Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I have taught students over 10 years, privately and also in music studios, from absolute novice to intermediate levels. The students come from many nations and with diverse backgrounds. Most students begin to play for fun, but can become earnest quests. I encourage students to explore the possibilities of sound through playing the piano. I believe variety is the spice, and ensure students have a palette of musical styles. I help students in musical appreciation, studies, rehearsals, and beyond. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Harmonica Ukulele Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar
I bring a wealth of hands on experience in many settings as well as a background in music education at an academic level to my lessons and interactions with students. After initially discussing the student's musical background and ambitions, I am able to assess what is the best path for them moving forward. For beginner students that usually means providing a beginner method book to introduce the fundamentals of music (the Hal Leonard Guitar Method is my go-to for aspiring guitarists). Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums Mallet Percussion
I am a motivated instructor and performer who teaches and plays for the love of music. My primary instruments are drum set and vibraphone, but I teach and perform on a plethora of percussion instruments and some piano. I am currently completing my final year of my masters program in jazz performance from North Carolina Central University. I have had the honor of studying jazz and Italian in Italy for three months.

Instruments: Piano Trumpet
I've been teaching trumpet since I was a freshman in High School. My mother is a band director for Selma Middle School and frequently asks me to tutor students or conduct a group session. After High School, many private teaching opportunities opened up for me, including Hope Middle School, Red Wood Middle School, Clinton Middle School, as well as brass tech for Topsail High School and Clinton High School. I currently am under contract with Archer's Lodge High School as a marching band tech leading high brass and drill instruction as well as a few private lessons. Read More
Instruments: Piano
My teaching experience is varied and far reaching. I have been teaching since my youth as I worked in various churches and musical productions. I was often tasked to compose and then work with the singer's musicians in the production. From there I worked with organizations while in college assisting underserved individuals learn music as a means of escapism. Additionally, I have worked with music schools to assist prodigious students develop musical maturity. Read More
Instruments: Trombone
My teaching experience extends back to my high school years when I began working with fellow trombonists to help them improve their playing. More recently, I have picked up teaching again and currently work with local students in the Piedmont Triad area. As I have stated previously, my teaching method focuses heavily on fundamentals and technique, as it is my belief that having a strong foundation will provide the student with the tools necessary to have success on the instrument.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I feel like I have had several accomplishments and awards with music, but the things I’m most proud of are the moments I’ve had as a teacher. There is just no feeling cooler than watching something click for one of your students, and watching them grow and create their own accomplishments.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I originally wanted to play the flute, and they stuck me on trombone! I was so upset at first, but they told me I would get more scholarships being a girl trombone player, haha! While this wasn’t true, this is what got me started! I was very bad when I started and couldn’t even make a sound on my instrument. However, once I finally figured it out, I fell in love with my instrument and it has been a huge part of my life ever since!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Breaking things apart! When practice sessions aren’t going how we would like them to, often it’s because you are trying to process more information than your brain can handle in the moment. This can look like breaking it down to a few measures at a time, or breaking down the elements (play only the rhythm, play only the notes, etc).
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Lessons are for every student at every level! A student is ready to be in lessons if they’re ready to put time and dedication into their instrument. If students are not prepared to work on their instrument outside of their lesson, they might not be ready for the commitment to lessons.
When will I start to see results?
Results as a musician are like results from working out. Every time you work out, you’re getting stronger, but you might not see muscle definition for a while. Some elements can give instant gratification, but most of the skills we work on might not feel that different until there is a large change. This is because the progress we make as musicians happens a little bit at a time.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I was always inspired by my band directors! As a child, I loved band. I was truly a band kid at heart and put everything I had into it. All of my directors were very encouraging and helpful, and gave me lessons (as this wasn’t something available to me at my school). As I’ve gone through college, I have had several teachers that were very encouraging and have inspired me to be the same for my students.
