Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Ukulele Recorder Double Bass Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I take one lesson at a time while careful to scaffold the information. I want students to improve, but I also want them to know what it is that they must do in order to become a competent musician. I can be tough, but at the same time, I don't mind changing directions and moving from say, ear training to sight reading or some other approach. At the base, I believe that rhythm is the most important concern for a student. Read More
Instruments: Piano
A student (whatever age) must be comfortable with their teacher, especially when working on Skype or Zoom. From the beginning I always teach a natural technique, to create an easy atmosphere so that a student will feel at ease about asking any questions that may arise. It is so exciting to see young children suddenly playing with more agility, (5 finger exercises and chords helps) that we often smile together and will look back to see how much one has moved forward.

My primary goal as an instructor as well as a performer is to create a life long passion for music and personal growth within each of my students, and making sure that each student enjoys and looks forward to their lessons each week is intregal to this goal. Whether an adult, child, beginner, or advanced, realizing the students motivation and personal goals for each lesson is important to tailoring lessons to each persons unique abilities and preferences.

I started singing recreationally of my own volition at age 5, coming up with improvised musicals in my parents' living room and filming them with my mom's camcorder. I took advanced choir classes in middle school and high school and was the lead singer and rhythm guitarist for several rock bands throughout high school. I started learning guitar in 2006 and started learning piano in 2013. I am primarily a beginner-advanced voice teacher with secondary focus on beginner-intermediate piano and guitar. Read More

Each student gets a chance to listen, write, read, and play music at every lesson. The emphases of lesson materials will depend on the student's goals, but each element of music is important in its own right. It is also crucial to listen to other genres and styles that may be out of the scope of the lesson. Music is a complex and wonderful creation, and there have been many contributions to it over many years. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I recommend playing a piece that is known to give one the chance to start thinking musically. Then do technical studies for five to ten minutes (as appropriate to knowledge level). After that one should work on current literature that is being learnt. To end a session I would suggest playing something one likes to leave oneself with a positive feeling.
My favorite rule is the Eleven Minute rule. If you have trouble with a passage, or are trying to memorize something do it for eleven minutes and then stop and do something else such as play that sog you really like.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
1) When they have the desire to play
2) When they have suitable physical development to do so.
a) violin and piano can be started at three to four years of age if you are willing to put in the time to
teach them the discipline of practice without making them hate it
b) age six is a good time to start piano for the average child
c) age eight is the earliest I recommend starting guitar, but there are exceptions.
d) age ten is a good general age for beginning music, particularly for wind instruments.
3) If you want your child to play music talk to them about it before they reach the above ages and
and observe if they are getting excited about the idea.
When will I start to see results?
Results vary depending on the individual. However, if the student is eager for the next lesson this indicates that they are motivated. In general I give a student three months to see if they are making satisfactory progress. Results can be seen earlier but that is the point where I decide if a different approach should be used.
In 2002 I had two fifteen year old girls start guitar. Initially I thought girl A was going to excel and girl B was not going to do as well. At the end of three months they both showed good progress but girl A was more skilled. At the end of a year they were both equally matched. In the second year girl A dropped but girl B continued until she graduated from high school and in the end was the better musician.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
At age six I asked for piano lessons. I did not get them but my parents sporadically would guide me. No one individual inspired me I just wanted to play music from an early age.
When I started clarinet in fifth grade I admired my band teacher and followed what he said as if he was the fount of all knowledge.
I never did get the lessons I repeatedly asked for and so know what it is like to not have a skilled voice guide one to achieve ones musical goals. You can do a lot with teaching yourself but there are always gaps in your knowledge and skills because there is not someone there to guide you.
