Instruments: Violin Synthesizer Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

For beginning students I may introduce some Suzuki Method, but I mainly like to focus on technique making sure everything with the hands and posture is correct which will make it easier to learn more advanced techniques. For more advanced students I will show them how to use etudes to their advantage and some good practice techniques along with how to learn a piece from start to finish. If I feel like you have surpassed my level of expertise I will definitely let you know. Read More

For me the most important thing in lessons is to get students to play. After all, that's why they're here! From your very first lesson, I will have you playing simple parts in duet with me, so you get to make music from day one! I combine these simple exercises with learning notes and technique, so you'll always have a variety of skills to work on. For all students, I focus on helping them to hear their own mistakes, figure out what is wrong, and know how to fix it. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to my high school days, as I began teaching private lessons part time 9 years ago. 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. I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More

I take my student's goals as my own. I'm also a certified life coach, so I'm passionate about everything I do. Read More

I firmly believe that daily practice is essential, incorporating exercises in fundamentals, repertoire practice, and sight reading. Each lesson will cover these components, along with ear training and music theory, to provide a comprehensive and well-rounded musical education. Read More

I have been teaching since high school. Being a part of a rigorous music program at Timber Creek High School offered me opportunities to learn with successful percussionist, like Brett Kuhn. I performed at my first drum clinic in 2008 alongside the Timber Creek Regiment Drumline. After the clinic, many students looked at me in awe, asking my background. I felt so proud to be seen as a professional at such a young age. Read More
