I will admit will full confidence that I am the type of teacher to keep it laid back and casual, but will not let my student stop giving me their full effort. If anything, they will be disappointing themself in the future, and I refuse to allow that to happen. If I do not make my student laugh in the first ten minutes of the lesson, then I have failed to make them comfortable for that lesson. 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.

Instruments: Voice, Trumpet, Drums, Music, Keyboard

My philosophy on how I teach is similar to the technics I learned during my undergraduate studies. I believe in letting the students learn the best way they can and how ever they feel more comfortable learning. With that being said I only want to enhance what they know not make them like me or every one else. Music is a art form as well as a true discipline thus I want to encourage consistency but most of all I want to stress artistry. Read More

Instruments: Trumpet

My teaching experience's started at the Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame, under the direction of Leah Tucker. Majority of my students have received full scholarship to major Universities. Such as University of Alabama, Tennessee State, and Alabama State University. I've learned over the years teaching classical helps students control there instruments and develop a great tone. I look forward to working with all ages. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument.
