Instruments: Violin Viola
I have been playing violin for more than a decade. I began teaching violin three years ago at the same music school I started my own studies in. I started as a summer chamber councilor and then began teaching students as a private instructor. I use mainly the Suzuki method, and other non-traditional methods. My goal is to have my students progress in their instrument, and not only gain important skills, but also grow to love music! Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola
I have been teaching violin and viola for the last six years. My main goal is to make sure that student is having a great time learning how to play an instrument while making sure the student understands good practice habits. I want to make sure that the student has fun in their lessons and I make it my main priority. If the student wants to learn jazz, I am well versed in jazz and can teach jazz. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola
Over my years of teaching, I have developed my own method for beginning students that caters to the individual student's needs and learning styles. Once the student has grasped the basic fundamentals, I start to introduce solo repertoire appropriate to their level, as well as focusing on learning proper technique. I believe that a very important part of my role as teacher is to guide the student on the route that they want to go. Read More
Instruments: Violin Viola
With children, I typically start with Essential Elements for Strings by Michael Allen, Robert Gillespie and Pamela Tellejohn Hayes. I complement that with the Suzuki method and other fun easy songs I have picked through the years of experience . Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce etudes, scales, vibrato and eventually shifting; and of course solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance.

Hey Guys, I'm a very enthusiastic person with a passion for teaching and love for knowledge. I graduate from NMSU with my BM in music performance in 2010. I've had great sucess and am well traveled when it comes to music. From symphonies to quartets, jazz ensembles to rock bands, I've done it all. I'm a recent Texas transplant and I really excited to begin working! Read More
Instruments: Violin Cello Viola
I typically use the Applebaum String Builder method books, and supplement with solo pieces as needed. I encourage regular practice, as students who feel they are progressing and doing well tend to enjoy their instrument more. As they become more advanced, they are encouraged to start giving opinions on what they want to learn. One thing that makes my studio unique is that I don't just teach how to play an instrument, I teach my students how to practice. Read More
Instruments: Violin Cello Viola
For the beginning string player I like to start with a Hal Leonard method book to communicate and help string players master the basics. Once the student has progressed I will begin some solo repertoire from varying genres. I find it is always helpful to allow students to play music that they enjoy - experiencing a range of both popular and classical pieces to broaden their horizons. I encourage my students to do a lot of listening as a part of their practice. Read More

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I start by doing a few stretches to free my body from tension. I often practice guitar scales and warm up my voice simultaneously. i concentrate on covering my vocal range using a variety of vowel sounds. After I've covered my basic range using a combination of vowel sounds with various consonants I work my way into the higher ranges using lip trills.
My average guitar warm up is covering the major scale using the metronome to gradually increase my speed. When I have more time I work my way through the modal scales and pentatonic scale. I then go on to practice whatever music I will be performing at the next gig.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
At an early age I became aware of the therapeutic benefits to listening to music. I was always curious about the reasons music is so powerful in improving mood in particular. As I went through difficult times in my life I noticed that I relied on music to improve my outlook. When I began reading about music therapy I realized that music has therapeutic benefits beyond what I had imagined. I enrolled at Howard University and studied music with a music therapy specialization.
I went on to earn a master’s in music therapy with guitar as my therapeutic instrument.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Many guitar students find the idea of playing lead guitar intimidating. However, once a student begins practicing scales they are on the way to being able to play lead melodies. The pentatonic or blues scale is the first scale that I introduce to students. When a guitarist becomes fluent with the scales learning lead guitar for rock or pop music becomes a lot easier.
Most beginner vocal students find singing with good pitch challenging because they can’t hear when they are out of key. Vocalist work on improving pitch through ear training. We are actually training our brain simultaneously. Very few people have “perfect pitch” naturally. As with all instruments we learn scales as part of our training. Vocalist need to practice scales on a regular basis to familiarize the brain with the intervals between pitches.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I use the Hal Leonard guitar method for students 6 years old and up. This book starts by teaching the notes on each string in the first position. Its gradual approach helps student to build up dexterity while learning basic theory and sight-reading.
The majority of my students learn by using Fake book style charts that I put make for them. i will give them a lyric sheet with diagrams of the chords on the same page. I will also give diagrams of the scales such as the Pentatonic and Major scales. The student collects song charts and Music theory in a 3 ring binder resulting in a personalized music book.
