Instruments: Piano Violin Cello Viola Music Keyboard
Post Baccalaureate Educator looking to provide guidance to musicians on their great musical journey. My degree is in Violin and Piano Performance. I studied with professors that graduated from Eastman, Manhattan, Michigan, Boston, and Curtis among many others. Ive always been interested in discovering the many ways one could teach an instrument. After learning piano from the age of 5 I started violin around 10 years old. I come from a family of non-musicians so my situation was quite special in the way I pursued music without the influence of family or friends. Read More

I have over nine years of teaching experience. I have taught all age ranges, from three years old to adult. I have worked as a beginning band teaching assistant and was part of the Western Kentucky University Double Reed Pre-college training program. I received pedagogy training from Dr. Michele Fiala, Martin Schuring, and Dr. Donald Speer. Read More

I like to create lesson plans around what kind of music the student wants to learn. For example, most young girls want to learn Disney princess songs. So I print them off their own copies of the songs that they had expressed an interest in learning. I feel like if the student is not interested in playing or singing the music that I am giving them it could be the best curriculum in the world, but it won't help them learn if they are not actively engaged in the music they are singing or playing.

Instruments: Piano Saxophone
I began teaching part-time in 2018, when I took on my first student in my final year at University. Since then, I have made a point to take on students who are eager to learn and excited about music. I have found during my time that every student loves to learn relevant skills that build toward an end goal, and I encourage my students to branch out and try things outside of our lessons to great success!

Instruments: Piano
My thirty years piano teaching experience began in Eagle Pass , Texas when my own piano teacher encouraged me to begin teaching my own students. I actually began my teaching experience by helping out my piano teacher's students' with their piano practice. By that time I had performed in piano recitals , played in the National Guild of Piano Teacher Auditions, and attended piano workshops with my piano teacher. My parents' and my piano teacher's encouragement was what gave me the confidence and motivation to pursue my education in music studies. Read More

When will I start to see results?
You can start seeing results immediately! Of course, there are some things that require more attention that others. Some bad habits are less noticeable and harder to break than others. But for other things, the difference can be like flipping a switch! There are a lot of things about singing well that are easy to understand. The problem is often that, unless someone points out what you're doing wrong, you can go your whole life without really noticing what it is. You might be able to listen to a recording of yourself and know that something is off, but figuring out what it is and how to fix it is a whole other issue. That is where getting a trained teacher can be so valuable.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Whether it's singing along with one of the middle vocal parts in Toto's "Africa," or singing Bass in a barbershop quartet, I always think it is so much fun to make harmonies. That is why I've been in so many choirs and small ensembles throughout my experience as a musician, and why my Ph.D dissertation is all about studying harmony.
Singing has also been a great help to my personal life. Improving your singing voice can be a very personal journey. There is no hiding faults, and no way to shift the blame to something else. But having the confidence to get up and sing in front of a crowd of people is a great skill to have. If you can sing in front of people, you will find that giving presentations at work, networking, and meeting new people all tend to come much easier.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
There is an old saying, "practice makes perfect." This isn't exactly true. If you practice in the wrong way, improvement can be very slow, or sometime reinforce bad habits. That is why having an instructor is so important. Conscious, planned practice is what makes perfect. You have to know which techniques you are practicing, and what to listen for in order to make sure that you are doing it right.
Another important thing to remember is not to overdo it. The voice is a delicate instrument, and it is easy to damage. 30 minutes a day practicing is plenty. The main thing is that you practice consistently. Without regular maintenance, good habits can break while bad ones creep back in.
