Instruments: Guitar Voice Harmonica Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I like to start with basics in every way.. holding the instrument,tuning,songs that interest them,styles, and some history. I want people to be able to play some basic songs fairly quickly. Seeing results in yourself is important to keep motivated. I think it can seem like a impossible thing sometimes. I want everyone to feel like they have accomplished something because music isnt easy. Basics go a long way in most everything in life. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I started singing professionally at age 15. Through the years I have taught both private voice and piano lessons. I have also taught at Elbert County Charter School grades kindergarten through the 8th grade in general music education. I have served as the minister of music at St Paul's Methodist Church in Burlington NC, Aurora First Presbyterian Church in Aurora Colorado and at Providence Presbyterian in Parker Colorado. I am currently serving as the praise team music assistant for Our Savior's Church in Lakewood Colorado 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: Guitar Voice
Vocal technique, including breath support, pitch, range, tone, and style are important for every singer. However, each student is not the same, and it is important to help a student find their natural voice and work from there. A huge part of becoming a better singer has to do with building confidence. Confidence comes from having little successes and getting in touch with one's own natural sound. Then wonderful new sounds and feelings can be built from there. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Banjo Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I have been teaching music ever since I began to develop a formal education myself. I began by teaching anyone and everyone I could as early as my first year of college. I quickly figured out that anyone could really learn this stuff. I also realized that most people wanted to learn at some point, just never got around to it or stopped believing they could. It has always been my mission to reverse this kind of thinking for those who want it, and help people understand it is never too late to learn. 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
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.
