Instruments: Violin Viola
It's my goal to teach in a way that relates to the individual student and their goals. I spend time focusing on at what stage each student is at, in the accomplishment of their goals. Encouragement and patient accomplishment are important aspects of my lessons. I teach the importance of being patient with one's self and keeping focus on goals at hand. I believe we can teach and learn better in a very caring, supportive environment and that each student has the ability to achieve their individual goals! Read More
Instruments: Trumpet
I have taught elementary, Jr. High, and High school band as well as private students since 1980. Several of my students have gone on to be professional musicians and school teachers as well. I have performed all over the Front Range and throughout Colorado for almost 50 years. I direct a community orchestra and have played my trumpet in Jazz, symphonic orchestras, and bands for almost 50 years. I started teaching private lessons in 1974 and can teach any style and ability level. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet
Throughout my musical career ranging from fourth grade on up to the college level I have played in many groups stemming from small ensembles up to bands and orchestras. I have had the privilege of playing with some top quality players and studying with some of the best teachers and professors on all levels. I have had experience with many different styles of music including jazz, classical, blues, swing and rock. Read More
Instruments: Flute Piccolo
For beginning flutists, I typically start with the Rubank Elementary Method so that they can have a basic grasp of the fundamentals. Beyond that, I introduce books according to their musical goals and needs. Some of the books my students have studied out of are the Rubank Intermediate/Advanced books and the Melodious and Progressive Studies edited by Cavally. In addition, I have each student regularly work on solo literature so that they can put their hard work on fundamentals into practice. Read More
Instruments: Cello
I was an Assistant Professor in the National Conservatory of Guatemala for 2 years. I was a teacher from some programs with the State of Guatemala in the country side and the capital city, and a member of the string quartet "Ad-libitum". I went to Honduras, El Salvador, Dominican Republic as a teacher in new programs with each country. I gave private lessons for 3 years and I was a part of the academy "New Song" for 1 year. Read More
Instruments: Drums Recorder Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion
In 2015-2016 I worked at Archimedean Middle Conservatory in Miami, FL teaching 6-8th grade general music. All students learned drum rudiments and call and response techniques. I also ran an after-school drum program where students learned more complex rudiments, rhythms, and how to play as a group. From 2013-2015 I taught at Keys Gate School where I ran a similar after-school drum program. From 2004 to now I have taught private drum lessons. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trombone Euphonium Keyboard
Nothing is more satisfying than seeing students passionately pursue and succeed in the musical goals they set for themselves. I encourage students to set smaller, individual goals that can help them reach the larger goals they may have. Each student is unique and all students deserve to learn in the mode or format that is most effective. It is my role to both welcome the uniqueness of each student as well as offer multiple styles from which students can learn. Read More

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child shows an interest in music, s/he is ready to start lessons! The best way to determine if your child is ready for formal music lessons is to simply observe how he/she reacts to music, their interest level in instruments, and how often they engage in musical activities. It's usually not until age six or older that kids are truly ready to learn to play an instrument successfully for the long term.
So, how do you get your child excited about music?
Watch, Learn, Engage
For many kids, just having access to musical instruments piques their interest. Do you have a piano in your house, or know someone who does? Does your child sit at the piano and bang on the keys to make "beautiful" music? Does your elder child have a drum set that your youngest is obsessed with? Perhaps hiring a private tutor or looking into local lessons are in order. You'll find out pretty quickly how interested they are in music based on how they react to practice and lesson time.
Set Some Ground Rules
If you do decide to take the formal lesson route, it is important to set ground rules with your child about lesson and practice time. If your child isn't ready to put the time in, perhaps he/she isn't quite ready to tackle the musical world in a formal way yet. Hiding in the closet until the lesson is half over is a good sign that more time might be needed.
Be Their Biggest Fan
Even though it might sound like nails on a chalkboard, it is essential for parents to take a supportive role when their children are learning to master an instrument or beginning to sing. Reinforce that they are getting better, encourage practice, and follow up with rewards to keep them energized. If they feel your support, they are more likely to continue their dedication to music.
Join in the Fun
If you played an instrument when you were younger—or still do—don't be shy about it. Join your child and create a family band. Or if you just like to sing, grab a brush and rock out to that piano solo. Your interest will in turn keep your child's interest alive and growing.
There's no magic number quite as strong as a mother's intuition—so practice the above, and you'll soon sense when your child is ready to graduate from Tupperware to tuba.
