Instruments: Piano
I have been teaching music since I was a teenager. I started with my neighborhood friends, and later at a school of music, where I also hosted showcase concerts for my students. I then went into private teaching in 2009, and have been teaching student of all ages at their homes. I also taught high school choir, which was a life changing experience for me, as it gave me new insight to older children and how musical tastes evolve as they grow older. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
My teaching style is relaxed and encouraging. I find students typically do best in an environment where they feel comfortable and safe. I like to get to know each student's individual learning style and goals and then construct my lessons based on that. I enjoy every level of instruction, from playing early music reading games with 3 year olds, to helping high school students prepare for college music auditions, to helping adults become more confident at karaoke night. .....................................

Instruments: Piano Voice Organ Music Keyboard
I have worked with many music methods and numerous curriculums: Alfred, Faber, Piano Pronto, Hal Leonard, Bastian, Eric Steiner Rice, Faber, Dogs and Birds, Mr. Everybody's Musical Apt., Sandy Hoffman, Carol Tournquist etc. to name a few. I start out with a general introduction and progress to choosing the core curriculum according to the student's ability and desire in music. Music is a vast Science and lessons plans will be created around your goal in music rather than a rigid method, though we will adhere to curriculum to be sure that we are thorough and you receive a complete music education. I have general curriculum, genre' specific curriculum such as Jazz, Blues etc. as well as curriculum geared toward training Church Musicians. Read More
Instruments: Piano
As I alluded to previously, I lean much more towards the traditional end of the spectrum in regards to teaching. That being said, I also make a concerted effort to make my piano lessons fun and engaging for the student. I have had the great fortune of getting to study the piano under some really kind and inspiring people, and I try to emulate them the best I can. I want students to know I care about them without coming across as disingenuous, and I don't want them to ever feel afraid to ask a question. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trombone
For beginner piano students, I start from teaching out of the Piano Adventure Series, and Theory Time books. The Piano Adventure Series is great because the song arrangements have tiered piano proficiency for beginner to intermediate players. After students work in these books, other repertoire can be added to perform for holidays and recitals. For trombone students, I first make sure my students make characteristic sounds and introduce music to meet their playing level. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Recorder
My musical experiences started at church in the 80's when I discovered that I could sing really high notes imitating Christian artists like Sandy Patty and the late puertorican soprano Yolanda Vadiz. Those experiences motivated me to consider studying music seriously not just like another hobby. I started studying voice techniques at the age of 20 at the Sacred Music Institute in the Methodist Church in Hato Rey, PR. There I took classes with tenor Jose Torres and baritone Rafael Cotto who prepared me for the audition at the Conservatory of Music of Puerto Rico. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I love working with children and helping them discover the piano and the joy of playing music. I graduated from Baylor University with a Bachelor of Music degree in Piano Pedagogy and have been teaching ever since. I am an active member of the Richardson Music Teachers Association, which affords many musical opportunities for my students. My students participate in several festivals through RMTA throughout the year, and also participate in the state theory exam, if desired. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet Saxophone Flute Clarinet
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I decided to become a professional Musician once I was accepted to the Chicago symphony youth orchestral in the 4th grade. I was hired by the University of Chicago to teach private lesson to high school students when I was a sophomore In highs school. This has been a awesome journey and I am ready to plant plenty more seed into the new students that will allow me to embark upon their journey as a musician.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes music runs in my family. My grandmother had 12 children and all of them sang in the choir and played different instruments . They was called the Crosby Harmonizers and they performed throughout Chicago IL. I come from a family of 6 and my mother played the clarinet, my brothers sang in the choir, and two of them played the trumpet. One of my brothers was accepted to the same college I went to on a full scholarship playing his trumpet. My sister and I did clarinet and flute duets in the church. I Have a 7 year old daughter that plays the clarinet and she is in the north Memphis mass marching band.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I currently have a Bachelors of Science in Music Performance. Being introduced to music at a very young age lead me into wanting to continue my passion with music. My gift made room for me to teach students something that is very special to this world. Music is something special and it relax our mind and prepare for peaceful environment.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love to play gospel, classical, R&B, Hiphop, Jazz, Marching band music and the list goes on.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
Once you learn how to play the clarinet, its very easy to learn the saxophone and flute because they are very similar in many ways .
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice section usually runs between 45min to a 1hr. We will have warm up time and then we will proceed in to our normal lesson. I will allow students to help me to better assist them on what they will like to learn and accomplish through out their lesson. If the students have any music from school that they need to tackle and work on we will work on that as well as the material I have prepared for the lesson. Sight reading rhythms and cross curriculum assignment will also be apart of our weekly lessons.
