My teaching experience dates back to college. I began teaching my friends (piano and ukulele), and helping them improve on their instruments! After I graduated college I received a job teaching private and group lesson, in Maryland. I taught piano, guitar, and violin classes and private in-home lessons! I enjoyed teaching my students not only the basics of an instrument, but also fun songs that they enjoyed playing! I enjoyed teaching knowledge of music and instruments, but I also enjoyed seeing my students improve as the days went by!

For my beginning students on piano, I like to start out with knowing finger numbers, practicing scales and introducing simple songs to help get the feel of how to play the piano. I then move on to, not only giving the student an option to tell me what songs they would like to learn, but also to songs that increase the note range! For guitar ukulele, I like to start out by introducing hand position and how to properly hold the guitar. From there I teach finger numbers, frets and how to properly play notes. I then like to give my student the option of picking a song of their choice, and work with them on the different notes. For vocal lessons, I like to start out doing warm-ups and finding the students vocal range. Once I have established that, I like to work on different songs to find the students best style!
