Music Lessons in Tampa Heights, FL

Instruments: Piano

I love music!  I love sharing music!  The best way I can share my love of music is to teach others, so that they may love music as much as I do.  I have played the piano for many years, since I was a child.  I recently graduated from The University of Tampa with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music, and from there I continued my education to become certified as a Florida Educator in Music.

Instruments: Piano Voice

I've had quite extensive experiences in teaching. Teaching and tutoring began during my high school days. I would help out after classes or teach piano on the side. Coming up will be my 6th year in teaching piano. I've also tutored my peers all throughout college in music theory, musicianship, and ear/aural training. I've interned at an elementary school for a semester teaching general music. I was even able to get the opportunity to go to Japan for three months and teach English and translate for the United States Navy. Read More

Instruments: Voice

Teaching voice is a huge passion of mine. I have enjoyed passing along the training and experience I have gained in the field to all of my gifted students. My training and education, rooted in the classical technique, allows me a deep understanding and knowledge of the voice as an instrument and how it can be manipulated to increase vocal range and stamina, enhance vocal quality, and improve unique vocal strengths and skills.

I find that my teaching style is focused on harboring curiosity of music for the beginner student. It brings me joy to see a student go above and beyond because they research more to what I offer them on the page to help enrich their playing. I ask students what they most would like to work on or accomplish and help them set realistic goals with skill building exercises to practice. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet French Horn Music

My methods 100% depend on where the student is and where he/she/they want to go. I have the most experience teaching young students (about 7 years old) who have had no experience or instruction in music. In such a case, I start with the fundamentals of music (how to read music), theory, and keyboard skills. Compositional exercises and etude drills (i.e. Hannon) help to reinforce the new ideas and build basic skills. Read More

Music and teaching it to others has been my life's work and passion. I am classically trained (obviously) and I am the first and still only person in my family to graduate from a four year college and later graduate school, having earned BM and MM degrees in Piano Performance with a minor in organ at Shenandoah University. In addition to 27 years of music ministry, 26 years as an accompanist and/or MD (classical and music theatre settings) and of course 16 years of private piano teaching, my greatest professional accomplishment is having played at Carnegie Hall in June 2014.
