My teaching experience dates back to my high school days, as I began teaching private lessons. I have been consistently teaching piano students in my home studio for the last 5 years.

I incorporate music theory and history into each leason as well as composition. Read More

Some methods I would like to include in my teaching are introduction/development of IPA, which is International Phonetic Alphabet.

Using IPA, it can give you the correct pronunciation of words in other languages. I have found IPA extremely helpful in my experience as a vocalist. Read More

Every student learns differently, so by finding out what inspires my student, I am able to create individiualized lesson plans that cater to my student's needs without losing focus on the fundamentals of music. Music is such a blessing and should be fun! Ample time is given to students to discover their own music and inherent rhythms while studying the vast pedigree of music that has come before us. My lesson plans incorporate everything from reading writing music, jam sessions (often times with me!), and recording time. Read More

I talk to my students about their repertoire giving them context, a horizontal understanding of style and interpretation, and relating composer’s life stories. Read More
