Instruments: Viola
My playing experience dates back over ten years while my teaching experience dates back four years. I have had the opportunity to travel to Europe and South America to perform with symphony orchestras. I spent my college days making extra spending cash playing in weddings and small events. I also began my teaching experience tutoring children in viola and violin at the nearby schools. Since college I have tutored over 50 students in viola and violin. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar
I am passionate about music and enjoy sharing that passion with others. In 2018, I graduated from the University of Dayton with a Bachelor of Arts in Music Therapy and minor in Psychology. I am currently a full time music therapist at University Hospitals Seidman Cancer Center, Main Campus. I love working as a music therapist, but I also enjoy teaching music lessons. I have been playing classical piano for about 15 years and acoustic guitar for about 5 years. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Flute
As an adult, I have taken pedagogy with the head of the pedagogy department at Olivet Nazarene University, Piano from Dr. Karen Ball, flute from Gary Schocker, and voice lessons from members of the Metropolitan Opera in New York City. Always looking to improve myself through individual study, I also get excited when I learn things from my students. Music is such an exciting field to be involved in and my teaching studio reflects that - I teach many different styles, curriculums, and provide many opportunities for sharing our music outside the studio.

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Banjo
I like to teach students a few easy chords to get them started. Hundreds of songs can be play with only 3 chords. I also like to teach students some 2-note chords also called power chords. Rock and roll and blues are often played with power chords. I find that students can begin playing some common rock and blues rhythms only after a few lessons. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Euphonium French Horn Tuba
I'm a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students to share my love of music. I am originally from Sitka, Alaska, and in 2013 I graduated from Saint Mary's College of California with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music. As an orchestral musician, I have performed throughout the United States and Europe in many renowned venues. I moved to the Indianapolis area in 2021 to teach music at Franklin College. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Drums Organ Synthesizer Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
Every student learns differently, so by finding out what inspires my student, I am able to create individiualized lesson plans that cater to my student's needs without losing focus on the fundamentals of music. Music is such a blessing and should be fun! Ample time is given to students to discover their own music and inherent rhythms while studying the vast pedigree of music that has come before us. My lesson plans incorporate everything from reading writing music, jam sessions (often times with me!), and recording time. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
When I was growing up mostly of what was on the radio was what would be classified as Pop Country and and Classic Rock. Pop Country never spoke to me because I had a difficult time liking the vocal twang. Classic Rock, however, always seemed to have these sweet riffs. Things that your ears would really gravitate toward and were memorable. It just seemed like it would so much fun to be able to do. On top of that the tone was so varied. You could listen to a song that had a somber and sweet guitar part, or one that was truly gritty and brutal. So the sound was extremely important for me.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I'm really proud to have had the opportunity to acquire the Classical Guitar Graduate Assistantship at Ball State University. I truly learned a lot about how to teach from that opportunity. Likewise, I'm proud of having spent some time in Chicago teaching for Merit School of Music and Sherwood Community Music School. With every new student I had the opportunity to teach I had a new opportunity to learn and improve my approach to each students needs and the way I explain topics. I'm truly grateful for every student I've taught.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I have not had any students that have been awarded special honors or awards. While I have had students that have the potential to achieve those things, I simply haven't been in one place long enough to see them reach that point. Learning an instrument takes time. Additionally, if your goal is only to improve for yourself or just learn a few songs you really enjoy then reaching that level isn't unnecessary. Only a handful of students I've had have wanted to achieve that level of playing. And for them I am certain they will reach that goal.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I think the hardest thing to master for most people is patience. Even with physical or cognitive hurdles, knowing that you need to patient and not rush the progress is crucial to improvement. If you can stop and recognize that you're just stumbling through a few measures and can work on just that then you're in a much better place than most people who are picking up an instrument. So many people get frustrated because they can't get something and think that playing it quickly will get them to where they want to go. Just remember that patience is key.
