I started teaching towards the beginning of high school, primarily with my younger family members and the occasional churchgoer. I also began teaching adults when I started college, which was just as enjoyable. I primarily have traveled to my students' homes, but am more than happy to do online if needed! I believe I still have a lot to learn myself since I am constantly learning new things! I am passionate about making the experience fun and exciting because that is what music is to me! The more fun it is, the easier it is to practice and get experience!

I generally first start with finding out what my student is interested in. I have primarily used Alfred's Basic Piano Library with my younger students but am open to suggestions. I base my selection of each individual student, as long as the core fundamentals are used. I do enjoy the interactive workbooks for younger students, as I've seen repetition has a major effect. Writing out the information does help, even if it isn't written on the music itself. The books I used previously had a song to play, and a worksheet to go along with it as you learned each measure.
