Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet Keyboard
My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons 16 years ago. During my international travels I had chance to teach in different countries like Poland, UK, Ireland and now USA. Because I graduated MA of classical performance my teachings were based on classical theory and practice but my passion is Jazz and I took classes and courses in School of Jazz and begun to teach this type of music as well.

Instruments: Piano Organ Keyboard
I like playing games and playing through music with the student. I have flash cards, sometimes we play concentration, war, find it on the keyboard, spoons, relay races. We use gross motor skills, with big floor keyboard, dance, etc. Sometimes we do note speller things, technique learning from books. Sometimes I record them so they can see their own progress. We adjust, we just have fun.When they start spelling words with note names and are able to write and find them on the keyboard and on the staff, then we begin composing our own music. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I want my students to enjoy playing the piano. There can be many times when piano teachers assign a student a piece without getting the input of the student. I feel that it is important to follow the method books, but also to allow the students to play a piece of their choosing that will encourage them to continue to play the piano. During the first few lessons with a student, I will get to know what musical styles they like and find music that they will enjoy playing on top of the music that I assign to them. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I tend to be more laid back and relaxed. I want students to feel comfortable making mistakes, improvisation and creating their own sounds without fear of harsh criticism. I set up goals for each student based on their interests and what I feel is going to help them advance. This will include genres they may not like but I want to give them experience with a variety of different sounds and rhythms. Read More
Instruments: Piano
A few years ago, I taught the piano for approximately three years. I stopped teaching for a while in order to pursue my Bachelor's Degree - beginning at Dixie State University, and I am now working to build my clientele again. I absolutely love to teach. One of my favorite moments with every students happens at around the 4th or 5th lesson, when the student then feels comfortable enough to begin to discuss with me some of their goals with the piano. (Some students open up a little sooner, and others take some time). Read More
Instruments: Piano
I fell in love with teaching the piano during my freshman year of high school. That was 8 years ago, and I have been teaching consistently from my home studio and online ever since then. I have found that there is a fine balance to be struck between structure and curiosity in helping a student cultivate their love for music. I make a point to help my students create consistent practice schedules while allowing them space to play with and explore the piano. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Flute
I play 3 different instruments. I originally started out on the flute. I played the flute during high shool and college. I studied under Karen , and Leslie Timmons. While I was at college, I became interested in Music Therapy. As part of the curriculum for Music Therapy, I also studied guitar and piano. I have worked as a music therapist and as a music teacher for many years. I have played in marching bands, orchestras, and symphonic bands. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I start by warming up with scales, rhythm exercises, and etudes. This helps promote a good foundation for future progression and goals. Afterwards, I focus on where my playing is weaker in a piece of music. I work on it over and over until you can confidently play it without issue. After that, I work on connecting that part I worked on with the rest of the piece of music. Sometimes after a while of this, it is helpful to just sight-read or arbitrarily play another piece of music for fun so my fingers and mind can have more flexibility and a break.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Chaconne, I remember first listening to a recording of it by Jascha Heifetz, it was so powerful and conveyed so well a sense of a story. Perhaps it was also because I have something with minor chords in beginning of compositions. After I learned the story of how Bach came to write that piece of music it gained more depth and beauty to me. While it is a difficult violin solo, I also enjoy a good challenge especially when it is something that means much to me.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started with piano when I was younger and I did enjoy it. My mom did not really get the chance when she was younger so she really wanted me to have that opportunity. Later when I was leaving elementary school I became fascinated with the violin. It was maybe because I wanted to enter orchestra in middle school with my friends or I just really liked the sound. I have to give kudos to my younger self because violin was one powerful way that helped me get through high school and really gave me an appreciation for music in later years.
When will I start to see results?
For me, it is when certain skills are ingrained in my muscle memory to a point I can do it without thinking too hard about it. It is when I have mastery over basic skills and techniques to the point my main focus is less on the building blocks of a piece of music and more on how it connects all together.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My orchestra teacher in high school and my private teacher were both strongly impacted me. They put so much patience and passion in their music and teaching that it was captivating and encouraging. The hard work and faith they had in me helped me progress to the point that I felt so much joy and freedom when I played. It is a legacy from them I wish to keep up.
