Teaching students has always been a passion of mine. To get the student to understand and figure out exactly what I can do to make the student be the best player possible is always something I strive for. Many students learn in a wide variety of styles. As an instructor, I have learned to adapt to each style as best as I can, and make sure I have every lesson prepared for each student. Read More

With beginning piano students, I use the Faber series of lesson, perfomance, theory and technique books. It's a great set that progresses fluidly and keeps students well rounded in their skills. In addition, I encourage students to use flash cards to practice with note names and musical symbols and terms. For percussion students, I would teach basic snare drum and 2-mallet techniques. This may come from basic rudiment lists, school curriculum, or any additional books appropriate for the student's level. Read More

I think it is important for lessons to not only be instructional, but also engaging and fun. Being a great teacher is about learning from the student just as much as the student learning from you. It is impossible to be a great teacher without learning the student's interests, strengths, previous knowledge and background, and their goals in music. I like to introduce all types of music, because students may not know what they like or might be missing out on something they haven't tried before. Read More

I am a music teacher in the public schools and have been for fifteen years. I graduated from University of Northern Iowa with A Bachelors in Teaching Music.

Every student has the ability to play and instrument and need to find out how to master the gift of music. Read More
