I follow seven principles in my lessons. Read More

With a teacher-mom, I believe my teaching experience started as soon as I could wrangle the attention of my little sister or stuffed animals. Officially I did some tutoring and a pre-teacher program in high school, along with some volunteering at after school programs. I also tutored and taught private lessons while in college. In my student teaching semester, I taught P-12 music classes including band and music appreciation. After college I spent ten years with a Christian camping organization where I taught as well.

For beginning students, whether instrumentalists or vocalists, I focus first on establishing strong fundamentals. I often use structured, proven method books such as Hal Leonards Essential Elements, along with age appropriate warmups, technique builders, and simple ensemble pieces to build confidence and foundational skills. As students progress, I introduce solo and ensemble repertoire that matches their level and prepares them for their first performance opportunities. For intermediate and advanced students, I customize lessons based on their goals, instrument, and musical interests. Read More
