Instruments: Violin
I feel immense joy and reward when I know that my students are discovering a new love for music, so I create a unique plan for each student that allows them to progress at their own pace. I set realistic goals with each student for what they hope to achieve by the next week, and I work together with them on how to practice. I love seeing students get excited when they realize how much they have improved, and I celebrate their accomplishments with them weekly. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
Hi, Im Peyton. I discovered my passion for music as a child and was involved in numerous state choirs, prestigious orchestras, and symphonies. In high school I trained with Dr Jacobson, one of the best pianists in this part of the country, and under director Dr Cobbs of the Tacoma Youth Symphony. Also in high school, I decided I was going to become a film composer and began my journey in the science of writing music. Read More
Instruments: Voice Violin
In 2014, I began teaching students privately. I taught multiple students of different ages, with a range from early childhood to late adulthood. Most of my students were beginners, and we worked together for over a year. By the end of our time together, they were able to play fairly advanced music for the time they had been playing, such as "La Folia" by Corelli and "Jesu, the Joy of Man's Desiring" by Bach.

I have been teaching since 2008 and have felt very blessed to see students develop a love for their instrument and music. I began as a junior instructor with a group of teachers who taught different instruments, where students had the opportunity to play in a band setting. A true rock and roll beginning, I absolutely loved playing in student bands, and teacher showcase bands such as the ZZ Top and Led Zeppelin tribute bands. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Create- and write down- goals that are attainable in however long you have to practice. There is no need for the frustration of cramming too much into too little time; if you feel crunched for time, limit the number or overall difficulty of goals you are aiming for. Many students cite past frustration in practicing in their reasoning for not wanting to practice. By creating a checklist of smaller goals, students can see that they really are accomplishing a lot even when it may not feel like it.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Learning to hold the instrument and bow! These are two of the first things we learn, and both are things that professionals still tinker and experiment with no matter how many years they have been playing- I might make the argument we never quite master it, but it definitely becomes second nature after a bit of time spent with the instrument. Neither the violin bow or instrument hold are things that feel completely natural at first, and a long time is spent reducing tension and making everything as comfortable as possible to reduce injury.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I would love to play in a production of Les Miserables. The show was one of the first I fell in love with in my early years of learning about theatre and the orchestral parts add so much depth to an already engaging story. In terms of strictly orchestral music, I hope to get the chance to play Gershwin's "An American In Paris" sometime in my career. I think it's a piece of music that can be enjoyed by longtime listeners of classical music and those who might just be getting a first introduction to the form. The blues melody in the middle has always held a special place in my heart.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite way to participate in music is as a musician for local musical theatre, especially musical theatre tailored to kids and young adults. Being able to contribute to the art forms of singing, acting, and dancing, further drives my belief that all art (not just music) can impact young lives in a meaningful way. Through the process of creating a musical theatre product, we learn about all the components that go into effective storytelling. I became a much more expressive and flexible player in my time playing musicals.
