Instruments: Piano Guitar
I truly believe that if students are happy and enjoying what they play they will want to practice and sound better. I encourage students to try classical but we will dive into a more modern approach. Original compositions can also be a fun great way for students to want to practice. I also have a strong music theory and technology background to really make sure they are amazed by understanding the world of music. Read More

I love to sing and make music! I have sung with the Houston Symphony Chorus, Dallas Symphony Chorus, Mesquite Community Chorus, ASU Graduate and Doctoral chorales, and many worship teams, I have been in many musicals and was the lead in "Pirates of Penzance" and "The Consul". I was also in "Annie Get Your Gun", "South Pacific", and "Fiddler on the Roof". I was a soloist, singer, guitarist, and dancer in the show "TEXAS!" in the Palo Duro Canyon. Read More

I love seeing students develop a deep and lasting passion for the guitar! I want every student to feel at ease and comfortable while learning and help them set goals that push them to achieve whatever they set out to, while eager to learn more. My hope is to provide lessons in a clear and easy-to-follow to manner, so they can not only make progress in the lesson itself, but carry forward what they learn into their day-to-day practicing outside of the lessons and utilize the techniques effectively toward their progress on the guitar.

I am very easy teacher to learn from. I understand that every student is different, and learns at his or her own pace. I will move you along as fast or slow as you like, depending on how much information you are retaining. We will be doing a lot of memorization work, and written music theory, while you develop the necessary hand strength to play the guitar properly. So, with plenty of time, patience, and above all, PRACTICE, you will be well on your way to playing your favorite songs, and TEACHING YOURSELF new songs. Read More

I've been teaching music for more than 12 years now. I can honestly say that I enjoy teaching and sharing my knowledge of music. Not everyone can say that they truly enjoy their job so I feel blessed. I have taught hundreds of students ranging from ages 4 to 80! I have taught individuals, groups or online lessons. During the pandemic I was lucky to I keep working because of zoom lessons. I don't know what I would have done without zoom lessons. Read More

Most schools use the Hal Leonard Essential Elements and I tend to focus on this method as supplemental instruction but other methods are fine as well especially if the student is already working through a particular method book. For young students I encourage a mix of formal music instruction with music the student enjoys. Nothing unlocks a love of learning like discovering how your favorite music works! Adult students are welcome to tailor their lessons to their musical goals whether that's learning Bach or Breaking Benjamin! Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
After completing my BA in public relations I was awarded a teaching assistantship at the University of Arkansas to teach the basic speech requirement. I became pregnant and did not complete my MA but began teaching private piano lessons part time while raising my children. As the needs of my family changed I began working with children in other ways such as coaching ball teams. For 10 years I served on my citys Parks Board and have worked as a local coordinator for foreign exchange students. Read More
Instruments: Drums
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Challenge yourself, and keep score. With drums it is a matter of perfecting as well as building stamina and muscle over time. Play an easy song with size C-5 sticks, add a few 16ths here and there on the hi-hat, make it game. You want to be limber, comfortable, familiar and adaptable when playing the drums. Try to play a variety of rhythms, change between them, alternate, collate, change time signature. Develop the basic rudiments of rock and jazz into a fun game when you practice and warm up alone.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Under 5 it can be hard to tell, as drums are a primal attraction of children and incredibly fun. However tapping their feet at a young age is often said to be a tell tale sign of a future drummer; as well as emulating musicians and drummers when seen in real life. Sometimes a toy drumset is a good test: some kids may blow you away with an original rhythm! If you're still unsure, see how long they can keep a rhythm in a basic hand clapping game with them or iphone/tablet synthesizer. Music and electronic technology have diverged into the ultimate child musician identifier.
When will I start to see results?
4-5 weeks.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Professor Paul Davies and Robert Hartwell at Foothill College in Los Altos both fully engulfed my in the academics of music in a way I don't think either one of them will ever realize. The effect they have had on my knowledge of music and discovery of new music was truly profound.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
It chose me to be perfectly honest. I was drumming out 7/4 on the dinner table with no training or lessons. My aunt and uncle would babysit me and take me to their marching band practice and events. The best view of my uncle playing horn would be right next to the tympani and snare in the orchestra pit. At 2 I would kick my crib in time to pink floyd and bebop jazz.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My songs and my albums.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite genres to play are rock, metal, jazz fusion and post rock. These are among the most challenging as they are the most demanding both for stamina and innovation. Jazz drums could very well be the most fun kind of music to play, and when combined with your favorite world genres the possibilities are endless. My favorite record to play front to back The Inner Mounting Flame by Mahavishnu Orchestra.
