Instruments: Piano Voice French Horn Music
Music lessons should be a playground for exploration! It is my job to meet students where they are and invite them to rise to new heights in their performance. Lessons are a series of small steps. The journey of learning music is a marathon, not a sprint. I work to gauge where students are coming from, attempting to engage the experience from all the different dimensions of their lives in order to create a pace that is meaningful and effective for each student.

Instruments: Guitar Voice Trumpet Harmonica Ukulele Recorder Acoustic Guitar
I try to make the learning fun and interesting for my students. My goal is to have them look forward to their next lesson and make learning their instrument something they value. I believe every student progresses at their own pace. I make sure the lesson is at a level they can handle, but challenging enough to give them a sense of accomplishment when they achieve success. Music can provide lifelong benefits of building confidence, self discipline, improved brain functioning in the area of math and reading, and the enjoyment of performing their skill with other musicians.

I teach music to all ages, and my style varies depending on the age of the students. With young students, I may give them a little theory but more so focus on what music they like may like and want to learn. I find playing along with CDs work for some students as long they have fun. For the adults I bring it to a different level but again using similar methods, for example learning minor or major scales on guitar or piano, timing is also what I focus on as well. Read More
Instruments: Voice
I am a lyric soprano, and have been performing and teaching for the past 35 years. I have performed opera, oratorio, Gilbert and Sullivan and concert repertoire. My particular interests are early music and 20th century art song. I teach at several different schools, and enjoy working with ages 13 through adult. I trained originally as a classical guitartist, and take guitar students from age 10 through adult. I also teach folk guitar. I have studied classical piano for several years and have taught a number of beginning piano students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Synthesizer Music Keyboard
Music is my life, and I love to share my passion with others! I graduated from Berklee College of Music in 1997, majoring in Music Production and Engineering and Voice. I have been producing music, and I have been teaching voice and piano off and on for 25 years. I am a singer songwriter, and I play with my band "Dream Jeannie". Some of my other paid jobs include producing cultural music, singing back-up vocals for a local artist, and teaching for Tacoma Public Schools, Tacoma Musical Playhouse, The City of University Place, and Taylor Robinson Music.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Ukulele Double Bass Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
I'm a musician to my core. I have love music since before I played it. I always like the bass guitar even though I couldn't play one (yet) and I really wanted to play bass once I heard Stanley Clarke play his bass guitar. I was blown away and I had to learn how to play bass guitar, which I did. I have traveled and performed around the world because of music. Read More
Instruments: Voice Music
I also taught voice classes, vocal jazz workshops, and coached a variety of vocal ensembles. The whole purpose of Seattle Glee Clubs was to have fun making music and theater. I have extensive choral, instrumental, vocal jazz ensemble, solo, and theater experience and have presented many recitals of art song, standards, and show tunes. In addition to my own performing, I held the position of bass section leader for the Seattle Jewish Chorale from 2010 2013 and over the years has served as soloist/section leader and music director for synagogues, and various other denominations.

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.
