guitar and bass guitar are initially, painful to play. Hand muscles need to be trained and strengthened. Callouses need to develop.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I am very progressive but I teach to the individual student. All students, and people, are unique, and I customize my lessons to fit the students wants and needs and personality. Other considerations are the students time, and what their goals are with music. Cookie cutter methods don't work for me at all. I've taught several students with Autism, Asperger's, and various learning disabilities, with great success.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I teach my students to 1. Practice shortly after the lesson, so the student remembers the lesson. 2. If they have a problem with a measure or section, to stop, analyze, and fix the part. Break it in to small pieces, and figure it out, and once it is correct, play it over and over to get it in your muscle memory. 3. Just playing through a song, skipping over the mistakes, is NOT practicing or learning.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I have been fortunate enough to have toured the world, several times, with performers of all levels of success and popularity. I have worked, in the recording studio , doing countless recordings, with all types of artists. I've written, produced, and recorded commercial spots, for several large advertising agencies, through the years. I love performing and entertaining people. I also love teaching music. There is nothing like music. I feel that, us older, experienced players, have a duty to pass the torch.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
When I was quite young, I would see an organ or piano, and they always fascinated me. I loved the sound and the fact that the instrument can act like an entire orchestra. I picked up guitar, in college, and then bass. Understanding keyboard and piano, which is music theory laid out in front of you, I was able to teach myself both guitar and bass.
