Before entering graduate school, I served as a band director in Illinois public schools for two years. During that time, I taught a 4th grade recorder class, 5th grade band, 6th grade band, 7th/8th grade band, and high school band. During graduate school I was the instructor of horn for the Western Illinois University Summer Music Institute, and I have taught private horn lessons to a variety of undergraduate music students as a part of my graduate teaching assistantship at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

I love singing! I feel so lucky to have performed for some of the greatest singers of our time: Rene Elise Goldsberry (Broadway), Jennifer Rowley (Metropolitan Opera), Kristine Opolais (Met), Ailyn Perz (Met), and Lisette Oropesa (Met). I have also performed in venues and companies all over the world: Thailand, Hawaii, Italy, and Austria. My goal as a teacher is to share what I have learned from the best of the best and from around the globe to help ALL my students reach their full potential and thrive as a musician. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I truly enjoy seeing my students learn to appreciate music and its many styles and uses. My teaching style, while keeping a focus on the fundamentals of piano, also encourages creativity and exploration of their own. All students have different learning styles and speeds, and some students may take longer to understand certain concepts. I take this into account before each lesson, and tailor the lesson to be both productive and enjoyable. Read More

I would always follow each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. For children, I would also offer a reward such as candy to boost their excitement and passion for learning piano. When it comes to piano theory, I would reward them with a sticker on their homework page that is completed on time. Read More

I did a lot of YouTube videos for them. I have helped them with performing opportunities such as at churches and events in Lincoln. I always create a connection between learning and performance so that students can strive for the best results to look toward. I don't hesitate to share my experiences to my students so that they have the opportunity to interact and learn in many music areas besides learning piano and singing such as ear training, theory, composition, using the software to record music, and a bunch of other things.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
1. Get on a schedule. The connection between mind and body is an amazing thing. Establishing a regular routine and practice time helps to engage both mind and body within practice, thereby facilitating more efficient development of the mental and physical skills needed to become a better musician.
2. Tune in to the music and out of the media. Given enough time/exposure, even the most motivated minds will succumb to the temptations of readily available distractions. So practice in a room separate from devices that provide distraction. Put the phone on silent and in a different room. Turn off any screens that cannot be easily removed from the room.
3. Start small. Practice for meaningful improvement in a narrow scope. If you try to cover too much ground in a single practice session you will not be able to see much of anything in the way of improvement. Narrowing the scope of a practice session allows for focus and improvement in small areas that when linked together across multiple practice sessions will yield meaningful improvement over a larger scope.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Control is the most difficult thing to master on the trumpet. It is easy to play loud and fast with an edgy sound. It is easy to play soft and slow with a breathy sound. It takes consistent time and effort to develop the control necessary for consistent tone across every style of music. It takes even more time and effort beyond that to build up the control necessary to modify your sound to play with tone appropriate to each unique style of music. There is a fine line within the tonal range of the trumpet wherein the sound is distinctly that of the trumpet yet does not push the sound beyond the range of pleasant tone.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite style of music to play is jazz. While jazz can have the connotation of being a technically "loose" style of music, an understanding of classical music theory is enormously beneficial to playing jazz. The seeming freedom heard in jazz music is based on the foundation of classical music. As such, jazz is a unique blending of emotion, knowledge, and technical ability that, to me, represents the best parts of music performance rolled up into a single style. Also, the sheer breadth of jazz as a genre of music allows for significant variance in styling and sound while under the same genre umbrella.
