For my beginning students who are children, I like to start with Alfred's Music books based on the instrument they choose. They are specific, yet easy for kids to follow along with, and encourage practicing by making each song fun. For adults, we journey into what the student is interested in or inspired by, and then I guide my instruction accordingly to keep our lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level.

From 2004 - 2014 I taught all Band Instruments, Piano, Violin, and coached singing lessons at the McCord Gallery and Cultural Center in Palos Park, Illinois. I got start teaching lessons as 6th Grade Saxophonist. I was selected to tutor two students from the 5th Grade Beginning Band. When I began attending summer camp after 7th Grade, I loved learning enough to perform a concert by the end of each week of camp. Read More
Instruments: Voice
In a first lesson, I evaluate the student's skill level and discuss what kinds of music we would like to study. After this initial evaluation, I develop a personalized plan which addresses healthy vocal production and practice techniques which address the needs of the student. I tailor my instruction to each student's needs, accounting for various vocal needs, temperaments, and learning styles; therefore, I do not have a generic method. Read More

I blend the tried-and-true poise of classical technique with holistic approaches to satisfy two purposes: 1) the traditional desire to hone skill with practice and discipline, and 2) the psychological development of the student's independent musicianship. Music without expression is only sport. While technique, exercise, rigor, and history are essential in order to develop the deepest possible understanding of music, I aim to go beyond this to shape the independent expressionism of each student.

As an analyst I developed a fascination with the science and theory of music and as an intuitive person with the raw mysteries of improvised playing. I have a degree in Music Composition with a focus in piano and guitar. I have been teaching ever since I developed my own understanding of Music Theory. I have always been fascinated with teaching music to others and developing new ways of understanding. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trombone Euphonium Keyboard
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.

I then prepare a custom curriculum and that best fit them fits student. My Main goal is to assist my students in attaining their music and performance goals. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Cello Drums Bass Guitar Synthesizer Music Keyboard
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.

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.
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!

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.
