Instruments: Violin Cello Viola
I also use the Essentially Strings for some beginning cello students, depending on the student. As we progress in cello, they would need to purchase a scale book, possibly other Suzuki books, an etude book, as well as other individual pieces that they would learn. I am a very technically based teacher, so the basics and foundational methods are very important and would be the primary focus in the beginning, as we learn and gain comfort with all string instruments.

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

Im a devoted music educator who cares about my students personal growth and development as musicians. In 2010 I graduated from Evangel University with a Bachelors of Music Education degree with a concentration in strings. I have performed all over the U.S. in my collegiate touring orchestra and even had the opportunity to go to Europe and perform there as well. I have also been selected twice to perform with the Trans Siberian Orchestra as a part of their pit orchestra and have been involved as an active musician within my community. Read More

I began teaching private students in high school, and have been consistently teaching students in my studio for the past five years. Many of my students have gone on to be very successful in youth orchestras, school programs, and music conservatories. During my senior year at university, I had the opportunity to serve as a faculty member for my university's pre-college music program. In this role, I represented the university by providing musical instruction to young upper string students. 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
When teaching students how to play an instrument I always keep in mind my end vision: students realizing that music is not just about perfecting the technical skills required to play, but it’s about getting to express that which makes us human; our feelings, personalities, hopes and dreams, our realities. I am incredibly passionate about music; this is because it has always been a way for me to examine myself deeply, understand my strengths and weaknesses, and make sense of my existence. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I used to practice the piano five days a week, for one hour each time. I thought it was to much as a child. However, I would suggest to the parents that they reserve at least fifteen minutes to one half hour for practicing each weekly assignment, as well as, each prior assignment so the student gains the understanding and can see their own success. For adults, I would suggest ten minutes for warm up of finger scales, chord progressions and song choices, depending on ability at the time. If learning for the first time, I teach so we can play a favorite song together that is easier to play, again, so the student can see their success.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Any association with musicality is encouraged early. Whether singing in a kids choir, playing a recorder in school, even listening to music creates a desire to play a musical instrument. Parents are encouraged to sing along with their children and learn a musical instrument so they can play along with their child. My success has been with children in their early teens through the age of seventy. Children can learn music if it is fun, not work. When young children learn the game of baseball, they have to learn the basics, but it is sure fun. I do not charge for the first lesson, so if your child would like to play a musical instrument, I encourage it.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I recall one piano teacher, who had a home studio by Northeast High School. We always started with a few start beginning scales. Then, we played my last weeks song selection using music books appropriate for my level. What struck me was he always sat next to me pointing out ways to make transitions easier. He would show me, have me try it, then do it, then play together slowly. I learned the most during that period. He would always play the song selection as it should be played with feeling. Playing with feeling inspired me to continue my lifelong passion for music.
When will I start to see results?
I start the younger children slowly and keep it fun. They learn simple things they can play. I may be three notes that are part of a song they know from school. Children do not hit home runs in the first month of playing baseball.
The same goes for music and learning a musical instrument. If they like it, they will continue while it is fun. I encourage parents to stay positive about small gains, as they multiply over time. I would think you will know after the first month, taking your cue from your child, of course.
