Instruments: Voice Clarinet
I'm passionate and have always had a great love for music. I have been singing since I was a young child and have been playing the Clarinet since 3rd grade. Music has always been a big part of my life and sharing and teaching others is just the icing on top of the cake so to speak. I love sharing my passion for music with others and helping them to also see the beauty in music and develop a passion and love for music as well. Read More
Instruments: Voice
For beginning students, I focus on the essentials of theory and intervals and combine with the Voice for Life method. Each lesson is tailored to the student's needs and goals, so no lesson is exactly alike in structure. For intermediate to advanced students, I focus on aural (ear) training, sight singing and rhythm and follow it with prepared pieces in order to be "audition ready". For the intermediate to advanced students, I don't use a specific tool for teaching as I feel once you are past the fundamentals of music, everyone learns differently. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
In my piano classes I use the Bastien piano method beginning at the primer level for the children. If they have had previous lessons, I am more than willing to continue with their current method. For adult piano students I use the Older Beginner Piano Course by Bastien. Again, if they wish to continue with previously studied materials, I am more than happy to comply with that. For voice students, the music is geared to the individual. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I have started students as young as four, usually in a pre-school group setting, using Kindermusic and other programs. Formalpianoor keyboard lessons usuallybegin at age 5, there are several great methods available for the young beginner. I choose from several diffenent methods to best suit the age, learning style, and interests of the student. Older students are free to choose pop music, there are many downloadable sites now to find almost anything! Read More

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.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Flute Bass Guitar Organ Synthesizer Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
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.

Instruments: Voice Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums Recorder Euphonium French Horn Tuba Oboe Bassoon
I attended school at Valley Head High School in Valley Head, Alabama and attended college at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. I have performed all over the country, and my musical arrangements, compositions, and marching drill design have been performed all over the world. Music has been my life for almost 20 years, and I wouldn't trade any of my experiences in performance for anything in this world! I have since taught at Cedar Bluff High School and Valley Head High School, working with band and choir students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Viola
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Focus is crucial to an effective practice, and different people have different needs to create a focused environment. I like to be in a closed room alone with all of the sheet music I'll need and some water, so that that I shouldn't need to leave the room and break my focus. I also encourage a back and forth dialogue with oneself, keeping it progress-oriented. After singing or playing a passage, I stop and ask myself how it went - what was good and what could have been better? If you come across sections that you just can't nail, bring them to your next lesson!
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
For a while I was pretty torn - the viola was the first instrument I was absolutely crazy about, but in the end I chose to specialize in voice and still consider it my primary instrument. I took piano lessons and learned to play the viola, but I have always been a singer - at church, in school, in the shower. It wasn't until I was in a college choir that I heard women use their free, powerful, operatic voices. I needed to explore that vocal style for myself, and I fell in love with the mastery of classical singing. Good classical technique gives a singer the tools they need to sing just about any genre.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I hold a bachelor's degree in vocal performance, but I started at the University of Minnesota intent on studying music education. I knew I wanted music to be my profession, and the implementation of that has been ever-changing. I realized that one of my favorite things about music was performing for others, and I love the glamour of the theatre. Opera was a natural choice and after even my first classical voice lesson, I was hooked. Vocal study has been an especially incredible way to learn music because it's so personal - your instrument is your body.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
Music is an addiction! I started with piano lessons in grade school, and I remember the announcement in middle school that we could sign up for band, choir, or orchestra. I didn't even think of my voice as an instrument at the time, but I signed up for choir AND orchestra. When I little sister signed up for guitar and later cello lessons, I couldn't keep my hands off of her instruments - the same thing happened when my little brother started playing violin, and I got my own electric guitar to work out some teenage angst. Since completion of my degree in vocal performance, I've been learning cajon, djembe, bass guitar, and mandolin. I love that the same melody or rhythm can sound so different from instrument to instrument, and I like fusing the sounds to craft unique soundscapes.
