BA, University of Texas San Antonio, Music
I am a fun, energetic, motivational music teacher. I have been performing for 23 years, and teaching for 15 years. I love working with students and seeing them succeed in learning music. Teaching music is definitly my passion. I especially love teaching beginners, but I teach students of all levels.
I started teaching back in college. I had a private studio of violin and piano students. I then took on after school strings classes as well as maintaining my studio. I graduated from college in 2006 and then I bagan my career for the next 7 years as an orchestra director in the public school system, which I enjoyed. I realized that my true passion was teaching private lessons and having my own students.
I have various methods. Really it depends on age when it comes to piano. 4-5 year olds I use Music For Little Mozarts or the Alfred Series. When teaching violin, viola, and cello I use Essential Elements for Strings and also the Suzuki books
I have a motivational teaching style. I really love to see the passion for music in my students and like to help them succeed in any way possible. I use positive reinforcement to keep my students motivated. I love to make games out of lessons so the lesson feels like fun.
