Instruments: Piano
As a teacher nothing is more rewarding than seeing my students love and grow in their passion for music and the piano! I want them to feel like they are continuing to enjoy it most while growing at their own pace. It is important that we set goals so that we can continue seeing progress in their growth. The lessons I plan out for them are geared towards their continued progress in theory, technique, performance and scale work. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
Holding a PhD in Voice Literature and over 30 years experience of playing the piano as a professional, I can teach several vocal and musical styles. My lessons are custom-tailored to every student, their level of talent, their ambition and their idea of what they want to be and accomplish in their studies. When you study in my studio, there are no apologies, just acceptance of where you are at, and what you wish to accomplish. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I have different ways for different students. I will try to know how many students understand piano to avoid teaching the same things they already know. And help them find an adaptive way to practice to avoid boredom in learning. I will check and point out what's wrong and help students to fix and give new knowledge. I always teach as many as I can in every lesson. There is a goal for every student for their studying and in each lesson, there is a small goal to get. Read More

For beginning students, I usually start by creating a strong foundation in the student's mind of why they want to learn how to play an instrument and what goals, if any, they initially have for themselves. I then utilize this to help create individual based lesson plans that are driven by the inner workings of the student's mind. I incorporate music theory into every instrument at every skill level because I believe it to be something that is extremely important to understand and that not a lot of students are exposed to before they get to college.

For piano, I typically start of using Faber Piano Adventures paired with Edna Burnam's "A Dozen A Day." I like pairing the traditional lesson book - which focuses on the fundamentals and using familiar tunes to teach basic theory, note recognition, early technique, etc. with the Burnam exercises which gives the student tools to start incorporating other musical elements into their playing because these exercises become a warm-up routine instead of something to be checked off of a list.

I run a home piano studio and drive to students' homes throughout the greater Milwaukee area. My home studio equipment consists of a full size digital piano with recording capabilities. I also have an extensive piano music library that I regularly lend out to my students. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I first fell in love with the piano when I was 3 years old, but unfortunately was not able to start taking lessons until I was 11. When I was 16, friends and family started asking me to teach them to play and I developed a love for teaching. At college I decided to study piano teaching to become the best teacher possible. I am a member of the Music Teacher's National Association and the Wisconsin Music Teacher'sAssociation. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trombone
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
One of my proudest moments musically was being able to perform onstage at Carnegie Hall in New York City under conductor and composer John Rutter with my college choir! For one it gave me the opportunity to explore New York City, but also being able to perform a masterwork under the baton of the composer and seeing his thought process of how to get the sound he wanted was baffling.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
My other two instruments that I have studied over the years are piano and trombone. Piano I started playing and taking lessons for during my elementary school years, taking a hiatus from them during high school and picking them back up during college! My great grandma had a piano in her house that I would always mess around with and that habit stuck all the way to today! For trombone, the opportunity for me to start it up was presented by my high school's band teacher during my freshman year of high school. I took him up on the offer and have been playing ever since!
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I was originally going to pursue a Math Education degree before switching to Music Education, so would still be teaching most likely but a different subject.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I would love to one day learn and perform the entirety of the Songs of Travel song cycle by Ralph Vaughan Williams. I have already learned a third of the pieces throughout my colleges career, and each piece is so nuanced and fun to perform that it makes me want to learn and sing the full scope!
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a Music Education Degree for Choral and General Classrooms, meaning I am certified to teach all through K-12 in either general music topics or choir specifics. I originally was going to pursue MATH Education, but my love and passion to spread love for music outshined that path.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I have been a singer my entire life, so for me it was a natural choice! My mother and father were very musical people, as well as my siblings were always in choir or musical theater.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
A student can be at any age, but the main thing they need to have is an interest THEMSELVES to improve or experience more music. Forcing a student into lessons or ensembles when their heart really is not in it is the fastest path to burnout.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I am very fortunate to have all my teachers from my school years be very positive influences in my music journey. My elementary music teacher who I took piano lessons with, my middle and high school choir teacher who lead me through countless musicals and had faith in me to help out other members of the ensemble in sectionals, my high school band teacher who helped me bridge my choir experience into instrumental work, and so many more great educators were present and always willing to lend a helping hand.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Routine of practicing is important, but adding in working on material that brings you joy instead of the same warmups over and over again has you wanting to practice longer!
