For beginning students who have never touched music in their lives (mostly children), I start out with the Hal Leonard's Essential Elements book of their chosen instrument. From there, we learn how to read music, play in time, and play the instrument itself. Once the student feels comfortable with the practices in the book, I move on to introduce solo repertoire to prepare for a recital. Of course, if they are in their school band, we will focus on perfecting their given band music. Read More

With a teacher-mom, I believe my teaching experience started as soon as I could wrangle the attention of my little sister or stuffed animals. Officially I did some tutoring and a pre-teacher program in high school, along with some volunteering at after school programs. I also tutored and taught private lessons while in college. In my student teaching semester, I taught P-12 music classes including band and music appreciation. After college I spent ten years with a Christian camping organization where I taught as well.

When students recognize their own growth, it fuels their motivation and keeps them excited about learning. I also make it a priority to understand what inspires each student. Whether it is a favorite style, a musical hero, or a personal goal, learning what resonates with them helps me tailor instruction to their needs and interests. Above all, I want every student to feel supported, challenged, and inspired. When students enjoy the process, they develop not only skill but also a lifelong appreciation for music. Read More
