Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Mallet Percussion

I have been teaching music for 8 years, starting while in college. I have thoroughly enjoyed teaching students from ages 4 to 20 to sing and play instruments because if you're not having fun when you're doing music, you're not doing it right. I love getting to see my students have breakthroughs as they develop their own musical personalities. I have also enjoyed my work with school and church ensembles ranging from ages 13 to 85 and can help my students have success at any level. Read More

It my job to meet the student where he/she from skill set standpoint and interest level.  Then I build the skills accordingly.  Once I begin to intervene with my students,I make the lessons approachable, so that the students feel comfortable, confident and challenged at the same time.  I am gentle, however, my expectations are high, even for my lowest student.  It is my belief is that as long as there is a desire for excellence, I will help you to the top!  If a student is willing to grow, then I am willing to show them the road map to meeting his/her fullest potential!

Instruments: Piano Drums Keyboard

My methods to teaching beginners piano is very logical in that it the fundamentals I teach build upon each other. You can think of if like a pyramid. On the bottom of the pyramid we start with the notes of the piano. By the end of lesson one it is my goal for the student to know the name of every single note on the 88-key piano/keyboard. It's easier than it sounds and the students will find out that they can retain and learn more in one lesson than what they thought they could. Read More

Instruments: Piano Flute Ukulele Recorder Piccolo

I began teaching private flute lessons while in college in Ohio, and really expanded my individual lesson techniques while living in Phoenix. In addition to teaching large groups of flute beginners and intermediate students within the band setting at a public elementary school, I also excel in teaching beginners individeually at whatever age. My favorite part of teaching is seeing the "spark" in a student's eyes when understanding is reached, and they can do something they were struggling with before. Read More

I use books recommended to me by the music stores, Opus Winds in Decatur, Ga. I also consult with other music teachers at times and shop for music that my students tell me they would like to learn. I also tell them they can shop at musicnotes.com and I will help them learn to play pieces they like.  There is something to be learned from the way any genre of music is composed. Read More
