Instruments: Piano
I have been teaching for over 30 years, and I love working with children. Regular practice is important so that students can see progress and reap the rewards that come with it. I meet the students where they are at, trying to work with their particular style of learning. My lessons are based in classical music, but we learn many different styles of music as they progress. The teaching association I belong to has four festivals a year, which I encourage my students to participate in, where they perform pieces and receive constructive feedback, helping them to grow as musicians and to become comfortable playing for others.

Instruments: Piano Cello Music Keyboard
As a teacher, it is always rewarding to see students not only improved and made progress but also to see them being focused and enjoy playing music. It's helpful if a teacher can create an inspiring environment that encourages students to try different things and to look for more possibilities of playing music. Students feel more motivated when they can find something interesting in music and they feel more accomplished when they are able to play the music they love. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Drums French Horn
My teaching experience can go as far back as high school. Even though, I was still a student, My piano teacher let me teach the class because for 1). He didn't want to because he was a Choir teacher and it help him to prepared for his choir and 2). I was more advanced than everyone else. I took that opportunity and did the best I can. After High School, I continue to do lesson for piano. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola
I really enjoy watching my students grow in skill and passion for their instrument. I believe in letting my students know how much they are improving, and emphasizing their growth each week. I am inspired by my students and I believe that my students are inspired by me! Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute Piccolo
I believe that it is important to tailor lessons to my individual students, helping to foster a love of music and learning. I think it is important for my students to have goals that they are striving to achieve. They can be big goals, like making it into a college of choice, but I also think small ones are important, like mastering the Bb major scale. We work towards goals and celebrate accomplishments together to help drive each student's passion. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
For beginning piano students I typically start with Faber's piano adventure series--I typically have students work through the lesson, performance, and theory books while providing them with additional repertoire on the side (pop, disney, classical pieces etc.) For voice students, I typically spend about a third of the lesson working on technique--proper breathing, posture, extending range, working on tone quality etc. Then the rest of the lesson is spent working on solo song repertoire.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
My advice to any student of guitar is to practice because any one who plays guitar or any other instrument learns - if I don't play, I don't learn. I have also learned that half an hour to 45 minute periods of time can be enough. More than that, can discourage a beginner. Also, even with my many years of experience, if I haven't played in a while, it shows. So enjoy practice, don't burn out, and don't give up!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
The way I believe any child's parents can know he/she is ready to learn an instrument or anything else is interest. If a child listens intently to music, talks about music, or even pretends to play music these are the signs that the child is ready. Some children show little interest in school work, but they easily concentrate on music. Although this can be irritating to a parent, music teaches us organization and the need to listen to the teacher to understand the subject. Also age pass 6 is a good milestone. Size does matter to be able to hold and do proper fingering on a guitar. As funny as it sounds, air guitar can lead to real guitar with the right teacher.
When will I start to see results?
Results are easy to see. Step by step learning to master the basics leads to growing accomplishments. Also, parents and family need to watch as a student takes the basics and turns them into songs. Before long, they will be creating their own music. So results are based on practice interest, and encouragement. If a student has that going for himself, results can come in the first few months. Every step is a success. Remember, they couldn't do any of this before. Their ability to play needs to be celebrated by the family so that students can be proud of their learning.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes, I did and his name was Steve Hunter. he was a rock guitarist from my hometown of Decatur, Il. He worked at a music store in our city called Ax-In-Hand. He was the guitar instructor there. I was 10 years old and dreamed of being a big rock star. He was very understanding and patient which is what a good teacher needs to be. He left soon to become a studio musician and later played with Alice Cooper and in the recording studio with Black Sabbath. He took me through the basics of cords and reading music, but he always said to listen to music and try to recreate it. That has been my best guide since his lessons started.
