Instruments: Piano Cello
I feel that my job as a teacher is to facilite my students' indivual growth and development as they make their own way along their musical paths in life. My happiness comes from watching my students gain more confidence after reaching goals that they set for themselves in our sessions. It's important to me that everyone feels good about themselves which is why I started a 'Student Spotlight' newsletter to highlight accomplishments such as completing a book or performing with the school orchestra.

I am a hard, motivated and outgoing instructor. May 2018 I will be obtaining my degree in Music Media from Norfolk a state University. Currently I am 1st chair clarinet in the wind ensemble and also Tenor sax in jazz band. I was given the opportunity to play bass clarinet and tenor sax in the schools production of “The Color Purple” as well. Music is a way for someone to express themselves where words may not be possible. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I am a classically-trained pianist who loves sharing the joy of music with others. I graduated from Coastal Carolina University in 2017 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music, with a concentration on music education. During my studies, I developed a love of folk music from around the world, and have found that it is a great teaching tool. I am very passionate about music theory and ear training and love to teach others about them. Read More

I have taught individuals from the age of 3 and up, as well as skill levels from beginner to more advanced skills. Read More

Instruments: Piano Flute Recorder
Methods are tailored around the individual needs and goals of the student. Fundamentals in music theory are balanced with repertoire and lessons focus on developing practice skills that the student can use outside the lesson. The Suzuki method is ideal for beginning flute students, particularly young students. This approach allows students to become comfortable holding the instrument, producing a solid tone, and training the ear, before introducing notation. For beginning pianists, the Bastien series works well in terms of breaking down repertoire into manageable pieces and marking students' progress in early study. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice the hardest parts first, slowly. It's always tempting/easier to practice what we're comfortable with, but practicing what you already know, or can already do, does not allow you to grow and expand upon your abilities. In order to become comfortable with something, you have to allow yourself to be uncomfortable first. So practice the uncomfortable stuff, slowly, until it becomes comfortable. Then, move on to the next challenge, and watch yourself grow, develop, and get better!! This will also help grow your confidence as well, as you discover what you can handle and conquer.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
This is always a fine line to walk, but usually it comes down to two main things, concentration and focus. Piano is an instrument that truly can be learned by anyone (as long as you know your alphabet up to G). However, a lot of the learning process, especially in the beginning, requires having an attention span, and the ability to focus on what you're learning. If a child has the ability to concentrate on what they're doing without becoming too distracted (even if for just 15 or 20 minutes), a LOT can be accomplished. It's always our job as the teacher, to try to be engaging and keep things interesting, but the student must be able to stay focused as well. If they can do this, and also seem interested in learning as well, certainly there is much potential for them to go far!!
When will I start to see results?
This can vary widely from student to student. It also depends how much time you're putting in between lessons. Students that do very little between lessons, and/or are not practicing regularly, will typically take longer than the ones that put in more time and are practicing more consistently (it's always better to put in a few minutes daily, than practicing once every few days). Also, because a lot of the beginning stuff is based on repetition and memorization, some students just pick up on that faster than others, while others may need more time. But a consistent daily practice routine is always the best approach.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
By far, the one I gravitate towards the most would be Jazz. The melodies and chord changes (for many Jazz standards) are beautiful, intricate, and complex. Listening to a Jazz solo, in my opinion, is often times an incredible thing to witness, as you're literally hearing a composition being created on the spot, while at the same time working within a very concrete and specific structure (which is what makes it sound good). And then, when playing together in group settings, you also have the added benefit of communication, as musicians will feed off each other's ideas. It is very much a communal effort and to experience it live is simply irreplaceable.
