Instruments: Voice

I began teaching in 2010 when a friend asked if she could take lessons from me. Since then, I've had quite a few students throughout my college years. I've had the opportunity to instruct students with a wide range of potential, but everyone has learned something. I adjust my instruction based on the skill level of the student. This is very important--in order to grow, one must be built from the ground up. Read More

Instruments: Piano Clarinet

I started teaching way back in 2001, my first year of college, at a music festival in Vermont.  It was a group clarinet & sax class, and it was so much fun!  I gradually realized as college went by and I began teaching more and more, that while enjoyed performing, teaching was my real passion!  I have been teaching both the clarinet and the piano full-time since 2007, and consider that my passion and my profession.

Instruments: Violin Fiddle

I’ve also been fortunate to study with and learn from many inspiring teachers and artists over the years, and I bring that experience into my own teaching. My goal is always to create a supportive, structured, and encouraging environment where students feel empowered to grow and explore music at their own pace. Whether you’re picking up the violin for the first time or preparing for an audition, I’m excited to help you on your musical journey! Read More

Instruments: Piano Trumpet

I've been teaching trumpet since I was a freshman in High School. My mother is a band director for Selma Middle School and frequently asks me to tutor students or conduct a group session. After High School, many private teaching opportunities opened up for me, including Hope Middle School, Red Wood Middle School, Clinton Middle School, as well as brass tech for Topsail High School and Clinton High School. I currently am under contract with Archer's Lodge High School as a marching band tech leading high brass and drill instruction as well as a few private lessons. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Banjo Ukulele Mandolin

 Drawing upon my education and experiences as both performer and teacher, I strive to relate my musical background to my students' learning experiences and progress. As each student comes with his or her individual musical wants and interests, student lessons are designed to meet these needs of a particular student. I have young students of ages 5 to 14 as well as students of upper ages. According to a student's level of musicianship (beginner, advanced or in between), students are taught how to read music, music theory in relation to their progress, chords, scales and how to write/compose their own songs.

I have a strong love of music. I received my Bachelor of Music from East Carolina University and my Master of Music from Anderson University. I have been playing the saxophone for twenty-four years. I have also been a public school general music/band director for five years. I have been teaching saxophone for about twelve years. I am a full-time school teacher and professional musician. I have performed at many weddings, churches, private parties, and music venues ranging from New York City to Texas. Read More
