Instruments: Piano Voice Synthesizer Keyboard
I work to deconstruct this notion and help to build confidence in their ability to learn and develop. Positive affirmation is how I work. I believe focusing on the strengths of a student while working to develop past what may be perceived as weaknesses is paramount to cultivating a life long relationship with music. Although I am a stickler for practicing, I do this because we are setting goals for each lesson and the only way to reach these goals is through consistent practice. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I believe each student has unique gifts. I love watching my students thrive by encouraging self-exploration as we learn about music. If a student loves playing by ear, we seek knowledge of composition more, if they are inspired to play Star Wars, we add that to the repertoire. If a good solid foundation is built through the sequential lesson books along with motivating material, retention is higher. Encouragement of progression at his or her own pace by understanding each students gifts, along with realistic goals and practice, aids in well rounded musicians. Read More

Hey there, I'm Sky! I play a lot of instruments, compose scores for TV and games, make beats, produce other people's stuff - if music is involved, I tend to be involved. I've studied with a number of phenomenal teachers in the classical, jazz, and eclectic performance and producing world and my students regularly excel in competitions, ensembles, auditions, and creating/producing their own music! Somewhere along the line, it became obvious that my life is only complete when Im making music. Read More
Instruments: Piano
The method I use in my studio is individually tailored to each student and the student's goal. I have found the the encouragement of each student's goals the best way to inspire them to learn. Seeing my students discover new and exciting realizations is the most rewarding part of teaching piano, and if I can impart some of the understanding I have to help them grow creatively then I have succeeded.

From there we move on: Beginner students will work on basic fundamentals. Advanced students will work on the chosen piano piece. Afterwards will discuss what next lesson's goal will be. In order for students to achieve their goals, both long-term and short-term, it is expected of them to practice at least 30 minutes a day. For beginner students who are children, I would like them to work up to 30 minutes. I would suggest starting with 10 - 15 minutes of practice time everyday. Read More
Instruments: Flute
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Always, and I mean always, begin with long tones. Nothing is more important than working on your embouchure muscles. You can be the best flute player in the world, but if you have bad tone, you will always be considered less than mediocre. The great part about long tones and tonal exercises is that there's so many out there to try out and do! You never have to stick to just one exercise! When you have found at least one tonal exercise you feel comfortable with, you can add on more difficult tonal warm ups to your practice routine.
When will I start to see results?
The tricky thing with results is that everybody sees results differently. For me, a student being able to learn how to play a G in tune is results. You're learning and training your ear to recognize the correct pitch and balance on your instrument. Some people would say playing a G in tune isn't progress or any type of result at all. I say, if you are walking away with new knowledge on your instrument, you're already gaining results. The best part of all of this, you never stop improving therefor you can always keep reaching for better results.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I've had the opportunity to work with many teachers and professors that were, and are, involved with music. The one that inspired me most was my high school band director. He told me to not let anybody or anything stop me from wanting to teach music. I had a lot of people in my life try and convince me to not study music, but I never let those voices stop me thanks to my teachers words. More than anyone, I believe my biggest inspiration is myself. I've worked hard to obtain scholarships to study my passion and seek help when I needed it. No one could have given me the success I have if it wasn't for me. You can be your biggest inspiration, or your biggest enemy.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
My biggest rule in life is, "Am I enjoying this?" If the answer is no, then it's time to sit down and consider whether or not this is a good idea. When it comes to music, I believe anybody is ready to begin lessons as long as they are the one insisting on wanting to do it. If you are a parent forcing your child to do lessons, everybody in the process will suffer. You, the student, and the teacher. If the student is nervous and shy to begin, I promise you, lessons become more than just lessons, they become a form of therapy and a source to escape the real world for a while. As long as the student is wanting lessons, then you're definitely ready!
