Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My teaching experience began at the age of 16 when a few parents at the church I was involved in music ministry at became interested in getting guitar lessons for their children, so I began teaching guitar basics after Wednesday night service. Opportunities opened up for me to teach in other church contexts, homeschool groups, and even for a few of my friends at the time, which helped define my social skills in teaching. Read More

My teaching experience dates back even before my college days, as I began teaching at the West Lousiville Performance Academy over ten years ago, and have been teaching student since that time either in a choir or private lessons. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument.

Instruments: Bass Guitar

I am about as laid back as you can be. Learning this instrument should be fun, since that is the level of commitment that most of us have. We lead busy lives as students, moms, dads, and caregivers. There is always something on the plate. I will make this fun, keep you interested, and make progress all at the same time. I will be teaching my student the components of the bass guitar, the components of songs, how they are written, how each instrument plays it's part in the construction of the song. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

I teach in the bel canto style as I was taught, focusing on developing a greater capacity for breath control, relaxation of the tongue and jaw, good posture, and freedom of movement. However, I tailor every lesson to the student's needs and focus on addressing the vocal issues they face on a given day and in general. I develop a plan for the student each week, like learning a section of a piece or working on diction in a specific verse, but adapt this plan depending on how the student feels that day and what their input is.

Instruments: Voice

I strive to set realistic goals and encourage my students to set realistic goals for themselves! This gives them an eagerness to learn because it is within their grasp. For example, If someone has a goal to be on american idol one day, I will have him/ her set a smaller goal to get there such as breath support or intonation. When they achieve this they feel one step closer to their eventual goal. Read More
