At that age, it's all about their goals, since the students are self-sufficient and able to decide what's best for their goals on their own. As far as method books go, I like Hal Leonard's Essential Elements (I've used those methods a lot when teaching middle school band) for young students, Hanon's exercises and Bela Bartok's Mikrokosmos for intermediate piano, and trips to Guitar Center for adult guitarists (I'm serious: John Petrucci has a great method for Rock Guitar, for example).

Setting S.M.A.C. goals for my students is very important. These are specific, measurable, achievable and challenging. Nothing makes me feel more accomplished as when I help my student feel accomplished and reach their goals. I have a very non critical approach and encourage mistakes with a non judgemental attitude. I feel this lightens up the atmosphere and allows the student to grow at a much more rapid rate. Read More

I have taught private lessons for years and while in college I served in a 82 plus concert collegiate choir as the President, Vice President, Soprano Section leader and assistant Section leader. I am classically trained, as well as have experience in singing different languages. As a music therapist I have had the opportunity to utilize music to help other address non musical goals increasing their overall quality of life. I have advance training in voice, and intermediate training in piano and guitar playing. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to my college years, when I first began offering private lessons on a part-time basis over fifteen years ago. What started as a way to share my knowledge and support my own musical development quickly grew into a lasting and fulfilling part of my career. Teaching has allowed me to engage with students at many different stages of their musical journeys, and over the years I have developed an approach that emphasizes consistency, enjoyment, and long-term growth.

For beginners on guitar and piano, I start by introducing a basic understanding of music theory, so the students are comfortable with the fundamental mappings of notes and intervals. From there, I teach chords, scales, rhythms and song composition. I work with my students based on their individual musical preferences and desires -- whether you want to learn how to play your favorite songs, how to write your own songs, or how to play lead lines and solos, I'm here to support and nurture your craft!

I have been teaching music for 8 years, starting while in college. I have thoroughly enjoyed teaching students from ages 4 to 20 to sing and play instruments because if you're not having fun when you're doing music, you're not doing it right. I love getting to see my students have breakthroughs as they develop their own musical personalities. I have also enjoyed my work with school and church ensembles ranging from ages 13 to 85 and can help my students have success at any level. Read More

My teaching experience began right after high school where I joined my musician friends teaching at K-Piano Music Academy. I taught children beginner piano schools K-5 in an afterschool program and have been teaching aspiring musicians mostly online since 2020. Now I want to expand my experience to the people in our community, encouraging musicians of all skill levels to bring them to another level they might not have expected. I focus on "learning how to learn" techniques that can take you far. Read More
