Instruments: Piano
My teaching experience began when I was a senior in high-school My sister had taught a few students in our neighborhood and asked me to take on her students when she moved away to attend college. I gladly did and discovered my love and passion for teaching. I taught consistently from 2003-2005 in Gilroy, until I attended Fresno Pacific University. I took a brief hiatus from teaching to focus on my own studies, but began teaching again in 2008-2011. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music
I am fairly new to teaching, but have taught 1-4 grade general music, 5-6 grade choir, and am currently a high school choir director. I have performed in many choral settings including professional choirs with full orchestras. I have made debuts in operas. I have also directed and assisted choirs in the learning process and in performance. To create a healthy vocal sound, I encourage vocalizing everyday for at least 30 minutes. Read More
Instruments: Lute
I have worked with students and professionals alike for many years. There are times that a player needs to focus on technique - other times, interpretation. Music can be complex with many moving parts (literally.) In my personal experience, a student-teacher relationship is based on mutual goals and understanding with communication being the bridge between the two. My students are in a sense, my responsibility. That is to say that their development, happiness and satisfactions are quite important to me. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Ukulele Recorder Music Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
My musical background and experience started my early years. My family and I sang together, in church, in school, and in shows and special events. I began studying singing and song leading with my father at age six, piano with my mother at age seven, and guitar with my cousin at age thirteen. Through the years, my love of music—performing, learning, teaching, and sharing has never waned. My college studies focused on voice, church music, and conducting, and my graduate work emphasized choral music performance, music education, theory, and history. Read More
Instruments: Cello
I like to give my students a range of music they can choose from something that they would like to play, something that would make them want to practice because they are interested in learning It. All my students will have homework. They have till the next time I see them which is usually a weeks time period. This is important because it can’t be too much work it has to be engaging and fun but technical so that the student can improve their skills. Read More

I've been teaching for around 2 and a half years. I started by just teaching my friends and one summer I was given the opportunity to teach at the United Conservatory Of Music. After I decided that I would like to start my own private studio. I always welcome new students of all ages, I have taught kids as young as 4 years old and also worked with people who are older than 60. Read More
Instruments: Trombone
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I feel like I have had several accomplishments and awards with music, but the things I’m most proud of are the moments I’ve had as a teacher. There is just no feeling cooler than watching something click for one of your students, and watching them grow and create their own accomplishments.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I originally wanted to play the flute, and they stuck me on trombone! I was so upset at first, but they told me I would get more scholarships being a girl trombone player, haha! While this wasn’t true, this is what got me started! I was very bad when I started and couldn’t even make a sound on my instrument. However, once I finally figured it out, I fell in love with my instrument and it has been a huge part of my life ever since!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Breaking things apart! When practice sessions aren’t going how we would like them to, often it’s because you are trying to process more information than your brain can handle in the moment. This can look like breaking it down to a few measures at a time, or breaking down the elements (play only the rhythm, play only the notes, etc).
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Lessons are for every student at every level! A student is ready to be in lessons if they’re ready to put time and dedication into their instrument. If students are not prepared to work on their instrument outside of their lesson, they might not be ready for the commitment to lessons.
When will I start to see results?
Results as a musician are like results from working out. Every time you work out, you’re getting stronger, but you might not see muscle definition for a while. Some elements can give instant gratification, but most of the skills we work on might not feel that different until there is a large change. This is because the progress we make as musicians happens a little bit at a time.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I was always inspired by my band directors! As a child, I loved band. I was truly a band kid at heart and put everything I had into it. All of my directors were very encouraging and helpful, and gave me lessons (as this wasn’t something available to me at my school). As I’ve gone through college, I have had several teachers that were very encouraging and have inspired me to be the same for my students.
