Instruments: Piano Guitar Flute
I encourage my students to practice smart instead of long. This is especially important for young students. I teach my students to self-evaluate their own playing. When difficult areas are recognized, this is where the practicing focus should be. Above all, music should be enjoyable! Hard work disguised as FUN is my goal. I am great at giving positive feedback. I enjoy celebrating success. I feel that it is important to let the student set the pace and then encourage from there. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Keyboard
I began teaching lessons at age 14 to young neighborhood beginners. As I progressed through the years, I expanded my range of student ability from beginner to upper intermediate, and from ages 6 to... well, older than me and I'm now 60! I have taught hundreds of students and enjoyed every one of them. I find that the more effort, especially in consistent and efficient practice (to be explained and demonstrated by me), that my students put in, the more pleasure and satisfaction they get out of it!

My favorite part about teaching is teaching beginners. It's so much fun to introduce a brand new instrument to someone and show them all that learning music has to offer. I mainly focus on the basics of music, and music theory in order to give students the tools they need to teach themselves when I'm not around, or if lessons have to discontinue for some reason. Once the basics of music theory have been grasped, it makes learning the technical aspects of the new instrument much faster, and easier. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I am mainly using Alfred's Premier Piano series in my curriculum for beginning students who are children. I include material from other method books that help meet the needs I want for my students. It is very important for any student at any level to have a strong technical foundation starting with proper posture and hand shape. When learning new songs and pieces, I start off with aural experiences for the students, especially when rhythm is difficult. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
My main background has been in the classroom. I have six years of experience teaching choir in secondary schools in Utah and two additional years at the collegiate level so I’ve been able to work with singers from 11 to 20+ years old. Whether your voice is just beginning to change or is maturing, I’ve been there and know how to help! I’ve been playing the piano for over 20 years and love helping students develop a new talent and love for music. Read More
Instruments: Piano
A few years ago, I taught the piano for approximately three years. I stopped teaching for a while in order to pursue my Bachelor's Degree - beginning at Dixie State University, and I am now working to build my clientele again. I absolutely love to teach. One of my favorite moments with every students happens at around the 4th or 5th lesson, when the student then feels comfortable enough to begin to discuss with me some of their goals with the piano. (Some students open up a little sooner, and others take some time). Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
My teaching experience dates back to my youth, as I began teaching private lessons at the age of 15. I have been consistently teaching students in their homes since then, with the most students since graduating from college. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument.

Instruments: Piano Voice
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I started on piano and only moved to voice when I was in high school. I love both of them, but I love most the voice because if its ability to communicate using words.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Several of my past students have won state and regional awards in Oklahoma, Georgia, and Texoma National Association of Teachers of Singing competitions. Other students have won national opera and art song awards and are now singing professionally. I am equally as proud of my students who have graduated with music education degrees and who are now teaching in TX, OK, and GA.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My mom was the person who first started teaching me piano and gave me my initial love of music and singing. I then joined choir in high school, where my choir teacher eventually persuaded me to take voice lessons! Both my mom and my choir teacher inspired me because they saw my potential even when I sang out of tune and didn’t work hard. They inspired me to do better and to go out on a limb and try. And I found that I loved it when I got there.
When will I start to see results?
The voice is comprised of many muscles, and like all the other muscles of the human body, it takes time for the vocal muscles to grow and strengthen. Patience is key! However, it is possible to often see almost immediate results from better breathing, focused practice, and figuring out how to relax and release the voice to be free and resonant like it should be.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Anyone can learn to sing. My kids started matching pitch and singing along to songs when they were a very young age! However, for the youngest students, lessons are obviously going to be shorter than with my adult students, who can easily concentrate for an hour of hard work.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Effective practice is one of THE best ways you’re going to improve. I practice more effectively when I have goals, both long-term and short-term. An example from my own experience is how I recently learned a song. I had the long-term goal of learning it, polishing it, and performing it in a public setting. I broke that into achievable short-term goals for each day. These short-term goals helped me reach my long-term goals in time to give an excellent and effective performance.
Effective practice also means you practice smart. No one would go to the gym one time a month but spend ten hours there! The same is also true for singing. Even ten-fifteen minutes daily is going to be more helpful than eight hours cramming the day before your next lesson.
