Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Clarinet Drums Tuba
I am a music teacher at heart and love teaching students and shedding new light on different parts of the world of music performance. I graduated from the University of Florida in 2010 with my Bachelor's degree in Music Education. From there, I taught music at Orlando Science Schools in Orlando, FL for 2 years. I then started teaching 6th-12th grade band at Trenton Middle/High School for 4 years. My students have participated in all state and various levels of Solo and Ensemble competitions. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I began teaching my first student when I was in high school. I enjoyed it so much that I decided then that I would incorporate teaching piano in my future. After I had my twins and became a stay at home mom, I began to teach students in my studio. I was instructed by two professors for almost 20 years in private lessons. I have played for more than 300 weddings, funerals, and receptions. Read More
Instruments: Drums
Reading is my main way of getting things into perspective. I originally learned by ear, it paid off for live situation but, reading is where I found the most connection. Once that is accomplished the ear and the mind will be in tune. I also do enjoy listening to the student for their wants and needs. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I have seventeen years of experience teaching piano. I teach musical expression through the instruction of sequential musical skills, varied repertoire, sight reading, ear-training, music theory and technique. My purpose is to help each student develop a love and appreciation of music. I hope that music will be an avenue of fulfillment and a source of joy that will last them a lifetime. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
I began teaching at Derby Yamaha Music School, UK, coaching classes and private lessons for voice and piano. After leaving England, I began teaching at Pladd Dot Music, Statesboro. Here, I taught many students both voice and piano. Two in particular required coaching in their respective pageant and regional championship. Working together on technique etc, the students gained the title of Miss Hummingbird, as well as qualification to Miss Georgia, and qualification to regional championship this summer (2016).

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I do have some family members who are into music. My cousin is a wonderful pianist who studied Jazz at Loyola University New Orleans, and my uncle is a Classical guitar enthusiast.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I remember wanting to become a musician the moment I saw Paul McCartney live. I was 8 years and I thought to myself "I want to do that".
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
My second instrument was classical guitar. I had a student come to me and said they wanted to learn classical guitar. When I started playing, I quickly realized that my fingerstyle techniques from bass translated really well.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Skateboarding and baseball!
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite genre to play is Jazz. I feel like it gives me freedom to express myself musically while challenging me to focus on not just what I am playing, but what the entire band is playing.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Chromatic Fantasy by Bach on bass. Jaco Pastorius performed this piece on a fretless bass. To me, this song represents the ultimate ability of dexterity on the bass guitar.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have an Associate's Degree is Music & Technology with a focus in bass guitar. I chose this because I always loved to play bass and I wanted to learn every aspect of music theory around it.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I spend 10 minutes warming up and stretching my hands. If I have something pressing (like a setlist for an upcoming show), I will spend 40 minutes learning the songs; followed by a 20 minute break. I will repeat this process until I'm day for the day.
If there is nothing pressing, I will do 20 minutes of timing, 20 minutes of scales, 20 minute break, 20 minutes of speed, and then repeat until I'm done for the day.
All in all: 40 minutes of practice, 20 minute break, and repeat!
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master is the discipline to practice everyday. It is not easy to practice when you don't want to. In those moments, it is important to have an end goal in the big picture. That way you can remember why you need to practice.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I choose the Hal Leonard books. From my experience, it has some of the best reading exercises for kids. Overall, their books are accessible and easy for beginners to follow.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
In elementary school, I had a music teacher named Ms. Snyder. She showcased a wide variety of instruments in her class and was able to incorporate music games around all of them.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
As a child, I was a big fan of Paul McCartney and how he used the bass as a songwriter. As I got older, I discovered Flea and became amazed by the possibilities of what could be played on the bass.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Time management. I recommend writing out a practice schedule. This will help make sure the student hits everything evenly and helps prevent over-practicing.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
They are ready when they express a strong interest in music. It is time when all the child wants to do is listen to and play music. It is not necessarily the age that determines if a child is ready, but it is their drive and focus.
When will I start to see results?
It all depends on how much time your are willing to put into practicing and what your end goal is. That being said, as long as you strongly commit to practicing, you can generally start to see in results in about a month.
