Instruments:
I am an experienced music educator. I like to teach the student what the student wants to learn. I keep lessons relevant while introducing new and standard material and focusing on a good foundation.
Instruments:
I am a pianist and mallet percussionist. I grew up playing piano and percussion and double majored in both instruments in college. I work primarily a pianist in town but will occasionally go on the road as a jazz vibraphonist with various groups. I've toured playing various genres with several bands in over four continents. I have also taught as an adjunct professor at two different universities. As a performer my greatest accomplishments have been performing with such jazz greats as Clark Terry, Herbie Hancock, and Kenny Garrett.
Instruments:
Music is fun, no matter how tedious the learning process may be. With practice and determination, a student will be able to progress and love their instrument even more. Each week we will determine realistic goals for the student. If progress is made, I may come up with something creative ways to reward my students for their work. As long as I inspire and touch the lives of my students, I will feel rewarded as well.
Instruments:
I am a traditional piano teacher. I strongly believe that building skills work: Sight-Reading, Ear Training, Understanding the structure(theory), and playing a variety of good repertoire works. When you teach these foundations - I learned to improvise, interprete, arrange, and create easier. The fundamentals do not mean you can't have fun - to me it explores and opens up the fun of singing or playing this marvelous instrument . So I believe in teaching a. THEORY - how is music put together. b. SCALES - From the scales and chords come the harmony, rhythm, and melodies. Than writing songs, improvising, and appreciating the different types of musical tastes occur. c. A GOOD REPERTOIRE - than you can expand to gospel, contemporary, jazz, country, or blue grass. d. EXERCISES - just like an athlete; your fingers need the work, the flexibility, and the control. e. CREATE - what styles of music are you interested, can you write a melody as a 7 year old, can you create chords for a melody line, could you transpose?
Instruments:
I began teaching private lessons in my second year of college, and have maintained a studio ever since! What I enjoy most about my teaching is seeing a passion for the saxophone and music arise and blossom. I use multiple activities in each lesson to keep my instruction fresh, fun, and engaging. I happily facilitate performing opportunities for eager students, including school festivals, church services and activities, nursing homes, and other public venues. All of my students develop a unique and beautiful sound on their instrument, while also developing facility to play difficult passages. This all happens alongside the student cultivating a meaningful interpretation of the music they are studying.
