Music Lessons in The Colony, TX

Instruments: Piano

My earliest teaching experience was in my senior year of high school. While in college, I was required to do some student teaching, and this gave me a tremendous amount of insight into how best to approach being a music instructor. Since graduating, most of my musical experience has come from playing and directing choirs at churches, schools, and theatres, but I have continued teaching and enjoy learning different methods to share with my students.
