I believe in individualized learning. So each student will receive their own plan for their progression. Some materials I recommend for students are the rubank book for beginner.

For advanced students we could use anything from method books to cds to ear training and transposition to bring out the best in the learner. Read More

I strive to instill in my students the capacity to teach themselves; after all, it is in the practice room, not in the lesson studio, where the greatest leaps are made.

A strong foundation of fundamental mechanics and technique will open the doors to play any music in any style. Read More

I began teaching privately in college. I also was a teacher assistant to a music teacher at a local elementary school during my undergraduate years. Now as a professional educator, I teach middle school choir, private piano/violin lessons, play for my church, and, at times, direct my church choir as well. I love to encourage the art and discipline of practice and passion. I love to encourage students with recitals, awards, and celebrating each of their accomplishments on their journey of music education. Read More

Regular, thoughtful practice leads to the mastery of basic concepts and allows students to make progress. I believe in a holistic approach to teaching as body awareness and setup directly influence facility on the instrument and the ability to play with ease and comfort. I want my students to grow and learn as both musicians and people! I want my students to have fun and success with their musical endeavors! Read More
