Instruments: Piano Keyboard
For beginning students, I start with the basics which includes proper posture and hand placement, identifying notes and keys on the keyboard and the theory behind identifying major and minor scales as well as triads. We will also begin with the basics to reading sheet music and move into chord charts once an understanding of triads has been established. Once a solid foundation has been created, we will dive into learning some contemporary music and use favorite songs for analysis. Read More

I like to be 100% transparent at all times; I do not have as much teaching experience as other instructors might have. However, I've taught an array of different styles in my time teaching. In the past, many of my students have been experienced players in local bands reaching out because they liked my playing style and wanted a few pointers. Others have been people just wanting to get a better understanding of musical theory and musical site reading & writing. Read More
Instruments: Piano
As a teacher my goal is to push the students toward their best potential, guide them along the way, and make sure they have a full grasp of note reading, rhythm, expression, technique, and dynamics. And since I only see them once a week, the real work takes place at home with the parents, so for the younger players I teach them but also teach their parents how to push and motivate them at home.

I graduated from Belmont University in 2019 with a bachelor of fine arts in violin performance. I have been honored to play at many venues around the world including venues in the Czech Republic, Florida, New York City, Nashville, Los Angeles, St. Louis, and Denver. I have taught Violin for eight years and it is one of the most rewarding aspects of my violin world. When Im not playing violin I enjoy playing golf, reading, hiking, and being at my familys lake cabin in northern Wisconsin. 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.
