Music Lessons in South Jordan, UT

Instruments: Voice

I started teaching privately in 2010 as part of a class assignment, and discovered I really enjoy doing it. I also love teaching and conducting choirs and have done that in various capacities for the past several years. I really believe that singing in choir is the best vocal training for young students. Choral singing and solo singing do not have to be opposite worlds! Both can be done healthily, and I like helping students discover this, or even just discover a new hobby. Read More

I believe the foundation of successful learning is based on a trusting relationship between student and teacher. I strive to get to know my students more each week and take an interest in their lives outside of the music world - I want my students to succeed in every facet of their lives! Furthermore, I want my students to feel confident with their playing. Oftentimes, I will ask open-ended questions to understand how my students feel they are doing. Read More

One thing I really enjoy about teaching is seeing my students find their love for music. This is why it is important for each student to feel accomplished at each lesson. This can be done by helping the student make and meet realistic goals that helps them see their progress and feel like they are continually moving forward. I always make a point to acknowledge and explain what specific things the students do right. Read More

Instruments: Trumpet Euphonium French Horn

I ultimately hope after being exposed to a wide variety of methods and ideas, students will begin to create their own exercises to solve their own musical and technical challenges. I like to assign listenings of various musicians and gage what musical interests a student has. For example, if I notice a student has a particular affinity for cornet solos, I will begin to assign solos in that vein. Alternatively, if I notice a student struggling with an articulation necessary for French solo repertoire, I may encourage a student to listen and learn solos in that style. Read More
