For young learners, I teach using Nancy and Randal Faber's Piano Adventures. For adults, I use the all-in-one Faber adult book. However, as early as possible, I like to get outside of the book and get a student learning a song they love. When it comes to learning piano (especially in the beginning), fun is a critical ingredient for success. In my lessons, I work with students through a lesson book, on repertoire they are interested outside the lesson book, on technique, music theory, and anything a student is interested in or curious about.

I enjoy teaching and watching musicians grow in their abilities. I like to give a solid base for a beginning musician to build upon while keeping lessons fun and interesting. Patience is the key, because I remember when I started playing and the more I practiced the better I became. I like to take our time and practice every exercise slowing until we become confident and then we will add some speed. Read More

Every student learns at their own pace, and in their own way. Discovering what type of learner your student is (kinesthetic, auditive, visual), is essential in providing examples and assignments for the student to work on. I do believe that with encouragement and patience, anyone can learn the noble art that is the language of music, you just have to find and fuel the student's interests, make that flame grow into a passion, and then lead with the example, 99% of the time the student will follow, the other 1% of the time you just need to get creative :) Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I've been teaching for over forty years. Many of my students have been successful in various auditions and life in general. There are many factors that enter into that, and I am happy to be one of those factors that helped them on their way. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I always loved piano. My parents both played and when I was three, we got a big old upright and I immediately started playing songs by ear. I also always loved to sing. But I did not start studying voice till college after discontinuing trumpet. I heard the other voice majors practicing art songs and opera arias in different languages, and I wanted to do that. So I changed my major to voice.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My high school band director was a phenomenal musician. I was a trumpet player and the only girl. (I don't play any more, so I don't teach trumpet.) I was always first chair; he never discriminated based on gender. So I developed confidence in my playing.
When will I start to see results?
You will begin to see results immediately, but if you are an adult learner, you might have unrealistic expectations. Keep in mind that adults can reason and analyze better than children and that most adults cover material much faster than children do. So don't get discouraged at first, when your brain is first learning to coordinate your eyes, hands, voice, etc. Give it at least six months and observe how far you have come.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Before a child can read, music lessons should just involve "play" - singing, improvisation, dancing, playing rhythm instruments. Most children are ready to begin reading music around the age of 8, some a little earlier. Always present music lessons as a fun activity, without giving your child a sense pressure. You may need to be physically present and support your child during practice, Always stay positive. Let the child progress at the pace they choose. If your child is begging for lessons, definitely start lessons then.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Schedule regular practice times, but also allow yourself to practice spontaneously. Spend a few minutes relaxing and/or improvising before you begin. Practice in short, regular sessions, and take breaks if doing longer sessions. Throughout your practicing, refresh your posture and stretch. Breathe. Your practice goals will differ depending on where you are in a piece of music. Sometimes you will need to practice small section; don't just run through a piece over and over again or you will 'program in' errors. Let yourself do a runthrough at the end of your sessions if you want; otherwise save run-throughs for after you have mastered technical difficulties. When you get close to a performance, imagine you are playing for an audience. Always encourage yourself. When you make errors, just let it register without being hard on yourself. Then calmly try again. Repetition is your friend if you take time to reflect between repetitions. There is so much more to say about practicing - I need to write a book about it!
