Instruments: Piano Violin
I'm a passionate and motivated instructor who has the abilities to "awaken" the musical gifts of students with the desire to achieve a goal of musicianship. I graduated from Grambling State University with a Bachelor of Music Education and a Masters of Music from Jackson State University. I have had the opportunity to play with such symphonies such as the Shreveport Symphony, New Orleans Community Orchestra, Midland/Odessa Symphony, the EAC Symphony and I am now a member of the North Valley Symphony.

Instruments: Piano Violin Viola
I love to teach students music and help them grow both as people and musicians. In 2009, I graduated from Fresno Pacific University with a Bachelor's degree in Music Education, and my primary instruments were violin, viola, and piano. After graduation, I continued to maintain my home studio where I taught individual lessons, and I also taught elementary orchestra for Chandler Unified. Since having my 2 kids, I teach from home exclusively, and I play in various chamber groups throughout the Valley. Read More

I am a fun loving and patient instructor who enjoys seeing my passion for music spread to different people. In 2012 I earned a Bachelors in Psychology with a minor in music from Northern Arizona University, and went on to complete a Masters degree in Music Therapy from Arizona State University. I have experience performing in academic orchestras, choirs, and guitar ensembles, as well as with song writing and performing in local bands. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Mindful practice is key. You can play for 8 hours a day and not actually be practicing. Practicing is about quality and quantity, so I don't ever push minimum practice times on my students (though I may give suggestions). If the student needs to practice for 2 hours to feel improvement, that is their choice. If they only need 10 minutes, that is fine as well. As long as the student is not just going through the motions. A good example of this is practicing scales. This is where I find the least amount of quality practicing being done, because scales can be boring, and they are repetitive, and you can very easily zone out while playing through all three octaves. However, mindful practicing would be playing a scale with a goal in mind. Does the student need to work more on having equal tone when they play? Then when they warm up with scales, that's what they should be thinking about. Or maybe it's keeping time- then they would be focusing on that while they play. These things don't just apply to scales- just practicing in general. There should always be a purpose, that is the only way to gain quality improvement.
When will I start to see results?
This is difficult to answer because there is no set time frame. I can tell you that the first lesson or two at least won't show much. The first few lessons are more about the student getting to know the teacher, and the teacher getting to know the student and learning how we respond to each other. It also depends on the level the student is at before beginning lessons, because it is more difficult to gauge improvement in the more intermediate and advanced levels since it is less obvious and the work is more detailed and fine. The biggest factor to consider is the student's level of dedication. We could see dramatic improvement in just one lesson, or we may not see it for 5 weeks because they don't apply themselves as heavily or are in the middle of a busy time in their lives and don't have the time to practice as much. Based on my experience I would say improvement may begin around 3-4 weeks.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I did not have a teacher that inspired me to go into music, however I did have a teacher that inspired me to think about music differently as I go throughout my career. His philosophy when he taught his students was that he was not teaching people to be musicians; he was teaching musicians to be people. The way I like to think of this is that I know that not every student that comes into my studio is going to want to become professional or even want to continue past a certain point in their lives- the majority are learning instruments for curiosity. That's good enough. The whole idea is just to grow as a human being and learn something, learn to enjoy something, and to have fun. That is really what it is all about. All I want for my students is to at least come out of my lessons having learned hard work and determination, and that they can do anything they set their minds to- even if it isn't music.
