This will vary given the student's abilities and particular intentions for study. In general, I focus on five distinct areas of learning: technique, theoretical understanding, reading, intuitive playing/learning by ear, and performance. I like to keep each lesson fluid and organized, by maintaining structure within segments of study. Within these segments we may venture into something unanticipated, so long as the student expresses interest, readiness, and the ability to learn. Read More

I graduated from East Carolina University in 2016 with my Bachelors of Music in Music Education. Since then I have taught in music studios, public school settings, and private lessons. Finding the individual way each student best understands and develops their ability and love for music is my specialty and I believe the best way to learn is while having fun! I have experience teaching students of all ages, from early elementary students to adults wanting to learn more. Read More

I am a highly motivated, hard-working, and outgoing individual. I love people and believe thatteachingmusic lessons is one the best ways to connect with students of all ages and develop a relationship with them. I started learning piano in Kindergarten, began Saxophone in my 5th grade Band, and started tutoring other band students in 6th Grade. In 7th Grade I earned scholarship to attend Illinois Summer Youth Music Camp at the University of Illinois. Read More

I love music. I still find joy and challenges every time I play. I began studying at a very young age and alot of things are imbedded in my soul. Listening is the most important gift we can give ourselves. Whether in music or in life we can all teach ourselves the gift of listening. I think experiencing the thing we call music is beyond theory. My time in school was nothing next to the thousands of gigs I have accumulated in my 45 years doing music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trombone
For beginners, I start with basic scale structure and an introdction to ear training. Solo repertoire is then added to the mix. For adults, I try to find what the student is interested in and guide my instruction accordingly. Always keep lessons fun, no matter what! Read More

My teaching experience began in 2008, when I began teaching private lessons on various instruments, on voice, and on conducting. I later went on to teach band and choir at Cedar Bluff High School in 2011. After this, I volunteered as the band director at Valley Head High School in 2014. I have enjoyed every moment of teaching music and have taken so much from the experiences that I've had. If I was to emphasize anything about learning the art, it would be the understanding of interpretation and how to make any music into something that is uniquely yours. Read More

As beginners, I recommend the first Hal Leonard Essential Elements Band books with EEi. The EEi feature allows students to access online features that coordinate with their private lessons and enhance their ability to learn. As students progress through the book, I add solo repertoire to the student's EEi account so they can both hear it played and record their own performance of each work of band music. Guitar students start with Essential Elements, piano students begin with Piano Adventures/Adult Piano Adventures, and both offer interactive online components which enhance the student's resources and ability to practice and learn between lessons.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Cello has a deep, rich, and beautiful sound with the potential for such a wide range of music, some of which has not even been written yet. I consider myself a musical explorer and, having already played piano for five years at the time, I took up cello to give myself more opportunities to dig deep into music.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I think the hardest thing to master on any instrument is deep, vulnerable expression. Music is such an emotional art form and it takes a deep commitment from any musician of any skill level to evoke such a deep and personal performance.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
In teaching piano, I prefer to use the books by Faber&Faber. These were the books that I used growing up and I find that, especially for kids, they make learning piano that much more fun. In teaching cello, I prefer not to teach out of books but instead to gather many different materials from different sources and see what will help students make progress in the way that is clearest for them to understand. For example, some students learn better from Dotzauer than from Popper, or from Haydn than from Saint-Saens.
When will I start to see results?
Parents of previous students and even students themselves have told me that they knew their lessons were "working" because they would come home from their lesson and immediately want to go practice. If you are a parent of a student, you might not always see the results you're looking for until you see your student perform in a recital. "Results" is also such a widely-defined term that, in my opinion, it is different for every student.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Children tend to demonstrate musical interest from a young age, though you may need to look for it. If there are instruments in the house, let them play with them and see how they respond, or see if they play with them without your prompting. I started piano at five years old after a year or so of banging out unintelligible chords on the baby grand piano in my grandparents house and singing songs from church as if I was accompanying myself. Other children will go around humming or singing to themselves, or even banging out "drum beats" with kitchen items.
Other than having an apparent affinity for music, most children are ready for lessons when they are able to pay attention to something for more than half an hour to an hour at a time.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing for long periods of time does not equal practicing effectively or efficiently. If you target issues and the tools to solve them, efficient practicing could be done in less than an hour per day. Everyone practices differently, everyone learns differently, and what works for others (or what someone else tells you will work) might not work for you.

Rachel
I'm looking for voice lessons for my 8-year-old daughter. She is currently taking piano lessons elsewhere, but we might be interested in changing to another teacher.
Jennifer
My 7 year old daughter is interested in voice lessons. She loves to sing . . . not so good at it right now! No choir in her school, so interested in options. Thank you!
Noelle
I'm hoping to grow in strength & precision, to further develop my ear for difficult harmonies, and to broaden the scope of musical styles I am able to proficiently sing.
