Instruments: Piano
I have taught private and group lessons for the past ten years and love working with students of all ages and abilities. I like to craft my lessons to the needs and desires of each individual student (and thier parents), resulting in a comprehensive program that not only allows the student to progress technically, but embrace and build their love of music as welll. I can teach in a variety of styles. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
Music lessons should be fun but educational. I want to know what your goals are and what you would like to get out of your lessons. Each lesson will be tailored to your specific goals and situation, so that you can get the most out of our time together. Whether music is a hobby, a career path, or something in between, you can expect to learn what interests you most. Read More
Instruments: Piano Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
It is wonderful book to quickly get students of all ages moving toward proficiency. Once the student has reached a comfortable level of confidence, I introduce Charles Duncan’s follow up book, Classical Guitar Repertoire: A Graded Anthology of Solo Pieces. It’s a great start for the fledgling soloist. For intermediate and advance I use a wide variety of methods. For Intermediate players, I typically use book 2 of the Charles Duncan's A Modern Approach to Classical Guitar and the companion solo book. Read More

I began practicing music without a theoretical background, on piano, at age 8. My first exposure to music theory was in college. The written basis for the logic I'd already been hearing enraptured me. Then as now, an increase in my understanding of music theory equates directly to a practical application on multiple instruments. I believe this correlation between theory and idiomatic technique is the bedrock of any long term practice, serious or amateur. Read More

Education should be as individual as each student! I try to adapt my personality and teaching style to best fit my students. Each lesson or clinic will demand something different of me, just like each topic will. Positive reinforcement has always been my go-to. Playing music in front of one person (or 50) can be a soul bearing experience, and I've found that encouragement can be everything! Read More

My teaching style is based around having fun while learning important techniques. Some students will pick up a technique or a piece of music in one week, while another might struggle with the same piece for a whole month, and that's okay! I will never force a student to move on from something they feel less than great about, and with that ideology, I believe students gain the confidence that is so vital to the creative process of music making.

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Bass Guitar
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I learned flute and some clarinet because they are useful doubles in the world of saxophone playing.
Bass is my true love because it allows the sound of the band to come together. Getting the privilege of playing the part that allows the band to sound as one is always inspiring.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I got my degree in Performance because it allows you to learn all of the above. You should know the history of your instrument and genre, the theory of what is being performed, and you should compose if you want to be a performer that speaks eloquently and honestly.,
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
When I have a clear head I work on tone, then scales (technique), time (scales to a metronome) and repertoire. I let myself get creative in repertoire by changing up styles, songs, tempos, etc. I practice each section as long as I can be effective (I don't believe in putting time limits on what I do). If I'm having a rough day, I'll just play whatever I want as it comes to me. It keeps me from getting discouraged and still allows me to play/ practice.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master is technique. Creating efficient technique that will allow you to perform what you hear or want to play is the biggest learning curve for any instrument.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I found my Dad's saxophone at my grandparents and kept trying to make sound out of it until my parents decided it was time for lessons so they didn't have to listen to me squeaking throughout the house. It stuck from there.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I'm most proud of the different bands I'm in currently. It has allowed me to adapt to all different kinds of genres and see how they connect.
It's important to listen to ALL kinds of music and gather your own opinions and interests. That's when good music starts to be made.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
The teacher that inspired me the most was the one that talked about music like it was apart of life. There was no difference between playing and breathing to him. It was just something that lived inside everyone and it was up to you to decide how it fits into your life.
When will I start to see results?
Results will show fairly frequently in the beginning because they are learning so many new ideas and techniques playing an instrument requires. As time goes on results will show by the amount of effort each student puts in. The more they think, listen, and play music, the quicker they will improve.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Any child that shows an interest in music or playing is ready.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing is not about sitting down for hours everyday. I suggest practicing once a day for as long as you can be effective. Whether that is 5 minutes or 2 hours, our brains will retain information better through consistency, not quantity.
