Instruments: Piano Drums
I am a native of Fort Worth, TX. I began playing and singing at the age of 11. I participated in music during school from elementary to college. My accomplishments include placing first place in solo and ensemble, marching band contest, jazz band contest, etc. I have also established my own band and group who performs in the DFW metroplex. I have played in church since I was 12 years old. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
My teaching style is relaxed and encouraging. I find students typically do best in an environment where they feel comfortable and safe. I like to get to know each student's individual learning style and goals and then construct my lessons based on that. I enjoy every level of instruction, from playing early music reading games with 3 year olds, to helping high school students prepare for college music auditions, to helping adults become more confident at karaoke night. .....................................

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Ukulele Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
I believe communication is of the upmost importance. I communicate with parents to let them know how the student is doing, what we are working on, and what to do next. As mentioned above, I tailor to my student's needs based on their understanding and pace. Some students move a little slower than others in certain areas, and some move faster. For example, one student of the same age may understand sheet music quickly, but have a hard time with scales. Read More
Instruments: Piano
For beginning students, I usually start with the Faber Piano Adventures series. We also work on long-term pieces for festivals and recitals throughout the year if they are interested in playing for those. I strongly encourage them to participate in these, helping them to feel confident and secure in these performances. I will also pull in pieces from other methods or books when needed to fill in any gaps or work with any different learning styles. 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 Cello Music Keyboard
Depending on my student's age and skill level I usually have them begin with Suzuki books, Essential Elements books, or a combination of the two. As students advance I often incorporate etudes and/or exercises by Lee, Dotzauer, Galamian, Mooney, Sevcik, Duport, and Popper. While ear training is an essential skill that I teach to all of my students, the younger a student is the more I'll have them "play by ear" instead of reading sheet music. Read More
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 Organ Music Keyboard
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I was 7 when my Dad put a keyboard before me and I have been hopelessly hooked every since.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Not a teacher, but my Father. I was 7 years old when he placed a keyboard in my hand and it never departed thereafter. When I was 9, I took my babysitting money and paid for my own private lessons and walked 4 blocks each week to get to them. When I was 13, I started working at a nursing home afterschool and on weekends, and paid $1300.00 for my very own Kwai Organ. I loved singing and playing. However, my father always said it was not a good way of making a living or I believe it would have been my first vocation earlier in life. In that sense, the one who inspired me also discouraged me.
When will I start to see results?
Everyone and every class is different. However most students are playing recognizable songs and selections within a few months.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
The truth is, that is a hard thing to determine but there are tell tale signs that you can look for. Those include the child playing with their fingers and not their entire hand. Playing one key at a time instead of banging on the keys. Singing and pretending to play or actually picking up the right note for some songs. Sometimes just clapping in rhythm, singing with good pitch or banging something with good rhythm can be signs. Being able to sit still for small periods of time and good focus help. However, the best way of knowing is letting your child do a trial lesson with an instructor that is experienced in teaching that age group. They will be able to let you know if your child is ready or if 6 months to a year will make all the difference in the world!
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of seeing my students compete in school and local talent shows and complete national online testing and contests successfully. I even have some that have competed on America's got talent. If I were to say my greatest personal accomplishment is that I taught my own children (now grown) to play and I have 6 of my 8 grandchildren that also play. My grandkids range in age from 5 to 14. I never coerced them to play. Each of them came and asked to be taught one by one. Many of my colleagues cannot teach their own children. My grandchildren often play for our Church services and are paid well when they do.
