Instruments: Trombone
I teach my students to practice a growth mindset. As musicians, I find that we can easily become perfectionists. While I think it is important to critique ourselves so we can improve, my policy is that my students critique themselves based on their own progress. For example, instead of comparing themselves to other students at an audition, I encourage them to compare themselves to who they were yesterday. I truly believe that students can more easily reach their full potential when they are focused on growth rather than competition against others. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet
As a product of "the system", I generally teach "the system". By that I mean that in the education system here in Texas has been teaching this same way for years and years. After a year or two learning the fundamentals, scales and phrasing, then one gets to study the Ferling etudes for region band and a few basic solos for solo and ensemble. Depending on what the student wants to learn, I can teach anything they want. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone Clarinet
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! I try to meet my students at the crossover of challenging while keep them engaged and having fun. 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. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet
Understanding the student's interest would be my priority goal. Helping students not just playing the instrument, but also loving it, so they will cherish the time with their instruments. Having fun while learning music is always my target in teaching music. Students and parents are welcome to provide the music they would love to learn. That should keep their attention in having fun. At the same time, other-focused material would be assigned, so the students will maintain a great foundation in playing music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar
Throughout college I have taught freelance to different students. I have helped peers study and work through new pieces.I maintained a private student schedule while also continuing my education. I have been playing guitar and piano for years and am well versed in many different styles Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Cello Bass Guitar Keyboard
As I have previously stated, I tailor my lessons to each individual student in order to maximize their learning potential. Yes, I do usually assign one piece that will be good for them to learn even if it is not their favorite song to play, but the rest of the time I make sure that it is music they are going to enjoy. If a student loves Disney songs, then you can bet that's going to be an assignment. Read More

Hey Guys, I'm a very enthusiastic person with a passion for teaching and love for knowledge. I graduate from NMSU with my BM in music performance in 2010. I've had great sucess and am well traveled when it comes to music. From symphonies to quartets, jazz ensembles to rock bands, I've done it all. I'm a recent Texas transplant and I really excited to begin working! Read More
Instruments: Flute Piccolo
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My degree is a BS in Arts Administration with a minor in Radio/TV from Butler University in Indianapolis, IN. For a while I thought about being a Music Education major, but felt like I would be in a better position for administration so I would have more experiences to delve into upon graduation.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I like to welcome the student and check in quickly to see how their week was. Then I would get started on scales, a few major and minor scales, as well as harmonic and melodic versions of the minor scales. Then, I like to do some short etudes in my student's text-type book. I like to end a lesson by going through the areas of full pieces that need the most help. I love to hear a piece in its entirety if there's time to do so.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Hal Leonard is my go-to regimen for students. It's a comprehensive method which builds on the techniques needed to excel technically. I used this as a young student and feel it is a great base for young flautists.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
For me, the technical runs, trills, double and triple tonguing, 32nd note runs...I could go on and on. I could always feel the music. The technical side of hitting all the notes and having the breath support to sustain it is paramount.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I have loved teaching and witnessing how much a student has grown. That is the reason why I teach in the first place. Prior to that, I loved playing in ensembles in large music halls. You feel larger than life.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I've had my most recent student win a first place medal with her wind ensemble at their state contest. I've been working with her to enter a solo piece, but she's very shy and doesn't want to do a solo. I've also encouraged her to do a duet or trio with other flautists and I would help them as they practice. It hasn't happened yet, but I think she's more willing now than a year ago. Here's hoping she can overcome her stage fright.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My aunt thought I had the mouth to play the flute. I also loved the way it sounded. It was a challenging instrument in that one must have a tremendous amount of air flow, as it is not easy to breathe with a flute, it takes stamina and practice.
