My teaching style is just like most I think. I don't rush with the students. Always trying to go slow and make sure the students understands everything. I've gotten pretty good at figuring out when the students get what I'm trying to teach. If I feel like I'm going to fast I'll stop think about what I'm doing and slow down. It's easy to talk to fast and rush as a teacher because I've taught so many students. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Cello Bass Guitar Double Bass
I started my teaching carreer in 1994, teaching doublebass and bass guitar. Two years later I began offering guitar lessons. In 1998 I offered cello lessons. My passion for teaching has grown over the years, and brought me great pleasure helping beginner students gain skills, confidence, and a sense of pride and accomplishment in learning to successfully play a musical instrument. I been able to teac advanced bass students techniques that increased their playing skills and understanding of their instrument and music in general. My greatest pleasure was helping a young, nervous, shy, and self conscious young boy, and over time, with his efforts and my guidance, was able to apply and get accepted into music college. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
Every person has different strengths, weaknesses, motivators, and goals. I like to keep all of these things in mind before I start designing a lesson plan for each person. I like to make sure that I am teaching both the ear to listen and the eye to read, so I make sure I can improve the development of both by providing effective sight=reading and aural exercises in every lesson.

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a student's desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and need. can help you out. Read More

Instruments: Flute
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I have studied several other instruments, but I really only claim to play the flute well.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I am an English teacher by profession, and have performed professionally in musical settings occasionally over the last 20 years. I have done this in a variety of styles - chamber music, jazz, rock, Celtic, and contra dance bands. Most of my professional musical career has been in teaching, which began a long time ago. Teaching is in my blood, as is music, which I cannot live without.
When will I start to see results?
Results usually happen immediately, but expectations vary based on the instrument. Fortunately for flute players, the tone is easier to hear in the beginning than for string players. However, truly beautiful tones take time to develop. Within a month or two, any beginner can be playing duets with the teacher, something which brings great joy to both the student and the teacher, as well as little concert pieces. All of students have performed in recitals within a few months of beginning to lear the flute.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I have had several teachers that inspired me to go into music.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I wanted to play a variety of instruments as a child, but chose the flute due to its size and ease of transport. I was very young, only ten, so I didn’t understand the world of music performance very well yet.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
The most important indicator is interest, but for wind players, physical size can become important. Breathing is part of the rhythm of the body, so it helps if the child is at least 8 or 9 years old in most cases. Therefore, learning to play the violin at age 5 is more realistic than learning to play a wind instrument at the same age. If a child shows great desire to learn a specific instrument, then this is a very important sign that she or he is ready to start lessons, but children should also understand that learning to play an instrument requires time and patience, but is also a lot of fun!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
It is important to put in time practicing, but a little bit of time daily is better than a lot of time once a week. Be sure to practice when you have energy (not when you’re tired). Scales and studies are important to do consistently before approaching performance pieces. Developing a schedule that includes practice time is very important. I teach a lot of different “tricks”during lessons to help students overcome difficult passages. For wind players, it also very important to practice breath control, and there many exercises students can employ to accomplish this.
