My first experience teaching music began immediately after graduation college and had continued to the present day. Originating as the music teacher at a girl's club the summer after my college graduation, my music profession soon began. There my eyes were opened to the benefits music has on children. This is also where I learned a lot about myself musically. While teaching music theory, choir & directing the summer musical started its cycle of my evolution here, this was only is beginning. I soon began to teach in school districts with larger numbers of classes & opportunities to have greater scaled productions. From these ashes my educational philosophy developed, which incorporates enjoyment, relationship building & expression of talent & student driven performance-based learning.

It is very important for students to understand the theory associated with their teaching. Therefore, students are constantly quizzed to verify cognitive relation to newly learned information. If students can connect the science & skill of knowledge it is retained long term. This encourages the student to think and respond quicker. ...keeps them on their toes. I teach for matey of information, therefore, I am always reviewing. In addition, as the student learn, I also play along with them on most occasions. This allows me the opportunity to understand first hand where mistakes are being made & offer suggestions instantaneously.
