Instruments: Piano
My music teaching experience began all the way back in 2011 when I got to be a section leader for the Charleston Trojans Marching Band alto saxophones section. My interest in piano grew and my most current teaching experience was student teaching at Hayt Elementary School in Chicago, IL (in CPS). I got to teach lessons in music to classes of 25-30 students for 8 hours a day, and did everything from singing songs to playing piano, but everything to get children experiencing music and tapping into their potential.

Instruments: Piano Violin Fiddle
My teaching does not only focus on students' violin playing skills, but also their aural skills and musicianship. I strongly believe that ear training benefits a student's overall musical development. My lessons typically involve listening and singing on top of regular violin playing. I also love playing simple duets with my students during lessons, so that they feel comfortable collaborating with other musicians. For beginners, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements for Strings. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Saxophone Flute Drums Bass Guitar Ukulele Mandolin Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I believe in a student learning to hear music and think for themselves. Through ear training, creativity, and learning "how" music works, the goal is to get each student to not need a teacher to learn their instrument, but want a teacher so they may become their best version of it. I focus on this as a primary value in my studio. In lessons, we'll use formulas and concepts to understand "why" things sound good, and "how" we actually get better. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet Oboe English Horn
I am a passionate instructor who loves helping students grow their love of music. It is my goal to give all my students the ability to express themselves through music. I currently teach music at Kansas City Public Schools and I am looking to grow my private lesson studio. I believe anyone can benefit from a quality music education, and it is never too early or late to learn a new instrument! Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute Piccolo
For my methods, it depends on the age of the student and what their ability level is. For a young student, typically children, I would have to cover the fundamentals of music while applying it to piano or flute to help them learn the notes, clefs, time signatures, key signatures, etc. For my lesson plans, it changes from student to student as each student is different and has different needs they need to focus on to better their musical experience.

Instruments: Piano Voice
My teaching experience has been with my church choir. I started out as the accompanist and helper. A year or so later I found myself in the conductor's seat. For two years I worked with my church's choir to bring out the best that they could be, and to bring joy to the congregation. Not only did I conduct the choir, but I was their accompanist as well. I tried to bring a mix of old and contemporary to the table because I believe being a well-rounded musician. Read More

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
The best way to know whether your child is get ready to start the lesson is let him/her try to having one lesson. We will never know their interest until they have tried. I have taught many young students, and their parents cannot clear know whether their children love music. Because they don't have many opportunities get close to learning it professionally, so why not let them try to have one lesson?
Some parents might consider that their children are too young to have lesson, and they are afraid that if they will have pressure of having lesson. My answer is no, because one of the most important goal in my lesson, is to let my students enjoy the music and lesson. I will do my best to help them learning knowledge in a happiness lesson mode.
When will I start to see results?
Actually, after each lesson you would have progress, while which is hard to see distinctively. For beginners, when you have learned the basic theory knowledge and several short pieces, from then, you will find you have a obvious progress and you can see your results. This process generally need to take two months for young students, (around one month for adults). If you are an intermediate or advanced student, to see the results usually depends on how long you can completely learn a new piece. Because for every new piece, finishing learning all the notes is just the beginning part, focusing on the all emotional expression is the rest part, that students have to spend more time working on, like dynamic changes, right rhythm, the control of melody lines, and so on. After you working on a new piece, you will find you have a great progress whatever from your technique skills aspect or understanding to the music.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
First of all, knowing well the whole new piece can help students learning it easily. Listening the piece with reading the score as much as you can before you start practicing will help you be familiar with all the notes, and avoid play the wrong notes.
I would like to encourage students set up the realistic goals for practicing, and make them into many smaller steps to reach. For example, if you are starting learning a new piece, firstly, you need to thinking how long do I need to finish learning it completely. And then, give yourself an answer, such as one week, which can be regarded as a realistic goals. Therefore, you have to divide this piece into several parts to learning and practicing. Persisting in practicing one part daily, (just thinking each part as the smaller steps) which will be the most easy and practical way to complete your new piece.
