Music Lessons in Coyote, CA

Instruments: Piano Voice Accordion Music Keyboard

I am from a family of musicians. As a child I performed all over California. As an adult I still perform and teach piano, composition, and voice. I also have been successful in teaching through distant learning so although I am located in California, I am able to reach my students and make a difference in their musical lives. I am an accomplished composer, pianist and vocalist. As a piano student I was asked directly into the piano Masters program at California State University Fresno thus bypassing the bachelor studies.

Instruments: Voice

Each lesson is individualized. No lesson is ever just door to door singing. Sometimes we have to talk about the repertoire, talk about the text and grow from each. That does not always mean that you are singing for every minute of the lesson. The student I am there as a guide and allow the students creativity to take us on the journey. I believe...I live.. with an ideology of a truly holistic approach to teaching and singing. Read More

Instruments: Flute Piccolo Music

As I mentioned before, each student is unique, so I don't teach everyone the same way. Instead, I have a highly flexible teaching style, which allows me to meet a student's individual needs for lessons. I take the time to learn about my students' learning preferences and create new ways to teach material that will make more sense for them. For example: singing a rhythm for an auditory learner, versus patting the rhythm on our legs with a tactile learner, versus drawing visual representations of rhythm for a visual learner. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar

I have been teaching privately since undergraduate college days. In addition to private lessons on guitar and piano, I have facilitated group workshops, directed ensembles, and tutored reading comprehension in some Oakland public schools. It's a profound joy to see young children have their first musical experiences as well as to see the fire of music be rekindled in those who have put an instrument down and have decided to pick it up once again.

Instruments: Piano

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 students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. I require practice be done in between lessons so that we are not practicing during lesson time, which slows progress. Read More

Instruments: Violin Cello Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Recorder Euphonium Music

I was raised in Ohio where I spent my early years dancing. However, as I matured I realized I didn't enjoy dancing so much as I love the music I was moving too. I started on the clarinet in middle school and continued through high school. In college I picked up other instruments as I studied to become a classroom music teacher. I was also a military wife for 16 years before my husband retired from the Navy (so I moved around a lot) and I have 3 children of my own. Read More
