Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Drums Organ Synthesizer Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I have been teaching on and off since 2010 and now teach almost exclusively from my home studio in Bloomington, IN. I've had the experience of teaching everyone from 4 year olds to advanced adult students and implemented various teaching methods for the many different minds learning styles. I always liked to look at the art of music like learning a language so I have since learned to create individualized lesson plans for my students that gives students plenty time to "speak", that is learning the fundamentals, phrases, and tools to share their personal story and to study the vast pedigree of music that has come before them.

Piano - there are as many method books as there are different kinds of pianos! I use, but am not limited to, the following: Faber, Noona, Wunderkeys, Pianotown, Alfred, Helen Mier, Snell, and more. I like to start any student that comes to me with what they already have. For a young student - I will start with Faber as it is the easiest to understand for younger players. Other than that - I gear the lessons to each individual student. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Oboe

My main music philosophy is to teach sound before sight: teach students to hear the music, and then read the notation. For beginners, I want them to become well acquainted with their instrument so I begin with the basic fundamentals, and then teach some traditional tunes before moving on to reading music. For students who can already read music, I like to work on sight-reading as well as finding solo repertoire that can be performed at recitals. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar

For piano, I typically use the Faber Piano Adventures Series; however, I am open to other method books as well. The Faber series has theory, technique, lesson, and performance books, each with different skills and techniques to learn. I find that those books offer the most comprehensive learning. In addition to the Faber books, I also utilize online worksheets for supplemental learning. For guitar, I typically use online worksheets and chord sheets, and from there, I encourage students to purchase specific guitar books they are interested in (for example, Disney books, classic rock books, Beatles books, etc.).

Instruments: Piano Voice Music

When will I start to see results?
It is individual to each student, but I would like to confidently say that after three to four lessons you should start hearing results! It is all about singing in a healthy way, and perfection is unrealistic, so don't be disheartened if it doesn't sound exactly like you want it to sound right away.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
As someone who is really bad about practicing herself, the advice I have is to split it up into chunks. Pick certain skills to work on each day, don't just sing through the piece as soon as you get it. Start by listening to it a few times to get it in your head, then go over the diction and look up any words you don't know. Then, figure out the story of the song. What are you singing about? Then, start the singing process. If you split this up over a week of practice, it will be a lot more effective than just cramming it all into one practice session. For piano practice, I strongly encourage putting in at least 30 minutes a day of practice. Piano can take a long time to learn, and it can be frustrating to mess up (believe me, I've been there). Practicing for at least half an hour a day will make a whole lot of difference, and make you more prepared for your lesson. It is a lot about muscle memory for piano.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I have taken piano and guitar as well, but voice is the instrument that I am the best at and most importantly, enjoy the most! I took piano for a long time, but just didn't have the passion for it that I have for voice, and I found it much more difficult, so that is why I chose voice! I have also self-taught myself guitar, but I use that mostly for songwriting! (Feel free to ask me about that during lessons as well!)

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My voice teacher back when I was between the ages of 10-18 inspired me to pursue music! She always believed in me and my abilities, and gave me a great foundation for entering college. She went to Indiana University, as well, so that is how I had even heard of the college in the first place.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
There isn't a yes or no answer to this question, but I would say once your child is at least 10 years old, and has shown some kind of passion for music/singing, then they are ready to start! A beginning student wouldn't need to have to start learning really complicated pieces or techniques, it is just baby steps at the beginning! For piano, I think that any age is appropriate to start! I know some kids who have started as young as toddlers!

More Information About Piano Lessons

  • Lessons in Your Home

    Taking piano lessons from the comfort of your own home is the most convenient way of learning to the play the instrument. All you need for your lessons is a piano or keyboard to play on! Home lessons remove the hassle of transporting your child to and from their lessons, and can be fitted around busy work schedules more readily. Whether the lesson takes place in-home or in the studio, the content remains the same. Home piano lessons are a particularly good option for younger students. It is a big advantage for young students to learn in a familiar, comfortable, and supportive environment.

  • What is Taught

    The content of each lesson is determined by the ability and experience level of each individual student. For students just starting off, the foundations of piano playing will start to be laid. This includes learning to read music and chord charts, learning their way around the piano, and learning simple scales and chords. Students can put these new skills to use through simple, entry level compositions. For intermediate pianists, they will develop some of the finer arts to piano playing, such as modulation, developing speed, and combining a wider array of chords, such as augmented and slash chords. They will also get to work on their sight reading and playing more challenging songs. Advanced students may wish to work on their improvisational skills, develop their repertoire, or study a specific genre or style of playing, such as Jazz, Baroque, or Blues. Regardless, all students will experience the joys of piano playing.

  • Piano Lessons for Kids

    Children are recommended to start piano lessons no earlier than age 4 or 5. The attention span and personality of the child are factors to consider when thinking of taking lessons. Even if your child has no evident musical inclinations, piano lessons offer a great option for introducing your child to music. During their lessons children will learn sight reading, music theory techniques, ear training as well as fundamentals of music.

Some parts of your warm-up routine, however, will remain unchanged.

Soloing Over Rhythm Changes

This is what’s called a “chord tone solo”. The idea is to create a solo using only chord tones (1357). My example is very basic. When practicing chord tone solos, you can use the notes in any order and should use more rhythmic variation in order to create rhythmic interest.     This example is a basic 1357 digital pattern used over the bridge.   When you’re playing chord tone solos, you ...
