When creating lesson plans for classes or for individual lessons, I customize and design the lessons to fit the needs of the students. I always interview the students and set goals to know where they want to go so that all of our work is geared towards there individual success and improvement. I utilize various methods books depending on the students abilities. I also heavily utilize the Kodaly method and the Orff Method when teaching. Read More

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with a compilation of books that I have founded very helpful through my research in methods or etudes. There is a goal per lesson which should be aproached easily to practice. 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. Read More

I have loved singing since I could first talk! I grew up singing in choirs, shows, and church. When I attended the Governor's School for the Arts in Norfolk, VA for high school, I realized that music and singing would be my career path for life. There, I was classically trained and learned to sing opera. I went on to complete my Bachelor's degree and Master's degree in voice. I am excited to have moved to Chicago with my husband, Sean.

I had a wonderful opportunity to start teaching piano at the same place that I took piano throughout high school KD Music Arts, about 8 years ago. Since then, Ive taught piano and voice to students a variety of ageskids and adults! I love arranging my younger students favorite songs that they hear on the radio so they can play them on the piano, sometimes even playing rhythm video games on my Nintendo 3DS to brush up on their music theory skills :) I want my students to finish a lesson feeling like the possibilities that they have with music are endless.

I believe students must first acquire competence in theory and proper technique, followed by artistic expression. My teaching style is encouraging, patient, thorough, nurturing, engaging, challenging and fun. To progress, students must practice daily. I let my students know that quality and focus of practice is far more important than duration. They learn to isolate 2 or 3 measures, and repeat them slowly until accuaracy is achieved consistently. I convey my love of teaching by: complimenting students on achieving goals, smiling, being energetic, making sure the student lets me know when he/she does not understand a concept and re-explaing it until it is understood with gentleness and patience, bringing in adjunct music from which the student, after hearing me play several excerpts, can select several pieces, playing duets with the student, and encouraging students to compose their own songs by ear, which I later notate.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I am really the only one of my siblings that stuck with music. One of my brother started piano when he was younger, but was not interested like I was. My other brother played violin and piano and he even wrote some music too.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
When I was seven I wanted to play the piano because my brother was taking lessons. My brother stopped after a while, but I continued for several years performing for school recitals and church. Along with music classes I developed a love and talent for music. During junior high, there were many teachers leaving. Because there were other extracurricular activities I was involved in, I stopped playing the piano in high school. After graduating high school was when I decided to become a professional musician. I didn't really remember being good at or wanting to do anything else in school other than playing piano.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
Piano is my primary instrument that I play and want to teach. In college I decided to try a group guitar class because I wanted to learn to play more instruments. My mom had an old guitar that I could use. Being with many other students and not getting enough individual help in the class, I didn't pick it up as easily as I did piano. I also take voice lessons along with piano. If I had to pick another instrument to play now, I would want to learn violin inspired by the violinist Lindsey Stirling.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I weren't a musician I do not know what I would want to do. That was what I was struggling with when senior year of high school and after I graduated. I was taking general education courses for a few years before taking piano and voice lesson and decided on a music career.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
This is a difficult question because I do not really prefer on style/genre over the other. I love to play the various style and genres of music because it diversifies the repertoire. I do enjoy playing some popular songs or movie/tv themes. I definitely have a newfound appreciation for classical when I started college. I did not really like classical music growing up because I thought it was all boring and sounded the same. I have not really played a lot of jazz music so that would be an interesting genre of music to start playing.
