I base my every teaching style according to what the individual student needs . Teaching a class of 60 students is much different than a one on one class. No two people are the same and so they should not be taught the same exact way. For ex. Some students are very driven and need to learn control- to slow down and learn awareness, rhythmic sensitivity. Conversely, students who lack conviction and confidence need to listen to classic recordings to gain inspiration , drive. Read More

My passion for sharing knowledge begin during my time as high school tuba section leader, which led to Senior band president. Assisting my peers so we could sound better via musical corrections, this would build our confidence levels and the moral throughout the ensemble. I furthered my passion for music at Berklee College of Music, where I studied various aspects, methods, and approaches to educating someone about the art of music. Read More

For beginners I start teaching basic chords and chord patterns to generate interest for the student. Then I use the Hal Leonard Guitar method to teach the fundamentals of reading music, music theory, etc. Then as the student grasps these simple tools I teach songs to reinforce how chord patterns work and finally move to the type of music the student is interested in. For intermediate and advanced students I find out the level of competance the student currently has and tailor a program based on the needs of each student. Read More

Every student has a unique journey. My goal as a teacher is always to build understanding for my students, and never utilize methods that are 'tricking' anyone into success. I want to give my students the tools to begin finding success on their own and grow independently of my teaching. I utilize systematic approaches to building progress, giving exercises that the student can take home and practice daily to ensure rapid progression. Read More

My life has always been about music, not only in performance, but in teaching, and collaboration. I believe everyone has music in them, no matter what age. One afternoon when I was watching Mr. Rogers Neighborhood I saw in the episode a classical pianist. I was so enamored by the sound of the piano and the classical piece that was being performed I immediately ran to my room, turned my little keyboard on and did my very best to imitate what I saw and heard.

I like to tailor my lessons towards the styles that the student is interested, while also teaching about music theory, reading, and any music history that is relevant to the students' interests. For rock and pop music, I find that there are a wealth of songbooks available. For students interested in classical guitar, I like using Christopher Parkening's guitar method; it contains a great deal of useful information and diagrams, as well as a great selection of beginner pieces.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Repetition and going to the specific measure or line that is giving problems is effectively practicing. Once one gets the specific piece, adding on a measure at a time will reinforce the learned material through repetition.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on the trombone is the slide-tongue technique, where the slide correlated with the tongue of the performer. It can be quite difficult, but practicing using slide movement warm-ups will help aid in the mastery in this technique.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am proud to be one of the first female trombone section leaders at South Carolina State University, and the first female section leader at my high school. I have performed in so many places, but my most favorite accomplishment was performing in the Honda Battle of the Bands. I had grown up watching the Honda Battle of the Bands as a child. I always told myself that I would one day be apart of a Historically Black College and University (HBCU) Band perform in the event. Through practice, hard word, and diligence, I was able to perform in the event--3 times.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose the trombone because it was different from any other instrument in music. I truly enjoy the slide and I feel truly at peace when playing it.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes, my high school band director was my main inspiration to become a music teacher. He molded me as a musician and motivated me to be the person that I know I could be. He challenged me through challenging pieces of music and he was like a second father to me. He truly was always there for his students.
When will I start to see results?
It depends on your child, how much the student practices, and how the student keeps up with the lessons. You will see results when you can see your student progressively being able to blow through the instrument obtaining sound. It does take time and Rome was not built in a day, but progress will show when the student is comfortable and confident in what they are performing.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Children actually are ready to start lessons at a young age. It all depend on how engaging the instructor is that determines how much your student will gain from the lesson. I have worked with students as young as three years old, and they have been beyond ready for lessons
