Instruments: Piano

I employ methods from the Peery Piano Academy by Christie Skousen, as well as added techniques I have found to be most helpful. I utilize fun games, flashcards, and a rewards system that encourages my students to stay focused on the task at hand while learning and retaining new information. I keep an organized studio and adjust my teaching to each student according to age, goals, and skill level. I tend to bounce between different materials depending on the need of the student and have used Faber Faber, Alfred, and Keith Snell. Read More

Instruments: Violin Viola

Each person is different. Because of this, I always make sure each student is going at their own pace. At the beginning of the year, I sit down with each student and we set goals for our playing. I want students to feel motivated and inspired always, and to practice because they love it- not because they feel forced. I have competitions within the studios to motivate practicing, and talk about what we can do at home to make the violin/viola more fun. Read More

Instruments: Voice

I approach each student differently because each person has different strengths, needs, and goals. No two lessons are ever taught the same way because each one is tailored to the individual. I am happy to work with students on specific repertoire for auditions or other events, and/or on general literature simply for the love of singing and the joy of growth. It is important to realize that much of success depends on the motivation of the student and that there are no "quick fixes," but if we work together with realistic expectations, everyone will be successful.

I believe the foundation of successful learning is based on a trusting relationship between student and teacher. I strive to get to know my students more each week and take an interest in their lives outside of the music world - I want my students to succeed in every facet of their lives! Furthermore, I want my students to feel confident with their playing. Oftentimes, I will ask open-ended questions to understand how my students feel they are doing. Read More

My teaching experience mainly comes from my two years of teacher training as part of my degree in keyboard pedagogy. I would assist in teaching a group class of beginners ages 5-6 and an adult class for music majors. I have also taught privately in person and online to both adults and children. I am excited to continue my teaching experience as I learn more about myself and how to be the best teacher I can be. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to my time in high school where I taught a few of my peers in informal lessons, this evolved into adopting a few more formal students that I taught through highschool until they reached an advanced level. I have also helped several of my students grow into songwriting outside of just playing an instrument. I also have experience teaching basic music theory. And have played and love teaching many genres. Read More
