I seek to empower my students by providing a high-quality musical education through goal-oriented, individualized instruction. In order for me to shape my students into the musicians, I need to match my teaching style to his or her learning style. This means that I must be flexible and willing to learn from my students, just as they are learning from me. I believe that the desire in young people to succeed at music comes from a love of music.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Oboe Music

I'm a multi-instrumentalist who loves making music with other people. Making music is a fundamental human experience, and too many people feel that it is out of reach for them, or that the only way to participate in music-making is to play in a band or orchestra. I fully believe that there are many valid ways of learning and playing music, as well as calling yourself a musician. My journey has not been typical for a musician: after a lifetime of casual music-making, I decided at the age of 43 to go back to school for a degree in Music Education from The University of Arizona.

Instruments: Flute Clarinet Recorder Piccolo Music

I am extremely dedicated to my students. Understanding how exciting it is to play with accompaniment, I have played piano for multiple student recitals in order for them to learn collaborative skills as well. The piano is also a great way to teach harmony, music theory and improvisation because of its a visual and kinaesthetic elements. When a piano is not available, I make arrangements in my notation software, so that they can still gain the skills and experience, therefore having the music making process a more emotionally rewarding activity.

In addition to my performance experience, I was also on staff at Inside Music Academy, where I was able to solidify myself as a leader and teacher in the community. While I am somewhat new to private teaching, my cello studio is an extremely productive and supportive space, and I have already found it so rewarding to be able to share what I have learned throughout my years and see people experiencing music the way I have.
