Music Lessons in Catalina, AZ

Instruments: Piano

I love teaching piano to young ones and watch their convidence grow. I remember when at the age of 8, learning piano that my enthusiaism was overflowing, My instructor was strictly classical and I discovered Boogie. I was so dissappointed not to broaden my horizons and we parted ways. Music appreciation in public school gave me a wide range of influence to choose from. Sharing with other musicians also gave me experience to grow. Read More

While I think its important to have a solid classical background, if a student happens to be passionate about another genre of music, I want to help them thrive in what they love. While my experience has been mostly classical, I also have experience in pop music, jazz, musical theater, and mariachi music. With adult beginner students, I find that it is often most effective to take a less structured approach, and use a more repertoire based learning experience. Read More

My inspiration as a music teacher comes from the smiles of all my students. Whether that be from teaching their favorite pop song or classical repertoire, the joy from teaching always keeps me motivated. My volunteer work with several projects for young students in poverty simply stress the importance of music, and how it is linked to the development of the brain. If listening to music is such a brain workout, imagine playing it, imagine making it yourself! Read More

Patience is the key. It is the fundamental requirement of a string teacher. I believe I am the most patient teacher you can find in Arizona. I taught 1 student with ADD, and I developed his talent on music. After 2 years training with me, his concentration had been improved significantly, and he played 2 recitals successfully. Read More

I believe that a good teacher helps students teach themselves. Most of a students learning will be done on his or her own at home or in a practice room, so a teacher must give them the necessary tools to succeed, as well as constant support and encouragement. My goal is to teach healthy, grounded singing, no matter what musical style my students are interested in pursuing. I focus on balanced and centered body alignment, accurate body mapping, an easy breathing technique, and vibrancy/flexibility in sound. Read More

I am a caring and motivating music teacher and I love using students gifts to help develop their musicianship goals. I graduated from the University of Arizona in December of 2019 with a Bachelor of Music Education. My greatest passion is playing and teaching Irish music because I was given the opportunity to study abroad while in college and fell in love with the music tradition. I have traveled and played flute and Irish Tin Whistle in many countries and I hope to inspire students to reach for what they are passionate about with open arms. Read More
