I earned a bachelors degree in music composition and studied classical guitar in college. I taught private lessons off and on for several years before beginning teaching at a Music Studio in Columbus, Ohio. While there, I taught many guitar and ukulele lessons, and even started a ukulele club. While I was working at the studio teaching lessons at night, I was working on a masters degree in education. Today, I teach Science at a local high school, but missed the setting of one-on-one music lessons, so here we are! Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

I have been teaching private lessons for 15 years and have loved every minute of it! I began just teaching piano instruction when I first started out, but as I went through college, I added voice to my instructional practices. I really encourage my students to take my 20 minute challenge: 20 minutes a day for 5 days. That equals 100 minutes a practice a week and will cause you as the student to see AMAZING results in your skill and proficiency. Read More

My teaching experience began while attending college and has been on and off with my performing schedule but I believe the performance has help me focused on teaching from real-world experience.

I approach teaching from the students perspective, whenever possible and try to always emphasize the musical style they are most interested in. Read More

I enjoy the challenge of working with each student's unique musical and physical strengths and weaknesses in instrumental performance, and working to develop the most complete musician possible.
