My main music philosophy is to teach sound before sight: teach students to hear the music, and then read the notation. For beginners, I want them to become well acquainted with their instrument so I begin with the basic fundamentals, and then teach some traditional tunes before moving on to reading music. For students who can already read music, I like to work on sight-reading as well as finding solo repertoire that can be performed at recitals. Read More
Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Voice, Ukulele, Keyboard
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! Read More
Instruments: Voice
I have taught voice for about 6 years starting back in college with a class of vocal pedagogy where we each received a student to practice teaching. I instantly fell in love with teaching and I have been actively teaching since. I take pride in my ability to convey physiological ideas in a way that is easily understood and executable by my students. I am patience, but firm in my insistence in consistent practice. Read More

Upon a student's evaluation every lesson with any student should form it's own branch or life of it's own. Music is a passionate expression. I help students understand their instruments. Self expression, individualism, and self composition are traits I sought as a student and musician. My joy as a teacher, instructor and mentor is seeing the excitement someone achieves when they finally feel the "got it" or are starting to connect the dots. Read More
Instruments: Piano, Voice, Flute
When I think of teaching, I think of how rewarding it is to get to know each student and their families. I encourage parents to stay in the lesson (not required). There is so much to learn and see. My students each have a plan each week outlining not just WHAT to practice but HOW to practice. I often say if you practice HOW I am asking you to practice, you will learn a lot and progress.
