Instruments: Piano Voice
For beginning piano students I typically start with Faber's piano adventure series--I typically have students work through the lesson, performance, and theory books while providing them with additional repertoire on the side (pop, disney, classical pieces etc.) For voice students, I typically spend about a third of the lesson working on technique--proper breathing, posture, extending range, working on tone quality etc. Then the rest of the lesson is spent working on solo song repertoire.

I believe communication is of the upmost importance. I communicate with parents to let them know how the student is doing, what we are working on, and what to do next. As mentioned above, I tailor to my student's needs based on their understanding and pace. Some students move a little slower than others in certain areas, and some move faster. For example, one student of the same age may understand sheet music quickly, but have a hard time with scales. Read More

I have been teaching music in the public schools and private lessons for the past 7 years. I love teaching children and people of all ages how to play and enjoy music! I graduated from the University of Maryland (College Park) in 2009 and I am currently obtaining my Master's in Special Education from Bowie State University. Piano and voice are my primary instruments, but I can also teach beginner guitar, clarinet and violin. Read More

Over the course of my career, I have refined his teaching methods to become very effective at taking complex information and breaking it up into simple steps. This approach has allowed me to achieve a high record of success in learning and performing music. Read More
Instruments: Voice
I have been teaching private voice since 1991. Along with teaching privately out of my home, over the years I have served on faculty as an adjunct voice professor at the college and university level, and have taught private voice in school districts for their junior high and high school choirs. My own children study with me and are performing regularly in musical theater productions and choirs. I love helping singers discover their beautiful, God-given singing voice and watching it blossom as they consistently practice and apply the techniques. Read More

Lastly, support and accountability are also integral parts of my teaching style. Even in individual lessons, I foster a supportive environment, offering resources like mp3 practice tracks, youtube videos, and other homework to keep students engaged and track their progress. I also provide regular feedback and encouragement to ensure continuous improvement. Lastly, I do weekly and multiple times a week check-in's with my students to encouragement and ensure they feel supported to continue making progress. Read More

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
It was a gradual decision. Opportunities began to present themselves and guess who was prepared and ready? However it took me years to actually improve my craft and even then I did not consider myself a professional. I had other vocations that I focused on but continued to study music as well as always had music projects. The opportunities never ceased and I challenged myself to meet every opportunity. Then in 2011, already currently playing for my church, I was offered a job teaching piano in the Arlington, Texas school district and an associated daycare chain. The rest is history.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes. Both of my brothers are musicians. My oldest can play any instrument, at any time, with anyone. My youngest plays trumpet, tuba and french horn and his wife sings. He has been a part of his church orchestra for more than 20 years and the guest musician for many concerts, special programs, weedings and funerals. In addition, I have taught all 6 of my grandchildren to play piano, ages ranging from 4 to 13. They travel, sing and play and perform as a choir and puppetry group as well as play for our Church services. In addition I have many uncles, cousins and aunts who sing and play.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I have been a musician since the first day that my Dad put that keyboard in my hands at age 7. I have had many vocations and music played a very big part in all of them. In Nursing I did Music Therapy. In Paramedics I used it to distract patients during difficult and painful Procedures and circumstances. In teaching Medical and Business Courses I used it as memory enhancers and techniques. With Children music has always been a big part of curriculum, music therapy and many techniques as well as graduations, programs, performances etc. Now, my primary profession is music though i continue to tutor in reading, math and typing concurrently as well. If I decide to do anything else here in my later life, and I do not foresee doing so, you bet music will be right there.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I have a variety of methods, drills, exercises, games and activities from all of the above and more. I also have my own original methods that I utilize also. However, when I teach, there is no one method fits all. I tailor my teaching to the needs and dreams of the student. That means that I use a variety and I have a flexible but thorough approach that keeps lessons moving toward the dream but filling in the gaps and being a well-rounded program.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My 2 loves are classical and gospel. When I took lessons I was classically trained and had impeccable sight reading ability. This made me excellent at Playing for others and myself as long as I had the music in front of me. But much of my musical experience has also been in churches, for choirs, soloists and a variety of services and programs. There is a big difference and you truly can be a master at one without any knowledge of the other. In the beginning of my life I did not understand this and I was not a very good gospel or jazz musician until I devoted time and additional study in chords, improvising, transposing and ear training. I also devoted time to studying blues and jazz which are implemented so much in contemporary christian and gospel music.
