I did not officially start teaching music until after I graduated from Hill College. I have been playing the cello since I was 13 and singing since I was practically born. While attending college I was put in charge of my section in the choir in order to make sure that everyone knew their part. I would set up weekly times for all of us to meet and go over our parts. My fellow students enjoyed having me in charge because I made sure that they did not feel inferior. I was honestly just helping them by sharing my knowledge of music. And we all saw vast improvement. Upon graduating I auditioned for the Dallas Opera, but however was not accepted due to my lack of experience. I have had experience however in helping out with some local plays, musicals, or performances. I have been requested by several connections to come and have guest performances at church and such, and my colleagues and I go Christmas caroling at the local park every year! As long as I am able to use my talents to help others, or even if it is just for other's enjoyment, I know that I will lead a fulfilling musical career.

Music has always been my passion. I try to make every lesson fun and cater the music my students learn to their taste, because I have noticed that they learn more quickly and have fun doing so when it is music they enjoy. While being classically trained in one's instrument is important, what I find to be the most important is to make sure that I am able to pass along an enthusiasm for playing music! I tailor my lessons according to the individual student. Rarely will I ever assign one book, I will pick whichever songs I feel that will challenge my student, yet not so much as to not be fun.
