My teaching experience began while in college in Annville-Cleona and Palmyra School Districts in college and then after graduating with my job in Maryland with Prince George's County Schools. Most of those experiences were with general music classroom teaching with some private band instrumental teaching and directing. Most of my teaching experience has been with piano instruction and a little band instrumental instruction in my home studio since my resignation from that first music teaching job. Also, I've done a little directing of church adult and children's choirs.

I typically use the Alfred series of Piano Method materials to teach my piano students. Along with those materials, I add solo pieces for my students to learn as they progress. With my younger students especially, I enjoy introducing fun pieces for holidays throughout the year. I teach to my individual students abilities and interests to keep it engaging, enjoyable and fun too! I also try to teach music theory, mostly with my younger students, that requires the completion of written homework for lessons.
