I want to give my student the experience of success from the start. With an appropriate printed resource, and audio recordings to listen to, they are equipped with the materials for self-study from the start. During the lesson itself, the student would be singing or playing at least half of the time. During this current stay-at-home lifestyle, I propose having lessons over Zoom. I would like to work toward a performance goal, such as playing at a recital, or playing in an ensemble. Read More

I teach private music lessons for five years.Every year I play piano and guitar with Woodland Park Holiday Home tour. Listeners always enjoy our playing. I'm appreciated by local musicians and students. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for playing music. I'm always looking to bring on new students of all ages! Read More

Instruments: Piano

I have been teaching piano for nearly ten years now. I know that every person is different and that there is not one right way to teach or to learn. I work to find things that work best for each student. I believe that reading music is a very important cornerstone in learning to play an instrument. Once we have achieved decent proficiency in it, I like to branch out beyond a basic method book into learning music chosen by my students because practicing is a lot more fun, and therefore more likely to happen regularly, if we're working on music that is fun as well as educational.

Up to this point I have taught mostly kids between the ages of 9 and 13. A lot of this experience was through the Community Education Program at Arapahoe Community College. I was hired there as a teacher the summer after I graduated from the school. The other students have been private instruction. I am a travelling instructor, meaning I teach at students houses and not in a studio. I am a diverse guitarist who is advanced on both the electric guitar and nylon string acoustic. Read More

I use various methods depending on the age and personality of a student. Methods that I use most are Bastien, Schaum, and Agay. I am able to teach out of nearly any method, and sometimes use a combination of different ones. I focus on technic by doing five finger patterns, scales, chords, and arpeggios, each of which are introduced individually once the student reaches certain abilities. For older and advanced intermediate students, I take more input on what pieces they like and construct lessons based on those. Read More
