Music Lessons in Mount Lemmon, AZ

Instruments: Cello

I am a passionate and fun loving instructor who adores bonding with students over a shared love of the cello. I have spent the past decade performing solo and in ensembles, and studying under the tutelage of many great professors. I am currently studying under Dr. Theodore Buccholz at the University of Arizona, where I am pursuing degrees in cello and neuroscience. The intersection between cello and neuroscience fascinates me, and I love to use my knowledge of the brain to make practicing as effective and effortless as possible for my students. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Oboe Music

I love making music and helping students to be confident making music. I know that life can get busy and students won't always be able to practice every day, so I set realistic goals for them and emphasize that even just a little bit of (focused) practice is much better than no practice at all. The most important thing is that students feel like they are making progress and are enjoying the process, rather than checking off a box of drudgery every day just to check it off. Read More

Instruments: Piano

I love teaching piano to young ones and watch their convidence grow. I remember when at the age of 8, learning piano that my enthusiaism was overflowing, My instructor was strictly classical and I discovered Boogie. I was so dissappointed not to broaden my horizons and we parted ways. Music appreciation in public school gave me a wide range of influence to choose from. Sharing with other musicians also gave me experience to grow. Read More

I also encourage parent and family involvement with lessons so a student feels the support and environment necessary for long term interest. I teach each student with individual attention and realistic goal setting fit for the student and parents interests. Read More

Instruments: Clarinet Music

So many methods that I may tend to use. But generally having scale pages, etudes, maybe a ensemble/solo piece may help as well. I feel it is essential to develop skills before playing solo pieces, though slowly working through them is also tolerable. Consistent practice is key, 15 minutes to an hour each day is y general advice. It can be very efficient or it can be maybe only focusing on 3 bars. Read More
