I do ask my students to set a goal and work to reach it. Furthermore, I do ask, but not require, my students to participate and perform in recitals - I have found recitals to be an invaluable teaching tool. My goal is for the student to enjoy their lessons so they stick with their piano lessons until it flows naturally and they hear the music - then they are hooked! Read More

Instruments: Piano Organ
My experience with teaching began during my undergraduate studies. I have worked with students in the classroom teaching elementary music as well as at the middle school and high school level teaching choir. In addition, I have taught my closest friends in piano and organ. While I was the staff accompanist at a high school, I taught the treble choir and gave piano and voice lessons during off-periods. I have thoroughly enjoyed teaching, especially when I see that students are inspired by music and are willing to take on the task of mastering their craft. Read More
Instruments: Flute Piccolo
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Set a practice schedule of what you want to work on. Do not waste time on replaying parts that are easy and only focus your time on the difficult parts. This will help you finish a practice session faster and efficiently.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child really wants to play flute and you see them struggling, have them start lessons as soon as possible. There may be a chance they will get frustrated and give up the flute because they dont have some one to teach them proper technique.
If your child is playing and trying to challenge themself, they may want to take lessons to excel faster in learning and learn difficult material.
When will I start to see results?
Each student learns at a different pace. Each week there will be goals and it is up to the student to practice out of lesson time in order apply techniques learned during lesson.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My elementary school teacher inspired me to play flute. She demonstrated each instrument and when she played pink panther on the flute, I was sold.
Each instructor I had inspired me to work harder to become a better player
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
The band teacher in elementary school played the Pink Panther theme and I wanted to learn how to play that piece. Eventually I practiced more and fell in love with it.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of making first chair in All State Band during high school. I practiced for hours each day and was determined to make it!
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Ive had students make it in to all count honor band, all state and received superior ratings a Solo and Ensemble. They followed my advice in the pieces and worked hard to apply those techniques.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Defintely the technical skills were difficult to develop but with practice over time became easier.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Trevor Wye method books, Taffanel method and Rubanks 1 and 2. The Trevor Wye and Taffanel have challenging tone and technical development and the Rubanks books are great for beginner-intermediate studies.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I start out with long tones, scales, technical warm ups and then I move on to specific parts in the pieces that are difficult for me and work on that.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite style is contemporary. It introduces modern techniques such as singing and playing flute or pitch bending to the flute.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started playing Oboe secondary because my school needed one in the other bands the school had to offer.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
From 4th grade, flute has been my escape from reality. If I was having a bad day I would sit down with my flute and practice. It made me happy. When I got into high school is when I realized that I wanted to make it my career.
