Instruments: Piano Voice
In the voice studio I am a kind and nurturing teacher - no matter the age or level of the singer. Above all, I strive to instruct healthy, beautiful singing. I absolutely believe in choosing music for a student that will help improve specific areas of vocal technique, but also music about which the student feels passionate. Singing should feel like a release and it should be rewarding. I remember looking forward to voice lessons and getting so excited to watch my voice grow and get better. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
Each student needs a long-term goal in mind for where they want their voice to be. I like to start out by setting a couple realistic goals for the long-term with my students, then breaking those goals down into manageable steps each associated with one or two pieces. I also want students to know that they are accomplishing their goals, so I have my students tape lessons and listen back later to hear their progress. Read More
Instruments: Voice
For me, voice teaching is all about the individual. Unlike a violin, trumpet, piano, or other instrument of a fixed size and shape, voices come in all shapes and sizes. Each students physiology and psychology is different and responds better to different stimuli/approaches. In singing, our bodies are our instruments! Therefore, there is no one size fits all approach to teaching voice. It thrills me to get to know a student and work with them in a cooperative and encouraging way to achieve his or her goals.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Cello
Cello is my main instrument, but I have also been teaching piano, guitar, and violin for years. I love teaching and the variety of finding the approach that works best for each individual student. On a personal note, I was married in 2010 and had my first child, a boy, a year later. I live in Northfield but commute up to the Eden Prairie/Chanhassen area for lessons every Monday. I am also open to giving lessons at people's homes who are close to Highway 35 on the way to or from the Cities. Read More
Instruments: Voice Saxophone Clarinet
I have been instructing since I was 17. I have found that, as a performer, my craft only deepens as I develop as an education as well. I have been fulltime since college and have loved every minute. With my diverse background in multi styles I find that I bring a fresh and unique approach to music education. My primary goal is to bring together the technical element to grow in fundamentals, intermixed with fun! Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Cello Viola Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums Bass Guitar Organ Synthesizer Accordion Banjo Ukulele Mandolin Recorder Electric Violin Fiddle Double Bass French Horn Tuba Piccolo Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Oboe Bassoon English Horn Conga Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I began teaching private lessons in 1989. My focus is to understand what learning style my students have and base my teaching methods on their individual needs. In college I studied pedagogies (teaching methods) for band, orchestra and majored in vocal and classroom education. Since achieving my degree in teaching kindergarten through 12th grade education, I have worked in Preschool, Elementary, Middle School, and High School settings as well with the elderly. Read More
Instruments: Voice Trumpet
I am a passionate musician who has been privately trained in instrumental and vocal music since I was 8 years old. I have had many opportunities as a trumpeter and vocalist, which include performing with the South Dakota Symphony Orchestra and Choir, the Sioux City Symphony, and soloing alongside legendary jazz trumpet player, Jon Faddis. I have won numerous awards in music, such as Outstanding Soloist at the AU Jazz Competition in 2012 and 2014, as well as Outstanding Brass Soloist at the KCKCC Jazz Competition in 2015. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Discipline is the key to practicing effectively. In order to make good headway towards a goal, it is important to set an amount of time every day that this can be achieved. From there, it is important to set up an "exercise plan" within that time limit to be able to execute what you are working on. The ability to adjust your plan as time goes on based on life events or learning something new is also important. If you want to practice effectively you need to keep an open mind and be flexible. Focus on what you can do today while keeping short term and long term goals in the back of your mind but during the "exercise" it is important to stay present.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Your child is ready to start lessons if they seem to have an inclination towards music or musical instruments. I would say that if you notice that your child seems to gravitate towards different aspects of music then it is probably time to think about possibly getting your child involved in playing an instrument or singing. Whether that be different instruments, singing songs regularly, making improvised music with voice or objects around the house or simply just wanting to play a bunch of notes on a piano because they enjoy the sound it makes.
When will I start to see results?
If discipline is maintained, you will see results weekly. Sometimes results can even be seen on a daily basis depending on what is being worked on. The most important thing to keep in mind, however, is that music is a lifelong pursuit and that no "end goal" within the craft really exists. Instant gratification is not something that should be taken into account when playing an instrument. The process of playing an instrument is similar to any skill-based craft, you do it because you love it (through the good times and the bad times) and the rewards you reap will last throughout your lifetime.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had a classical guitar teacher inspire me by showing me that success in the style is possible by making calculated steps towards your goals and establishing a good routine. Prior to playing classical music, I was self-taught and always pushed towards the goals I wanted to achieve but society taught me at a young age that playing classical music was that for the gifted. My classical teacher taught me that society is wrong and that success in playing in a classical style is for the people who persevere and challenge adversity. The military gave me the discipline and the ability to self-motivate during times of hardship and life taught me that sometimes your routine needs to be adjusted. All of these experiences in my life together taught me that as long as you keep realistic goals in your sights anything is possible.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I choose to play guitar because I love the challenge of it. I love the beautiful music that can be created from just a guitar by itself. I love the versatility of the instrument and the idea that you can play pretty much any style on it. I love the craftsmanship that goes into building a high-quality guitar. I love how much fun it is to play guitar either by yourself or with your friends. The guitar can be played by anyone from a complete novice learning open chords, chugging power chords to a seasoned soloist or a person overcoming a disability using open tunings.
