My teaching experience spans 6 years. I've taught all ages, so I'm comfortable with everybodys learning pace. In college I studied under the Latin Grammy award winning La Catrina Quartet, and I hope to pass down the knowledge I gain from that experience to my students. With my students, I take them step by step through were they are as a musician, to were they need to be. My experience working in ensembles will also expand my students ability to play in groups of all sizes (which will often happen). Read More

One of the many advantages to private instruction, and what makes me so passionate about it, is that each student can move at their own speed. Private lessons should be tailored to the individual, so that the student can form a solid foundation. I believe in teaching students with encouragement and positivity, so that playing an instrument can be an enjoyable challenge, rather than a wretched slog. It is important to me that my students know I believe in them, and that our goals are agreed upon as a group. 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

I have been playing viola for almost 20 years and each day I grow more and more passionate for my instrument. I was born and raised in Dallas, Texas and began my musical studies on viola at the age 4. I graduated from Baylor University in 2013. While at Baylor University I was Principal of the Baylor Symphony and played with the Waco Symphony, Brazos Valley Symphony, and the San Angelo Symphony orchestras. Read More
Instruments: Violin Viola
I have learned a lot about myself by studying the masters of music, which inspired me to return the favor in my own instruction. It’s been a gift to witness the same process in my students: finding where your ceiling is and challenging that limitation with the help of your teacher. I always look forward to sharing my vision of music as a therapy for the soul, as a way of appreciating the art of expression, and what that can do for one’s life. Read More

My teaching style is more hands on approach, I have a lot of opportunities for my students to perform. I believe that actually playing the instrument will make them better players and performers. Even when a student sign up for private lessons, I have opportunities for them to perform in groups. I think that students learn better when they have the chance to perform in a group. I also hold master classes for the students to learn from. Read More

I will always set goals that I know are within reach for my students. I want to create an environment that will help them develop a passion for music in a way in which they are comfortable, not frustrated. In my mind I am always going to put the person first that I am teaching by trying to find out what inspires them. I will then assess and change my style accordingly. Read More

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had a teacher in high school that inspired me to study music in college. She was an amazing musician but she was also an all-around, kind, passionate, fun individual. She showed me that you could do lots of other things besides playing an instrument or study music. Studying music gives you this opportunity. You can still be a doctor and be a professional musician, you can still be a rock climber and study music in college. Choosing music as a career allowed me to fulfill all of my interests. Aside from being a musician and music teacher, I am also a yoga teacher, a coder, a visual artist. I can do so many different things because music has taught me discipline and determination for my wants and desires.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
First and foremost, self-reflection. Listen to other musicians play what you are practicing and decide that is how you want to sound. Start practicing with a plan and what is expected. Make a checklist and grab a kitchen timer. Lots of time can be wasted in practice by repeating the same thing over and over, to avoid this, choose 5 measures at a time that trouble you and set a timer for five minutes. Once the timer dings move on, it doesn't matter if you solved the problem or not, I promise by spending a focused five minutes on a passage progress has been made. If you have a younger child, make practicing fun. In my lessons, we can learn games to incorporate into practice and even determine ways practicing can be rewarded. Practicing for an hour is unrealistic for a younger student, but practicing for five minutes and then going outside to play and then practicing for another five minutes is much more realistic. Practice is not always fun, but it can be.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your student expresses interest, they are ready. Lessons can be tailored to whatever the students learning needs are. Age 3 might be too young for an instrument, but it isn't too young for music in general. Find a teacher that will meet your child where they are at and fill their desire to learn music or an instrument. If your child wants to only play Taylor Swift songs, as long as they understand they need to learn the fundamentals first, there is no reason the teacher should deny your child that desire.
When will I start to see results?
You will see results when practicing outside of the lesson takes place on a regular basis. Practice does not make perfect, but practice does make progress. Trust has to be put forth in the teacher, if your teacher asks you to practice one scale for five minutes, ask why and then go and do it. Knowing the reasoning behind why we are practicing can help us understand what we need to do to get the result we are all expecting. patience is key, instruments are extremely difficult, give yourself realistic goals and expectations. No one has ever left their first lesson sounding like a professional.
