Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Music Keyboard
I have taught many students about Music Theory, composition and the Saxophone, and have helped all of them reach new levels of fluidity on their instruments, gain deeper understanding of concepts, and develop more extensive knowledge of Theory, and how to apply it. It is a true pleasure to see my student succeed and have the Aha moment when a concept that they were struggling with, morphs into something they dont even need to think about. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Organ
I've been in the field of music education, production and performance for over 20 years. I have spent half of my life helping others find their path in music. One of the most important lessons I have learned as a teacher is that...."people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care!!!!" I understands that building a relationship with a student is just as important as the information I teach. Read More

And I am a open-minded teacher, and always willing to learn and make creative way to introduce new idea of music to my students. Read More
Instruments: Piano
As I alluded to previously, I lean much more towards the traditional end of the spectrum in regards to teaching. That being said, I also make a concerted effort to make my piano lessons fun and engaging for the student. I have had the great fortune of getting to study the piano under some really kind and inspiring people, and I try to emulate them the best I can. I want students to know I care about them without coming across as disingenuous, and I don't want them to ever feel afraid to ask a question. Read More
Instruments: Piano Organ
Piano: I enjoy the Alfred books as they explore the fundamentals of piano playing and provide tips for good habits. After having a good foundation for the fundamentals, I will move on to the Hanon book which explores technical exercises, scales, and arpeggios. Students will learn repertoire that will range from contemporary genres to classical genres. Organ: A piano background would be preferred. I like to start with the Davidson book and use Gleason for mastering the pedals. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
I recently finished my studies to receive my Bachelor of Music in Music Therapy degree from Sam Houston State University. At SHSU I gained experience working with a variety of clientele including those diagnosed with autism, dementia, traumatic brain injury (TBI), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and spina bifida. I also provided live percussion music with the Creative Movement Program with the dance department at Sam Houston State University. I hope that in the near future I can own my own private studio where I can host music lessons and music therapy sessions. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute Piccolo
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I have been arranging for piano and flute for several years. Last year I decided to put them together and make my own CD. This took months of preparation in both arranging and practicing, before recording. I recorded the pieces in 2 separate batches. One in January, and the other in September of 2017. The CD was fun to make, but it still is useful, as I am using the arrangements in lessons. I also encourage my students to arrange pieces. One of my hymnplaying students also plays the harp, and I have been able to encourage her to arrange her own hymns to play.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Two of my young students passed their abrsm grade 1 and 2 exams with distinction, which is the highest mark. They had to memorize 3 pieces, one each from 3 different periods. We worked on one piece at a time., learning and then memorizing each. Sometimes I recorded the piece so they could play along. Many times they had measures to work on 3 times perfect each day. They also had scales and arpeggios to memorize, which we worked on one at a time, then reviewed all each week. They had to practice sight reading every day, and we worked on singing and rhythm during our lessons. I was so proud of their achievement, and so were they!
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I find memorizing pieces quite challenging. I get ever so excited when I'm allowed to use my music! :) This had always been a challenge for me, while many I know can memorize without an effort.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
For piano, I prefer to use Faber as a beginning method. I have used Alfred in the past, but I find that my young students start to equate certain fingers with certain notes, and this is difficult to overcome. But, once we get past the first couple of books, I am happy to use whatever the student brings to their lesson.
With flute, I have recently started using the Blocki method. I love the way it encourages the student to play both registers from the very beginning, and also the strong emphasis on scales, which are the building blocks for runs!
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I encourage my students to play scales at each practice session, which encourages the finger mobility. Sight reading is also important! Sometimes we have a sight reading book, or sometimes they can play through an easier book they already have. Then we move on to each piece, practicing the difficult parts first, then playing the piece through at the end as a treat. My younger students need to practice flash cards or a music app daily so they don't have to keep counting out the notes during their lesson or when sight reading.
