Music lessons can incorporate a variety of approaches depending on student preference and abilities. Some students love to read notation. I encourage these students to develop auditory skills through imitation games and improvisation. Other students play by ear and prefer to memorize all pieces. I encourage these students to learn to read notation and to look at the notes when playing familiar pieces. For young children, I create short musical tunes they can read using colors. Read More

I began teaching private cello lessons to beginner musicians at the age of fourteen. By the time I was eighteen, I was teaching intermediate-level musicians. I took a break from private teaching once I graduated from high school. This was so I could begin my job as an assistant marching band technician.

In addition, I was responsible for teaching low brass and low woodwinds the music for their halftime show as well as all the pep tunes each year. Read More

My teaching experience started several years ago when I was in high school. I was given the opportunity to teach some young beginning string players and I found that I really enjoyed seeing them develop and took great pride in their progress.

After college I started teaching private string lessons at a local music store. Read More

I've taught show tunes, pop, rock, and even video game music to my students. Read More

Music has always been my passion. I try to make every lesson fun and cater the music my students learn to their taste, because I have noticed that they learn more quickly and have fun doing so when it is music they enjoy. While being classically trained in one's instrument is important, what I find to be the most important is to make sure that I am able to pass along an enthusiasm for playing music! Read More
