For students who are serious about learning I believe a goal-oriented approach is the best, having a certain level or certain piece to try to reach by a specific time. Accomplishing this goal and seeing the results from working through the steps needed to learn a piece is very rewarding. This leads to new goals and the motivation to learn and accomplish even more. Once the basic foundation is in place the learning will become easier and the students' enjoyment will increase. Read More

In 1976 I graduated from Auburn University with a BS in Music Education. Read More

I want my students to be successful. I will give them to tools to need to learn to language of music. I will direct them to the materials to help them with that goal.

I acknowledge students' growth and realize that everyone moves at their own pace. Read More

From these experiences, I seek to teach piano. Incorporate performance, write a song, play and experience other musical instruments, enjoy the music, find appreciation to the variety of genres that are out there: from country, classical, to even jazz, and rock. I want my students to enjoy the art as we work for specific skills, techniques, and professionalisms. Because the bottom line, is the joy we feel ourselves when we play and the joy we give to others when they hear us perform. Read More

I emphasize positive, fun, joyful learning and I use multimedia to make the lesson more colorful and modern. I have one foot in the traditional "Old School" and one in cutting edge learning techniques. I completely tailor each person's lesson plans to emphasize the strengths of the student. Some people learn through hearing, while others need to learn through touch and coordination. Those with shorter attention spans enjoy faster rotation through activities, which is effective for children as young as three years of age. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to when I was 16 years old and started teaching students from the church that I played piano at. I've been teaching full time since I was 25 years old, and I love teaching.

I also encourage students to learn to improvise and compose their own music by teaching them composition, harmony, rhythm, and practicing to backing tracks. Read More
