I specialize in the Alfred Series for piano and My First Piano Adventure for young students. This approach focuses on ear training and reading music. Custom exercises and choice of material is based on the student's level and field of study. Lessons are scheduled at the student's convenience as per availability. Frequency and length of lessons is based on the students needs. Young voice students are taught general concepts, music theory, and ear training. Read More

I have an extensive list of teaching experiences in public schools and communities in Indiana such as the Boys and Girls Club and Middle Way House of Bloomington, and Bloomington public schools. I have taken methods classes on teaching band and string instruments. I have specialization in teaching clarinet and voice, as I have taken specific pedagogy courses designed on the very detailed approaches of teaching these two crafts. I have experience giving clarinet lessons to my peers in my methods classes as well as piano lessons to a first grade beginning student. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Voice Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I like to make my lessons engaging and fun. For students who are beginning their guitar journey, I like to start with the basic fundamentals of guitar, such as teaching them the body of the guitar (head stock, tuning pegs, string names, frets, how to hold and use a pick, etc.). We then will go on to learning how to position their fingers on the guitar neck and frets to play notes, learn chords and eventually, once they are ready, we will start working on age appropriate songs for the students to learn.

Instruments: Voice

I began teaching about a year ago where I served as an adjunct faculty member at The Allegra School of Music in Hillsborough, NJ. What I love most about teaching is taking the time to taking things a part and exploring them, one thing at a time, concept by concept, and molding them back together to form a strong, solid technical foundation. Also, having an understanding of how singing is an activity that requires involvement from all of your body, engaging every part and make sure they are working together to create ease, and efficient vocal production.

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Recorder Music Keyboard

I want to work to make my students into musicians, not just "singers" or "instrumentalists." I want my students to trust both my judgement and me as a person, and I do this through communication and honesty. Every student is different, and one teaching style or procedure will not work to anyone. I strive to be adaptable and flexible in my teaching style to give the best opportunities to each of my students. Read More
