Instruments: Piano

For all of my students, both children and adults, I incorporate theory, technique, ear training, and musicality into the lessons. It's very important to me that all aspects of music be learned in an ongoing and cohesive way. I firmly believe that a strong understanding of these different elements will inform every other aspect, and make for a more grounded and satisfied student. For adults, lesson plans vary quite a bit, depending on the level of the adult and their interests. Read More

My teaching experience began in a pedagogy class in college. I was not a music education major, so I thought I wouldn't make a good teacher. What I discovered through my teaching experiences was, however, that I really enjoyed getting to know my students and watching them grow in knowledge and passion for music. I've found that when I both listen to my student's wants and needs AND challenge them with new and different things, they really thrive and actually enjoy their time with me! Read More

One of my favorite things to see is the development of a student into a true musician.  When something clicks for a student and they begin making connections and are able to make music their own, that is incredibly exciting to me!  I believe that my teaching style produces musicianship which is rewarding and beneficial to every student.  Learning a musical instrument teaches discipline, multitasking, and many other excellent traits which can be applied to other areas of life.
