I began teaching private lessons in 1989. My focus is to understand what learning style my students have and base my teaching methods on their individual needs. In college I studied pedagogies (teaching methods) for band, orchestra and majored in vocal and classroom education. Since achieving my degree in teaching kindergarten through 12th grade education, I have worked in Preschool, Elementary, Middle School, and High School settings as well with the elderly. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Cello
I've been studying cello for 16 years and have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music from Drake University. I am also on the substitute list in the Des Moines Symphony cello section as well as the Sioux City Symphony cello section. I enjoy teaching cello lessons because I can help students become better while also giving them a greater appreciation of music. In addition to this I enjoy how music can be interpreted different ways and I can teach the basics while also helping students create their own interpretations to music. Read More

For the past 20 years, I've studied and performed with keyboards, guitars and woodwind instruments while exploring a very wide variety of music ranging from classical and rock to jazz and avant-garde. Expanding and sharing that knowledge with other people in a helpful and friendly manner is something that I consummately enjoy- especially if they're beginning where I once was. My education includes a Bachelor of Music in Music Composition from DePaul University, and I've been working on my Music Education Certificate at UMSL since August 2014. Read More
