I love teaching, and I firmly believe that almost anyone can be taught to do almost anything! I have music degrees from Hope College in Holland, Michigan, and USF in Tampa, Florida. After teaching at Hope for 6 years, I joined the Air Force to play with the world-class musicians that make up their bands. I spent 8 1/2 years in Colorado Springs stationed at Peterson AFB, and I loved it! I then moved to Illinois to be stationed at Scott AFB, playing with the USAF Band of Mid-America. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Guitar

My students learn a lot of valuable information right from the very first lessons.  We work towards building up a repertoire of songs they can really play from memory.  I teach a vast array of styles and genres. Everything from beginner Suzuki to Chopin pieces that are over 10 minutes long! I also enjoy songwriting, lyric writing, ear training, and studying harmony. I won't pass over the core subjects of sight reading, repertoire, and technique. Read More

I am 74 years young, have been married for 42 years, have six children, two birth and four adopted from Ethiopia, live near Parker on a 5-acre property with 4 horses, several dogs and a husband. I am healthy, flexible and friendly. I play with a flutist at several assisted living facilities. We play the oldies, a couple of classical pieces, a march, a polka and seasonal music that the residents recognize (at least they recognize most of the songs). Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice

Every student is assigned music.  Beginning students often start in lesson books.  I use the Bastien book series for my youngest students, Alfred books for ages 6-11, and Bastien Books for students older.  As students grow and become more advanced I also assign solo pieces from other sources to supplement a students progress.  I tailor every lesson to fit a students particular strengths and weaknesses and no two lessons are ever the same.  For all levels I try to make the lessons fun and interesting.

My method of teaching is that I always start from the theoretical part of every instrument or skill I teach because if they don’t have the background understanding they will be limited in their performances. I motivate by telling them my story how I started with no instrument I used borrow a two octaves keyboard from a choir member just to learn the piano my self I had no internet and no money so if I was able to learn in that condition they can do better.I teach the secrets of becoming a professional musician or music producer which one of them is consistency.
