Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Ukulele Double Bass Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
I have the same approach to teaching beginner and intermediate piano. Again, we learn our notes in five finger position and then we learn to read time signatures, notes in the treble clef, chords, and rhythms, as well as playing complete songs. When teaching piano for beginners I like to pick the leaning material that we'll use based on the individual because we all learn differently and I like to keep it fun so the student stays interested.

Instruments: Voice
Practice is essential to growth, but if a student does not enjoy their repertoire, they simply won't practice. Therefore, I work to find common ground with students when selecting songs. I will not force Classical or Jazz, but feel the technique these styles teach are invaluable. Each student will learn music fundamentals and basic reading skills. I feel knowledge of the piano is helpful for all musicians so in early lessons I will teach piano skills to aid in practice. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Trumpet Drums Bass Guitar Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Latin Percussion
I have been teaching for four years in many capacities, from teaching full bands, to working one on one with students of all ages. I have taught many older students who have a strong foundation in music, as well as young students with no music expierience at all. I have competed in competitions and been a featured soloist, and my love for music challenges me to be the best teacher I can be. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Trumpet Trombone Bass Guitar Ukulele Recorder Orchestral Percussion Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
For beginning students, I strive to teach the basics of music theory while learning the fundamentals of producing characteristic tone on their instrument. I typically start by working through the Essential Elements method book and introduce solos, ensembles, and orchestral excerps when appropriate. If the student is a part of a school or community ensemble, I work with the student on any pieces that their ensemble is preparing for performance. Read More
Instruments: Voice
In 35 years of teaching, I've learned that everyone is different, and that is how it should be! The goals of teaching are the same for each student, but the process of achieving the goals is usually tailor made for each person. I love music, and it is always thrilling for me to hear progress as the weeks go by. I enjoy teaching because I feel I am working with the students to bring something good into their lives. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Synthesizer Music Keyboard
I have a friendly and laid back teaching style, maintaining student/teacher professionalism. How much or how fast the student learns depends a lot on how much they practice. For younger students I use stickers as rewards to help motivate them. I adapt to the student when it comes to the style of music we play or sing. Occasionally we may play or sing duets. I let voice students choose which songs they want to sing. Read More
Instruments: Voice Violin
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
To my knowledge, none of my students have performed frequently competitively.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
In my opinion, pitch is the most difficult thing to master on the violin. It is something that will always be worked on, and is the most important factor in producing a beautiful sound.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Essential Elements, because they really teach the basics to beginners.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Beginning with scales and etudes for 20 minutes, then continuing on to a designated section of a piece for the next 40 minutes.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I do not have a Music Degree - I felt that the Liberal Studies degree gave me a great breadth and variety of knowledge while still allowing me to incorporate music into many aspects of my education.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream piece to perform is the Sibelius Violin Concerto. It is very nuanced and complex, and has the perfect balance between technical virtuosity and emotional maturity.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would be pursuing a career as a Mental Health Counselor.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Classical, because it forms the solid technique upon which all other genres can be mastered.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I am also an amateur vocalist, which I was inspired to become after listening to numerous talented and virtuosic vocalists.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My paternal grandmother was a pianist, my maternal great-grandfather was a fiddler, my father has experience as a vocalist, and my mother was a professional vocalist. I also have numerous cousins that are musicians in various instruments, such as voice, piano, guitar, and flute.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
This has been a gradual decision for me. I have been performing semi-professionally since I was in high school, went down a different path towards Mental Health Counseling, and recently chose to return to pursuing music as a full-time career.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
The child expresses interest in the instrument and shows a good amount of discipline and motivation in other aspects of life.
When will I start to see results?
There will be results by the end of the third lesson.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My first violin teacher greatly inspired me, on both a personal and a musical level. He was an amazing musician and was very personable with me, and I always left my lessons with him feeling inspired and excited, albeit exhausted.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of soloing with orchestras. There is no greater feeling than standing before an orchestra and knowing they are all playing for me.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose my primary instrument because I loved the way it sounded and the way it looked when being performed on. I also had a relationship with my violin teacher prior to beginning lessons.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Break the piece you are working on into smaller components and tackle one at a time, slowly, before bringing it all together.
