I have been playing trumpet since the summer of 2006 and have been in love with the art form ever since. I am also an advocate for historic music performance practice and an avid avant-garde performer. I hold degrees from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts high school program and the Eastman School of Music. In addition to these degrees, I have received graduate level training from the Royal Academy of Music in London, UK and the Boston University College of Fine Arts in Boston, MA. Read More

Instruments: Voice

Every emotional experience of heartbreak or even happiness music and performing has allowed me to interpret. I want to help students more effectively use and understand singing as an expressive and technical skill. I plan to begin with the basics of classical training thus allowing empasis on healthy singing. Once they have a foundtaion of the basics I will allow them to focus on their own passions. Thus allowing individual expression growth and a greater desire for learning. Read More

Instruments: Flute Piccolo

I am currently a senior studying Music Education at Brigham Young University and am super excited about students and teaching music! I love volleyball, spikeball, spending time outside, frozen yogurt, paint by numbers, reading, baking, and being with family! One of my favorite feelings is the satisfaction between mentor and mentee, when theyre able to accomplish something they werent before.I love to do that through private lessons. I participated in marching and concert band all throughout high school and college, including BYUs Wind Symphony, a touring group with which I have travelled to Spain and Portugal and will perform with at WASBE in Korea this summer.

Instruments: Piano Organ Keyboard

I like playing games and playing through music with the student. I have flash cards, sometimes we play concentration, war, find it on the keyboard, spoons, relay races. We use gross motor skills, with big floor keyboard, dance, etc. Sometimes we do note speller things, technique learning from books. Sometimes I record them so they can see their own progress. We adjust, we just have fun.When they start spelling words with note names and are able to write and find them on the keyboard and on the staff, then we begin composing our own music. Read More

Instruments: Voice Trumpet French Horn

Everyone learns and masters music at their own pace. Light bulb moments are the moments for which I live! Nothing says, "I am learning," like seeing a student understand a concept or command a new ability for the first time. I set realistic goals and help guide my students towards their goals. I keep my lessons relaxed but full of energy. A huge fan of positive reinforcement, I do my best to make sure that I give a complement or praise before I make any correction. Read More

Instruments: Trumpet

I first began teaching private lessons as a summer job while still a teenager in high school, and I've loved teaching ever since. Encouraging a love of the instrument (and music in general) in younger students is something I'm very passionate about, but I'm always willing to help older students find that love as well. I find that the best way to ignite that interest is to focus on the type of music the student is most interested in. Read More

Instruments: Saxophone Clarinet Music

Like I mentioned above, I believe in having fun. You should be having as much fun as you are working hard. I have had more fun in band than almost anything else in my life. I have developed lasting friendships and memories that I will cherish forever. When it comes to teaching, I want students to know how to listen and use their ears. I like to teach by sound and feel before notation. Read More
