My teach experience began in my freshman year of college when I worked as a string/theory instructor at the Lake Country Conservatory of Music in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin where I worked with students of all ages and skill levels. I have worked as a private instructor for almost eight years now and have only grown to love it more with every lesson that I conduct. Nothing fulfills me more than seeing a student perform, whether it is at a concert or competition, because seeing the musical and expressive growth that has been cultivated come out through the student is an absolutely beautiful experience.

I focus my instruction on technical and musical understanding of the materials. I do this by introducing pedagogical books such as Suzuki, Rick Mooney and Hal Leonard. These supplemental materials provide incremental instruction that is advantageous for the beginning student. I pair these books with technical exercises such as scales and arpeggios. These exercises provide a technical understanding that allows the student to accomplish their own musical goals. I always make sure that the student understands the relationship between these technical exercises and their own musical vision. 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

While I try to follow a mostly K12 standard structure to my private lessons at the end of the day I will be tailoring my instruction to my students wants and needs. I like to set attainable weekly goals with my students in regards to technique and style that will be implemented via exercises, scales and into our repertoire. I will work with all students to create a consistent and thoughtful practice schedule and routine to best fit students individual schedules and musical goals. Read More
