I strike a balance between pushing for skill and making sure a student has fun. That balance rests on communication how invested, listened to, and motivated they feel. To establish that communication, we'll talk each week about progress, concerns, and triumphs. I also try to find the roots of problems. The reason you're squeezing the bow could be the same reason you're playing faster than the metronome, and I'll be the annoying (metaphorical) speed bump making you slow down and relax. Read More

Each lesson typically has one large idea that is focused on, and given the proper amount of care, those big ideas transfer from fundamental technique to true music making. I also pride myself on being a very relaxed and inviting teacher. Each milestone is celebrated and whenever something difficult is overcome in a lesson, I make a point to remind all my students of what they're capable of, both in music and in life! Read More

Since I have a variety of instruments and style I teach and since the needs of each student are different, I structure my materials and teaching methods for the individual. I particularly enjoy teaching beginners and young children. I've taught piano from many books including John Thompson books and Hal Leonard Series. Both my mother and grandmother were pianists and teachers. The teach classical guitar from the newer Aaron Shearer books (Mel Bay) and beginning guitar from my own books and other beginning guitar books (especially Mel Bay). Read More

As a senior in highschool, I was offered to teach beginning violin lessons at the homeschool co-op I was attending.

The summer following my senior year, I greatly enjoyed being a camp leader for the Anderson University Summer String Camp. Read More
