Piano Lessons Mountain

Instruments: Piano

I strive to develop a customized learning approach for each of my students, depending on their needs and goals. I implement a combination of the Faber method, Alfred method, and compilations of works by talented piano pedagogs such as Keith Snell, Martha Ashleigh, Ingrid Jacobson Clarfield, Melody Bober, and Julie McIntosh Johnson. I have found that by using a combination of these resources I am able to focus on all eras of music history and style, as well as cover all bases of theory fundamentals. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Voice, Ukulele, Keyboard, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

My teaching style is based around having fun while learning important techniques. Some students will pick up a technique or a piece of music in one week, while another might struggle with the same piece for a whole month, and that's okay! I will never force a student to move on from something they feel less than great about, and with that ideology, I believe students gain the confidence that is so vital to the creative process of music making.

Instruments: Piano, Bass Guitar

For younger students, I use the Faber Piano Adventures and supplement with Classical and Jazz materials. I am very familiar with this method, as the Fabers were my teachers throughout high school and I taught for them at their piano Insitute in Ann Arbor, MI, for several years. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice

I started teaching voice part-time in college, and once I graduated took on a full time position teaching privately in my home studio, student’s homes, and in schools in Round Rock. Implementing the motivation and lesson plan to practice regularly is an important skill that can be learned while still having fun. I provide students the tools to help overcome stage fright, gain confidence, integrate performance technique, and feel better about singing while learning their favorite music! Students of mine have made the All-Region choir, All District auditions, choir solos, musical roles, and sang the national anthem for organizations.

Instruments: Piano, Violin

I started teaching private lessons at the age of 15. I am classically trained but do enjoy Celtic and fiddling music as well. I had the opportunity to voluntarily teach violin and cello at community center in 2017. I have also taught Suzuki group classes as well. I have received my Suzuki Teacher Training for Violin Books 1-6. I enjoy teaching all levels. Seeing others excel and progress is a great joy to me. Read More
