Instruments: Piano, Voice

For piano, I like to begin with fundamentals such as five finger exercises and musical literacy teachings to ensure growth of musical understanding as well as proper technique. I have had great success using the Faber and Faber book series, as this gets students in the music quickly. From there, there is so much solo repertoire to explore! I have a passion and preference for classical composers, but have experience with pop and modern techniques as well. Read More

I love seeing students grow as musicans.  There is no greater reward for a teacher then to see her students develop new skills, master technique, and become independent and educated young musicans.  As a teacher I feel that it is extremely important that all my students be able to read music.  My students not only read the notes, but read and understand symbols in their music.  Students learn music theory, rhythm reading, sight reading, and gain knowledge in the area of music history providing a comprehensive musical experience.  In my studio, we celebrate all accomplishments from completing homework, tackling a difficult piece, or finishing a lesson book.    Read More

I want new students to have fun and learn things that are interesting to them and benefitial to their musical journey. Children should get their beginnings in technique books and eventually music that stimulates further growth and interest; and adults, like the kids, importance is placed on technique, but even moreso, good practice techniques! As adults we quickly lose patience and revert to bad habits when it comes to practice, and that slows growth, develops poor technique and narrows our abilities to only what we currently know.
