I always ask my students what their goals are, both short and long term. This then gives me a good outline of how I expect our lessons to go. My biggest goal is not just for my students to grow and progress but also to have fun! We sing because we love it, and it gives us joy to do it and share it with others. While I do strive to challenge my students, I never want them to leave a lesson discouraged. Read More

My teaching experience has dated back to 2002 when I began instructing professionally. Since then I have had the opportunity to help students reach their goals.

It is something that I have seen time and time again as student progress from the beginner stages to more advanced stages. Read More

I have been teaching now for more than 7 years, starting fresh out of High School. I encourage my students to follow their dreams and put their all into their craft. I find that my students reap better rewards when they have a consistent and concise method of practicing, to which they can develop with my help and then "out grow" their need for my instruction. One of my goals as an educator is to build self sufficient humans that can tackle the challenges of not only their instrument, but their lives as well. Read More

During the first lesson I have the student sing (if it is a vocal lesson) their favorite song so I can hear them. After that i use my keyboard and take the student through some excersizes to really home in on that range. I listen for qualities and we discuss the positives and what improvements are needed. After the first lesson we choose music: a classical art song book and theory book of my choosing, and a songbook of the student's choosing. Read More

I have taught guitar and voice lessons periodically for the past 15 years. I've never had more than 3 students at a time and it was more of a side gig for friends, family, and attenders of the churches I worked at. Many of my students learn how to play quickly and proficiently. I have even had a few students go on to play music professionally. I'm excited to focus more of my time on helping others develop their passions for music. Read More
