Instruments: Piano
Helping students achieve their specific goals is very important to me! If they are passionate about a particular style of music, composer, or piece, I will help them reach that goal! I am willing to meet them wherever they are musically. I think it is important for the student to work on a variety of styles and pieces at any given time at their level, so they have a diverse musical palette. Read More

I possess excellent communication skills, that is to say, I listen well to my students before I speak. My students are free and encouraged to express their goals and they become comfortable doing so. They begin to understand that even though I am their instructor, we are working as a team and that my goals for them are directly tied to the goals they have set for themselves. I always use easy to understand and practical piano books chosen based on the student's experience, age, and goals. Read More

My methods vary student to student- we all learn differently and my objective is to find what works, wether it be a quick demonstration, or a complete breakdown right to the fundamentals. No student is too slow nor incapable. One of the things I really keep my eye on is technique- nothing is more detrimental to a student's progress than poor technique and adaptation! I can quickly spot these future difficulties, and help the student develop the proper means and WHY -with encouragement and positive reinforcement! Read More
Instruments: Piano
The bulk of my teaching experience comes from my college days where I taught secondary piano lessons to college undergraduates and children. My teaching style and methods were solidified in my graduate studies at Indiana University where I was an Associate Instructor of Piano. During this time, I taught group piano classes to music and non-music majors, private piano lessons to both graduate and undergraduate students, and worked as a counselor/practice coach for three summers at the prestigious piano summer festival Indiana University Piano Academy.

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, its important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. This is encouraged by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. And realistic practice time at home. By acknowledging their accomplishments, the students desire to progress grows immensely, making students eager to learn more. Learning what inspires the student allows me to give them a customized piano session that fits their wants and needs Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice at your own pace, but put in 30 minutes a day. Play through the exercise at least 3 times before going to the next. Repetition is the key to successful learning. Follow the assignments that are outline and be prepare for the next lesson.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
When your child enjoys listening to music and shows a desire to learn new things and has an inquiring mind, that child will be ready to take on new areas to grow. The child would need to know how to count and how to read at an elementary level.
When will I start to see results?
The results would be visible after the 3rd month of training. By then, the child would be reading his or her notes and should be moving up to level Alfred Level 1A by then. At this level, the child would be playing simple songs. Finger Numbering and the Scales would also be introduced. The child would be introduced to certain teaching aids which will increase their learning. Some of this would involve working with flash cards and the Alfred activity books which include coloring and doing fun exercises. The family is encouraged to participate with their children in these exercises.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I remember my 3rd grade and her name was Ms. Harris. My fellow class members and me were in a large class room and we worked on different subjects. What I remember most about her is that during class she use to gathering us around the piano in a big circle and she played while we sang different songs. She helped me gain a love for music. This is one teacher I'll never forget.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
As a small child, I had no ideal that I could play. I remember that my parents got me a small keyboard with a beginners book. I was picking up some of the notes on my own. I also remember other kids in my neighborhood who had piano's in their homes. I remember being in some of their homes and watching them play. I learned by memory and by ear and played what they played. The neighbors encourage my mother to start me on piano lessons. She got me a nice upright piano which was once a player piano and it was converted to a regular piano. It was an antique when she got it. She assigned me to Mr. Willis E Lee for Piano Lessons. I studied under him for 18 years until he had me worked up an accomplish, advance pianist. I was on college level when I left him.
