Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Music Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
There are SO MANY ways to start learning music, so I don't necessarily believe in forcing students to read sheet music of classic standards. I started out with chords and tabs in middle school and that has given me the ability to figure out most basic-intermediate songs by ear. I went on to learn to read sheet music in college and if reading music is something that interests the student, we will of course pursue that together. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I am a local PNW artist and educator with a passion for both classical and modern music. I believe that in order to call oneself a musician, you need to be able to appreciate all forms and sounds throughout musical history. My goal is to bring high caliber training to my area, but most importantly to foster a life long passion for music and the arts. Alongside repertoire, I also teach music theory from beginning to advanced. Read More

Often lesson styles are easy going to serve the interests of beginning students, and more demanding for advanced students. Libby writes out lesson plans for all her students according to what she and the student think is appropriate for the student's present acheivement. Libby presents sections on rhythm, tone, reeds-how to adjust them, how to make them etc--she finds music that she thinks the student will like after discussing it with the student. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Synthesizer Keyboard
My teaching experience has been drastically influenced by changes in my life both as a student and a performer. My early education was heavily influenced by traditional teaching methods in classical music. So when it came time to study my first introductory jazz course I was rocked to my core. I began not only to enjoy the music I played, but became more aware of the relationships between keys, chords, scales and notes. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet
I first started teaching while I was in high school. It all began when I taught at a music summer camp called Camp Winthers. My main responsibilities in regards to teaching were leading instrument sectionals, and giving advice one on one. This would continue summer after summer until I reached college. In the beginning of my time in higher education, most of my lessons taught were to my peers, focused mostly on music theory and ear training. Read More

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
One of the most difficult things to master on guitar is speed, and relaxation, of playing. As the speed increases, it can be easy to tense up, which slows you down. Contrary to what one might assume, the road to fast and relaxed playing is through relaxed and slow practice. It takes a long time and one must be consistent, which is also a challenging habit to build.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Some of the most fun I've had in my musical journey is performing in a Led Zeppelin and ZZ Top tribute bands. My band mates were so fun to be around and we all loved the level of energy we brought to the venues we played in Southern California.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I have had many students go on to utilize their education in many ways. I've had a few students pursue their own music degree at university. I've also had students attend university for other majors, and they were able to utilize the music theory they learned to get easy A's in their general ed categories. These student had an easier time keeping a higher GPA and had more time to focus on the work of their more difficult classes. I've also had students form garage bands with their friends in high school and beyond!
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
After playing classical piano, electric guitar, classical guitar, and violin, I finally found a style that suits my personality and passion in flamenco guitar. It was the "shoe that fit", so to speak. I love the exciting and unique sounds and techniques that are used, and I love introducing flamenco to people who have never heard the style before.
When will I start to see results?
Everyone learns at a different pace, but after a month students have generally become very comfortable with the basics and will be well on their way to mastering their first song.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My flamenco teacher is a big inspiration for me. His passion and love of the style is contagious, and his positive, excited, and encouraging attitude makes me feel very proud of my work. I love that he will play our material at full speed, and with his own style mixed in. Is like getting a short private concert every week!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Kids are sponges, and will be able to learn music very young. The younger they are, the more important it is to have a home environment filled with support, encouragement, and enthusiasm. If you're excited, they will be excited!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
A good warmup routine that targets technique is essential. Practicing technique prepares you for any situation, rather than working on every individual song that you know, an impossible task when you know so many songs!
