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 Violin Cello Viola Music Keyboard
After many successes, and many more failures, Ive learned what works and mainly what does not work. Ive always been the type of person to explore all options of solving technical or artistic issues in music. Ive been given many teaching tools from many different professors and have been teaching privately for around Ten years and in the public school system for around Three years. My teaching experience covers beginning players on violin, viola, cello, and piano to early advanced players on violin and piano. Read More

Instruments: Piano
My Teaching Philosophy centers on helping students develop a comprehensive understanding of music that will enable them to enjoy playing the piano . It is my desire that my students become lifelong independent music learners. Piano Methods I have used: Alfred's, Bastien, Piano Adventures For adults a favorite is Adult Piano Adventures. I like that it includes lessons, technic exercises and theory all in one book. I also use the Hanon book for warm-up exercises. Read More

Instruments: Piano Violin Cello Viola
I started teaching back in college. I had a private studio of violin and piano students. I then took on after school strings classes as well as maintaining my studio. I graduated from college in 2006 and then I bagan my career for the next 7 years as an orchestra director in the public school system, which I enjoyed. I realized that my true passion was teaching private lessons and having my own students. 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.
