My teaching experience began in middle school. I asked my orchestra teacher if I would be able to help mentor some of the other students when they needed added help and he said absolutely and my love of teaching began there. I mentored all through middle school and all through high school and was first chair multiple times during those years.

For young beginning students, fun and creativity is very important! Consistency is also necessary. Regular, thoughtful practice leads to the mastery of basic concepts and allows students to make progress.

Since I have a variety of instruments and style I teach and since the needs of each student are different, I structure my materials and teaching methods for the individual. I particularly enjoy teaching beginners and young children. I've taught piano from many books including John Thompson books and Hal Leonard Series. Both my mother and grandmother were pianists and teachers. The teach classical guitar from the newer Aaron Shearer books (Mel Bay) and beginning guitar from my own books and other beginning guitar books (especially Mel Bay). Read More
