Instruments: Piano Trombone
My main objective as an educator is to share my enthusiasm for music and develop a lifelong love for music in my students. I do not have one specific style of teaching because I believe it to be my job to cater my teaching style to the learning style of my students. Every student has different objectives and interests. I do my best to help students learn what they are interested in while insuring they develop excellent fundamentals on their instrument and a strong knowledge of music theory. Read More

I encourage regular lesson attendance and practice at home. Consistency is key when learning and developing a new skill set especially when concerning younger students. I feel that the balance of establishing a strong technical foundation and fostering a love for music is fundamental in fostering passion and enthusiasm for new students. I try and find out what the student is interested in and tailor each lesson to their specific needs. Read More

While receiving my masters degree in Vocal Performance at the University of Kentucky I became a teacher at a youth arts academy, Academy for Creative Excellence. I never envisioned myself as a voice teacher, but as I grew to know my students and see the impact of the arts on their young lives it has become a true passion of mine.Since discovering my love for teaching voice, I myself have sung more musical theatre as it is the most popular genre I teach.

écoutez et répétez. Translation: hear and repeat. There is simply no better methodology in grasping and understanding an instructor’s directions so that a student, no matter what the age, can progress confidently and successfully. In addition, theoretical and historical subject matter is also introduced appropriately to keep him or her engaged continuously. Performances throughout the year, which include solos, duos, trios, and quartets will further inspire the student to progress even further. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I believe that each student has something unique to bring to the table, and that students should feel that they are valued because of their cultural identities, not in spite of them. I also believe that music in itself can be used as a means through which the world can be impacted for good. Bringing students to a positive outlet such as this, can bring about passion within themselves, for both music and other issues in the world, music being the way they express this passion and use it to send a message.

Instruments: Piano Synthesizer
I developed my passion for music because I fell in love with learning about different music genres. I also want to learn and understand the music interests of my students. Knowing this helps me develop lesson plans that revolve around that type of music. I want my students to be engaged, and I want them to be interested in what they play. This helps in the learning process; it becomes less of a work mindset, and more of a fun mindset. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
There are some ways I have taught for practicing effectively. One way I tell my students if there are having difficulties is to practice hands separately. Sometimes the melody has a difficult rhythm or there are many chord changes. Playing the song in sections is another effective practice. Taking four measure bars of music to play ten times or more is helpful. Some students play songs to quickly then slow down when the more difficult part comes up. Telling them start the song at a slower tempo should help with practicing. If they can play with accuracy slower, then they will gradually play faster to get up to the appropriate speed.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
A child is ready to start lessons if they are expressing an interest in learning an instrument. Many parents want their child to play an instrument for a variety of reasons. But if the child is not interested there might be trouble getting them to practice. Children can get very distracted easily, so being able to focus and sit for thirty minutes for the lesson and for practicing is ideal.
When will I start to see results?
Results will be different for each student. Some students progress faster than others, but some take more time and practice. Slower progress is not a bad thing. I think that every lesson the student should be learning something new. For beginners, the students start learning how to play the notes on the piano before reading the music on the paper. Depending on how quick (and how much practicing) they pick it up results should be seen within the first few weeks. I assign at least one song from the lesson book each week.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
From when I started playing piano to when I stopped in high school, I had the same teacher Faith Gaskell. She made the lessons fun by having games and prizes for passing each song or scale. She encouraged me and kept me interested in piano and music. My teachers in college, Olga and Janice, have really inspired me when I felt like giving up and believing in me. They knew that I am talented and encouraged me in private lessons and in public performances. Also other musicians who play many instruments inspire me to keep playing.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Growing up the instruments I mostly heard and saw people playing were string, brass, or percussion. My older brother played the violin. My other brother started playing piano but quit after a while. Initially I choose piano because my brother was playing. But as I started I really enjoyed playing the piano being inspired by my piano teachers. While I've tried to started learning another instrument (guitar) I just did not enjoy it enough to continue on to private lessons. I've always appreciated the love of playing the piano.
