Instruments: Piano Violin Keyboard
I love teaching piano and violin lessons to students of all ages from beginner to upper intermediate levels. I studied piano performance with Robert Smith and violin performance with Percy Kalt at BYU; I have also studied with Jeffrey Shumway, former Head of Keyboard Studies, BYU and Carroll Meyer, Boise State University. These wonderful teachers guided and inspired me to attain and pass on classical technique and style to the next generation of musicians. Read More
Instruments: Piano
One thing I really enjoy about teaching is seeing my students find their love for music. This is why it is important for each student to feel accomplished at each lesson. This can be done by helping the student make and meet realistic goals that helps them see their progress and feel like they are continually moving forward. I always make a point to acknowledge and explain what specific things the students do right. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I employ methods from the Peery Piano Academy by Christie Skousen, as well as added techniques I have found to be most helpful. I utilize fun games, flashcards, and a rewards system that encourages my students to stay focused on the task at hand while learning and retaining new information. I keep an organized studio and adjust my teaching to each student according to age, goals, and skill level. I tend to bounce between different materials depending on the need of the student and have used Faber Faber, Alfred, and Keith Snell. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I'm a passionate and dedicated instructor who loves cultivating and sharing my love for music with others. I am currently a student at Brigham Young University studying psychology. I am the founder and director of the Timp Musicians performing group, and I have a great love for composing, arranging, and performing original works for the piano, instrument ensembles, and choirs. Outside of music, I love volleyball (and all things sports), anything outside (especially hiking), reading, and psychology. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Students are able to select their own music and share their interests with me. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Flute
I have taught guitar, piano, and flute for 30 years. The most important part of teaching is helping students to feel proud of their accomplishments and to enjoy music. I like to show my student''s performances through texting videos to their families as well as live concerts and recitals. I enjoy performing regularly as well. I have also worked as a music therapist in many different settings with a variety of different populations. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I'm currently attending school and majoring in both Piano Pedagogy and French Education. I love to play the piano and sharing my talents with other people. I have had many opportunities to perform in front of people. I love working with students and helping them to improve their musical abilities. My greatest achievements come from seeing the joy that piano can bring into students' lives. My goal every lesson is to get a smile from my students' faces. Read More
Instruments: Violin Viola
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
Certainly! I started out playing the violin as a child, just like many students do. It's a wonderful instrument that I enjoyed playing for many years. However, as I continued to explore the world of classical music, I became more and more fascinated by the rich and warm tones of the viola. I was drawn to its unique sound and the unique role it plays in orchestras and chamber music ensembles.
So, I decided to give the viola a try, and I instantly fell in love with it. The transition from violin to viola was a natural one for me because many of the skills and techniques I had developed on the violin were transferable to the viola. It allowed me to explore a different range and timbre of music, and I found it to be a rewarding and fulfilling experience.
I believe that having experience with both the violin and the viola allows me to provide a more comprehensive and well-rounded education to my students. It also allows me to better understand and address the unique challenges and opportunities that each instrument presents. So, while I started with the violin, my journey into playing the viola was a decision driven by my passion for music and my desire to share that passion with others, including your child.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes, music definitely runs in my family. I come from a rich musical background, and both of my parents have played significant roles in shaping my musical journey.
My mother was a classical music teacher, and her passion for teaching and music was truly inspirational. She introduced me to the world of classical music at a young age, fostering my love for the violin and viola. Her dedication to her students and her deep understanding of classical music greatly influenced my own teaching style.
On the other hand, my father was a conductor and a college professor of piano. His expertise in orchestral music and piano performance exposed me to a wide range of musical experiences. His guidance and insights into conducting techniques have been invaluable in my own musical development as well as in teaching my students.
As for my brother, he is a talented musician, but he leans more towards the jazz genre. He plays a different instrument and has explored the world of improvisation and jazz theory. While our musical paths have diverged somewhat, we still share a deep appreciation for music and often find common ground in our musical discussions.
So, in short, music is a fundamental part of our family heritage, and the love for classical music has been passed down through generations, thanks to the influence of my parents and the musical discussions and experiences shared with my brother.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I'm happy to share my journey with you and your child. Becoming a professional musician, especially in the classical field, is often a combination of gradual development and defining moments. For me, it was a bit of both.
I started playing the violin and viola at a young age, just like your child. Initially, it was a hobby and a source of joy. I loved the sound of the instruments and enjoyed practicing and performing. As I continued to study and grow as a musician, there were moments along the way that solidified my passion.
One of those defining moments was when I had the opportunity to perform with a professional orchestra as a young student. The experience of playing alongside seasoned musicians and making beautiful music together was incredibly inspiring. It showed me the possibilities of what I could achieve if I pursued a career in music.
Another important factor in my decision was the guidance and support of my parents, music teachers and mentors. They saw my potential and encouraged me to continue my studies, guiding me through the rigorous training required to become a professional musician.
So, while my love for music started early and grew gradually, it was these moments and the influence of my mother and father, and my mentors that helped me make the decision to pursue a career in classical music. It's a journey that requires dedication, passion, and continuous learning, and I'm excited to be a part of your child's musical education as they embark on their own unique path in the world of classical violin and viola.
