I'm a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music. In 2011, I graduated from the University of Denver with a Bachelor's Degree in Piano Performance. I gave two recitals at the Univeristy in 2010 and 2011, and performed Rhapsody in Blue with the Aurora Symphony Orchestra in 2010. I am a member of Music Teachers National Association and Suzuki Association of the Americas, and I am a certified Suzuki Piano Instructor. Read More

I love the many facets of music. My love of music, and my best practice, stems from a deep enjoyment of listening to music, as a consumer of sound. Developing my listening ear has been the most useful tool in all my years as a performer. I've played with academic ensembles in a choral setting, and done significant work in small ensemble classical guitar groupings. My most enjoyable long term academic ensemble, however, was the African Hand Percussion Ensemble, as while it had a very strict underlying structure for the cohesion of the group, it was deeply improvisational in nature, my favorite aspect of musical performance.

The best reward for me is to see how students progress. I am happy to know that I took part in that process. I also love helping students to understand the principles and applications of music theory, as well as to develop their ear with various aural skills and rhythm exercises. I strive to pass the life-long passion for music to my students in the hope that it will last for the rest of their lives. 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.

Then I was fortunate to teach my last 11 years in beautiful southern California where I taught instrumental music at elementary to high school levels. Read More
