Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Recorder
Just like homeschooling, students will learn individually at their own pace. Students must enjoy their lesson. Sometimes the students may find it discouraging but it is my mission to give them acknowledgment in their accomplishments and nurturing so they can continue to flourish and be the best musicians they can be.

Instruments: Piano Voice
Theory and Composition: Integrating music theory lessons alongside practical piano instruction enhances students' understanding of musical structure, harmony, and composition. I encourage students to compose their own music pieces as a way to apply theoretical knowledge creatively. Performance Skills: Similar to voice lessons, I prepare piano students for performances and recitals. This includes stage presence, interpretation, and effective communication of musical ideas. Utilization of Technology: I incorporate digital tools and software for learning and practicing piano, including interactive apps for sight-reading, theory drills, and virtual keyboard tutorials.

I started teaching when I was an undergrad in college. I've taught students of different ages with different personalities. I found it important for myself as a teacher to change my teaching styles according to each student. Using the vocabulary or description that the student understands and give them what they need/want is a better way for them to learn. There's no short cut to success. If you want to learn an instrument, regular practice and lessons are required. Read More

My teaching style is personalized, goal-oriented, but also fun focused. I take a personalized approach, focusing on understanding each student's unique vocal goals, strengths, and areas for improvement. By setting large, medium, and small SMART goals, I ensure that progress is tangible and attainable, helping students build confidence in their vocal abilities. I also believe in making the lessons feel fun and be gratifying in the process of hitting smaller goals and Student Learning Outcomes, as the student also works towards more long term goals.

Instruments: Piano
My students say I am their "most fun teacher," which is what I like to hear! Weekly music lessons shouldn't be a fearful experience; they should be something to enjoy and look forward to. The fact is learning to play the piano is not a 30-minutes-a-week or even a 1-hour-a-week experience. Learning to play the piano is a daily habit that must be cultivated. To that end,I keep my expectations for my students clear and attainable so that they know what to do in order to be successful. Read More

I usually see what level the student is on and we go from there. The age and interest of the students will also tell me which way to go in the lesson. Usually with beginner students the Hal Leonard book is a good place to start but I'm willing to start with any beginning book. If the students are just interested in one specific thing then we focus on that. Read More

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I weren't a musician I would be an artist. But I am a musician. Music has been and always will be my life. It would be neat to travel around and share my music in various places.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Favorite tyles of music, classical, praise, contemporary, jazz . My favorite style of music to play is contemporary christian music. I write and play it for God, like Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, They all played in the church. My style is different than classical.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a BA in Music Education. I had planned to be a band director as my dad and direct bands, but I became an Elem. music teacher after doing my student teaching. I am certified in all -level PK-12 music education. I also write songs. I have a love for Music Theory, and how chords are arranged in music. Performance I traveled and played in different venues such as concerts and churches in my younger 20-30 with my music ministry. I played live concerts, you can find these on youtube, and on my reels on fb too.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A practice session for me could last hours or minutes depending on what I am needing to go over. I love playing the instruments, so anything I work on is practiced over and over.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I like to use Faber and Faber for piano, because they write interesting songs and tend to use familiar tunes for beginners.
I found an awesome website. I use 8notes.com. Free music.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I've always had music in my life my father was a band rector my grandfather was a music man he started music and places that didn't have music. My grandmother was also a music teacher. I started music when I was in kindergarten playing the trumpet and then when I got older I started playing the piano. I went to college we became a music teacher and taught for 23 years in public education. In 199 1 92 I started writing songs and performing on the side in churches. I took lessons most of my young life but quit in my high school years. Yes I do regret because I could have really improved a lot my piano playing skills.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I play piano and trumpet. Trumpet was my major instrument. I fell in love with the piano in college. I picked up the guitar and am self taught to play chords. I write songs using the piano and guitar.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on the trumpet is playing high notes, triple C's and keeping your embouchure just right. Keeping the space needed to send the air through the mouthpiece.
The hardest thing to master on the piano is dexterity, speed in playing.
