For three summers in a row, I attended a summer program for opera in New Mexico. At LEOI, I got to work with coaches and instructors of excellent caliber and reputation in the opera world. I have also sung at Carnegie Hall with the University of Tulsa Capella Chamber Singers in which I was the soprano section leader for the year. I also worked at First Christian of Tulsa as a staff section leader and soloist. Read More

My biggest method I will focus on is learning music by ear and applying that to the other various aspects of music, like reading and writing. I feel that being able to play music fluently by ear is a skill most musicians tend to lack at times, and isn’t really a focus on in say a high school band or orchestra setting. I aim to teach listening methods, as well as reading, writing, and techniques methods on the desired instrument. Read More

For beginning piano students I typically use the Alfred Method. Once the student demonstrates a grasp of the fundamentals I introduce solo repertoire. For adults I typically use the John Thompson Adult Piano Course and we work together to find the solo repertoire. For voice lessons, I typically teach the bel canto style. I will work with vocalises that help develop breath control, placement and open vowels. I also use the Music Theory for Singers program to teach Music Theory and also use solfeggi to build sight singing skills. Read More

Each student is different, therefore each strategy varies. However, my overall goal is to have the student enjoy learning how to play their instrument as well as help grow their passion and love for music.

I started teaching private piano lessons back in 2002. Although, I have been teaching in some form since I was 15 years old. When I graduated from high school I started teaching music in a preschool. I found this to be so much fun. I taught young students rhythm using different instruments. I still today focus on the different rhythm patterns in music when learning a new song. I want my students to enjoy every song they learn so they will excel in their learning. Read More
