Instruments: Piano Organ Keyboard
I love teaching students how to read the music. It really makes my day when they can play a piece and enjoy the music. I want them to then go forth and share the joy with others. Usually I play a piece over and over until I get it, then I have a little fun with it.I enjoy teaching music as a substitute teacher. I currently play piano or organ at 3 different congregations.

Instruments: Piano Synthesizer Harmonica Recorder Keyboard
Each student has his profile, so I seek to adapt the methodology of teaching according to the individual needs and personal choices of each student. For beginners looking to learn to read sheet music, I usually adopt the books of Michael Aaron or James Bastien (for small children). For those students who wish to develop their musicality without reading shuffles, I teach through imitation learning, the development of auditory perception and creativity. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I use the Piano Adventures method for most of my beginners. I generally include materials from a variety of sources, especially if the student needs more work in a particular area. I do have other methods that I use as needed, Piano Pronto, Supersonics, and Carol Matz Interactive Piano. There is also the option of going method-less, focusing on the skills that are in each piece of music. I also have a vast library of studio licensed materials that I share with students, most of them without cost to you. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Flute
I play 3 different instruments. I originally started out on the flute. I played the flute during high shool and college. I studied under Karen , and Leslie Timmons. While I was at college, I became interested in Music Therapy. As part of the curriculum for Music Therapy, I also studied guitar and piano. I have worked as a music therapist and as a music teacher for many years. I have played in marching bands, orchestras, and symphonic bands. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
I'm a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music. In 2015, I graduated from the University of Wisconsin Platteville with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Choral and General Music Education. I have taught piano for 14 years, voice for 10 years, and guitar for 3 years. Performing all over the midwest and areas of the east coast has been one of the greater experiences of my life as a musician, and I've had the opportunity to accompany over 30 musicals. Read More
Instruments: Piano
My teaching experience mainly comes from my two years of teacher training as part of my degree in keyboard pedagogy. I would assist in teaching a group class of beginners ages 5-6 and an adult class for music majors. I have also taught privately in person and online to both adults and children. I am excited to continue my teaching experience as I learn more about myself and how to be the best teacher I can be. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
For most students on piano, I typically use the Faber series to learn technique and theory simultaneously. It’s important to be able to gain that knowledge of theory early to help students be more independent. For adults on piano, we would work together to find repertoire to fit their skill level and interest to keep things engaging and relevant. Voice is much more individualized since every instrument is unique. Read More
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.
