Instruments: Piano
I began playing piano at age 5 and played for church since age 12. I graduated with two piano performance degrees with one of the greatest pianist of our generation,Valery Kuleshov. Throughout my classical music career, I have particpated in several well-known music festivals, masterclasses, and performance venues including The Classics on Disney Boardwalkanda performance with the Imperial Symphony. I began teaching during my undergraduate degree and have taught privately for the past 10 years. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music
My voice and piano studio was established in the summer of 2018 with the desire to provide quality piano and musical theatre coaching/training to the Kansas City area. Growing up, musical theatre and piano lessons were an essential outlet for me as I explored the world around me and within me. I teach because of my desire to share the life-changing experiences the performing arts has to offer with the next generation of performers. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute Piccolo
For my methods, it depends on the age of the student and what their ability level is. For a young student, typically children, I would have to cover the fundamentals of music while applying it to piano or flute to help them learn the notes, clefs, time signatures, key signatures, etc. For my lesson plans, it changes from student to student as each student is different and has different needs they need to focus on to better their musical experience.

Instruments: Piano
Helping students to stimulating their interests of learning music is one of the most important thing! Therefore, I will give them enough space to find and develop their interest. I will help them to set up many realistic goals in each lesson, and bring them more passion for learning and practicing. I will be patient to all my students, even towards their mistake. Making mistake is not a bad thing during studying, the way to correct and keep learning is much more valuable. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Synthesizer Keyboard
I'm a passionate and dedicated instructor who believes in the power of music to free your self expression! I started learning piano at age 6 and never stopped. I've been playing over 20 years as a soloist, accompaniment and for church services. I also sang in the school choir starting in middle school, but I've been singing and writing poetry pretty much my entire life. About 6 years ago I started pairing piano with voice to write and perform original music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Saxophone Flute Drums Bass Guitar Ukulele Mandolin Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I believe in a student learning to hear music and think for themselves. Through ear training, creativity, and learning "how" music works, the goal is to get each student to not need a teacher to learn their instrument, but want a teacher so they may become their best version of it. I focus on this as a primary value in my studio. In lessons, we'll use formulas and concepts to understand "why" things sound good, and "how" we actually get better. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Writing down your schedule out (proven for me at least). Practicing your weakest area of playing first. I have also noticed that the most effective way to get the most out of your practice time is to completely focus on the task at hand. That means no social media, television, or other distractions that happens to all musicians. On top of having no distractions, another way of practicing effectively is to practice consistently and do it everyday. I believe the more daily a musician practices, the better results he/she gets. By that I mean it is better to practice everyday for an hour, rather than practicing 3-4 hours a day every other day or two. To summarize, the best advice I have for effective practice is: writing out your practice schedule, focusing first on your weakest areas, cutting out all forms of distractions, and of course, practicing everyday for a hour or less, rather than cramming three days out of the week.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If the child is wanting to improve his or her skills, can be focused for 10 minutes at a time, I believe the student is ready to start lessons. Your child must want and have the desire to be taking lessons. In my opinion, the desire for music lessons must come from the student, not the parents. I have seen too much from my other friends and while I was tutoring, that many children are forced into taking after school tutoring/music lessons. A child must be completely obsessed with music and must be willing to pay attention and focus at practicing and honing their skills to improve everyday. If a child shows these traits, then I believe they will be ready to start lessons.
When will I start to see results?
It depends on the ability and effort on the student. I will provide the fundamental foundation (scales, sight reading, techniques, music library, sight syncopated rhythms) to a student so they can improve at their skills. I will do my best to explain to the student why it is important to practice these difficult skills/passages/rhythms. I will do my best to ensure I give the necessary tools to all of my students so they can improve as musicians. IF the student sits down, and practices everything I hand at them, parents can expect to see results in about a week or so. The more determined a student is, the faster he/she will improve.
