Instruments: Piano Voice
My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part-time many years ago while learning piano at University and working in children's creative center. I began to teach students in my home studio. Working in Musical theater, I gained more experience teaching piano and voice, accompaniment to ballet classes and theatrical plays. My students participate in awards and honor recitals throughout the year. I have taught piano and voice lessons for over 25 years. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Harmonica Ukulele Mandolin Acoustic Guitar
I have taught in a variety of settings including children through teens and adults, and children with disabilities, both online and in person, one-on-one and in groups. I started in 2014. I have found that the best method includes positive motivation, which includes both encouragement for what the student is doing successfully, and also pushing the student in areas where they may feel hesitant. If the student enjoys the lesson and feels positive, they'll be less hesitant and excel! Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard
Music and teaching it to others has been my life's work and passion. I am classically trained (obviously) and I am the first and still only person in my family to graduate from a four year college and later graduate school, having earned BM and MM degrees in Piano Performance with a minor in organ at Shenandoah University. In addition to 27 years of music ministry, 26 years as an accompanist and/or MD (classical and music theatre settings) and of course 16 years of private piano teaching, my greatest professional accomplishment is having played at Carnegie Hall in June 2014.

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music. It's important that each of my students progress at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Viola Flute Piccolo
For beginning students, I like to start from Essential elements, Suzuki 1, or Piano Adventures. Students will also likely have a theory workbook or worksheets that match the level of their current repertoire. Intermediate students, we will start using a program called smart music that plays the accompaniment for pieces that we are working on. This will really help develop a great internal sense of rhythm and help students recognize immediately when something needs correcting. Read More

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Private voice lessons requires a lot of focus, preparation and commitment. If you don't feel like your child is able to commit to consistent practice each week in between their lesson, but they are interested in music and want to learn more, my suggestion is to find a group music class, such as a community choir or musical theatre program where your student can learn in a fun environment amongst other individuals their age and with the same interests! It's important that children gain an appreciation for music and gain positive, fun, and freeing feelings around music learning. Because of the responsibility that comes with one- on- one lessons, putting a child in lessons before they're ready for that commitment can risk leading to negative thoughts and feelings with music learning.
When will I start to see results?
Immediately. And if you practice as suggested and stay consistent with your lessons and preparation, you will see permanent results within 2- 4 weeks.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had several teachers who inspired me to go into music simply because they believed in me. I still have teachers currently that continue to inspire me to stay in music, as it can be a difficult career path full of rejection and discouragement. It's important to find the teachers and mentors who believe in you and want to work with you to make you better. On the flipside, it's also important to keep your distance and brush off the comments you receive from those who do not believe in you. There is a place for everyone in music- you just have to find the people who believe in you and enjoy your art.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
As cheesy and cliché as it sounds, singing chose me. It's a calling and a gift and ever since I was a little girl, I never wanted to do anything else.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I am endlessly proud of my students, whether they are choosing to pursue voice professionally, or just trying to improve their voice for the next karaoke outing! I always push my students to have at least one goal in mind in order to increase motivation. Some accomplishments of my students include continuing on to pursue a Masters degree in music, singing lead roles in professional, community and school performances, being accepted into prestigious summer vocal programs, and placing in NATS chapter auditions.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Carve out a set time in your schedule each day dedicated to practice. Even if you don't have an entire hour at one time, carve out 20 or 30 minute intervals throughout the day. Record your practice sessions and watch them back at the end. Make note of what you think went really well, and then what didn't go so well. Take that information into your next practice session so you can improve on the things that didn't go well.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Actually, as a musician, I have the luxury of pursuing many different avenues in my career. In addition to performing and singing, I also work as a Content Creator and Social Media and Marketing Manager. My personality type requires diversity in my career, so no matter what, I would be dabbling in several different things that allow me to be creative.
