I teach from my home studio. I teach private lessons and give my students my full attention which has proved to be the key to my continually increasing student enrollment and high retention rate. Music has been an integral part of my life, playing a major role in both my personal and professional life. I embrace the chance to be immersed in it, to share my enthusiasm for and expertise in the area of music education, promoting creative development and student performance skills. Read More

For children, my foundational methods include Leonard, Krueger, Clarke, Arban, Reinhardt, Rizzetto, Pearson, and Rubank. Solo and ensemble repertoire is introduced at the appropriate time. Time is also spent on improvisation, writing original compositions, and learning music that the students have brought to the lesson. For adults, we focus on what students are interested in working on, regardless of their ability level. Many adults want to spend part of the lesson working with the foundational methods, and spend part of the lesson learning one or two pieces of music. Read More

I create a lot of my teaching material my self, and I developed at Indiana University a reading method that emphasizes the similarities between the clefs and allows the student to have a global view of the staff. My lessons are very energetic and fast paced, I normally prefer if parents are present in lesson taking notes, and when possible, I even teach the parents before I teach the students, so we have a consistent learning environment at home as well.

My teaching journey began in and throughout college in 2016, when I began teaching lessons privately, and after receiving my second degree, I teach from my in-home studio. Since I began studying at a young age, I have a special love and passion for helping my students with the piano. Teaching students from five years to 75 years, I am thankful my teaching experience has been very diverse; I enjoy the challenge of an advanced student, and the energy of a new student; always looking to bring on new students of all ages.

I am well versed of the many piano method books out there for students today. I recommend to my younger students Alfreds Premier Piano Course or Fabers Piano Adventures. For my adult students, I recommend Alfreds All-in-One Adult Piano Course because it offers a coherent approach to a well-rounded music education at the piano. Once my students have grasped the fundamentals, I begin to introduce repertoire that fits their needs and wants. Read More

For all students, our first meeting will be an assessment to figure out where to start! I typically have students begin by playing something they are comfortable with that they enjoy, and we go from there. I am comfortable teaching a variety of methods and like to help the student achieve their individual goals, whatever those may be. I do like to supplement most teaching method books with some kind of scale/etude regimen depending on the level, to round out their practice throughout the week between lessons. 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.
