Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I became a teacher because I believe everyone holds unique gifts and creative ideas. I want to encourage and guide every individual I teach to feel confident in their gifts and apply them to music! I believe music is such a joy to be shared to the world, and we all have the potential to share it. I started teaching private lessons in 2017, and I found it so rewarding that I have continued teaching ever since. Read More

I just recently moved back to Colorado from NYC. Up until the day before I moved, I was working as a private music teacher for over 50 different students weekly, in-studio and in-home lessons, ages varying from as young as 2 to adult. Since I've returned, many of those students have continued with me as their teacher via Zoom/Facetime. The pandemic challenged my regular in-home lesson routine, so all of my instruction takes place over FaceTime/Zoom now. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing a student develop a passion for music; a student who practices and looks forward to coming to music lessons is a joy to teach. Each student must progress at his or her own pace; therefore realistic goals must be set at each lesson. Rewarding students for reaching practice goals makes students eager to learn more, and seeing how far they have progressed makes student's proud of their accomplishments. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
My primary goal is to individually assess and direct students toward their most meaningful goals, whether that is professional level performance and composition, prepping for auditions, or just enjoying beginning on the instrument. I often have students work through my Commercial Piano Workbooks, or use jazz worksheets that I have created. My workbooks come with access to free video tutorials and dozens of play-along tracks, which makes for fun, challenging, and highly effective learning. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
Voice: In voice lessons we do not use books which allows me to fully customize lessons to the individual students needs and wants. I teach different methods of breathing, including low costal breathing and we focus on posture, sound placement, among many other fun skills. Speaking: Speaking lessons are also highly customized, as speakers could be anyone from film or stage actors, to voice over artists, to public speakers and beyond. Read More

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I have many teachers that can take credit for this, beginning with both my parents. My mother was my children'c choir director at church. Prior to that, I can remember her helping me match pitch as I would sing. My father was my junior high (middle school) band director. Needless to say, I grew up in a very musical home. I had two different piano teachers growing up. Both of them were highly educated and respected musicians and educators. My high school band directors were both excellent and inspired me greatly. In college, I had two different private studio teachers who taught me much about private instruction with techniques I use to this day.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I played trombone and piano all through my schooling and still do play both. I have found piano to be my go-to instrument when I just want to sit down and make music. I can cover all the parts as a solo artist and make music that will appeal to the room, orchestrating as I go. The piano allows you to fill out the bog sounds and emote the tender moments like no other instrument. While I feel I am pretty good at the instrument, I always feel inspired to improve in my technique and expression on the piano.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Seeing so many who I have instructed along the way continue their love and passion for music and piano is always heartening. I have composed and recorded over pieces of music on the piano, currently on 5 cd's, with a sixth cd on it's way. Playing and performing live for people who come to hear you play and seeing them buy your music and comment on it later is always heartening. Hearing people's emotional responses to music I have composed is a truly beautiful thing. I really take it to heart. Music is all about the moment.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
My first year of private teaching, I taught for a private studio in Greeley, CO. We would do lessons at students' homes, then have a "keyboard band" practice at the studio once per week. During the keyboard band time, students would play some musical pieces together and it was a unique concept. Several studios of this type were set up throughout northern Colorado, so we had an adjudicated contest pitting the studio schools against each other. Our studio school won that year.
In addition, my school choirs have won numerous awards.
I did have a middle school piano student whom I recommended to the Aspen Summer Piano Institute and was accepted. Earlier in the year, he earned a Superior rating at State Contest.
