Instruments: Piano Flute Piccolo Music
For me, nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students grow and develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. When getting to know a student, I try to find out what inspires them and what their hobbies are. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Music Keyboard
My teaching experience starts back to my beginning years of college days. I start began teaching as private lesson instructor at my previous college community music school. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I am a University of North Texas graduate. I studied with Jim Riggs and Dr. Eric Nestler and played in the top lab bands and classical ensembles while attending school. I later moved to NYC where I started my professional playing career. I lived there for 14 years playing with several music ensembles and studied with Bill Blount on clarinet and Lorrie Glaze on piano. I played on Broadway musicals like Avenue Q and Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Music
I have studied vocal performance for about 15 years now, and I've got experience teaching all styles, from classical and musical theater to rock, pop, jazz, country, and various folk styles. I have had years of dedicated study to performance techniques, general musicianship skills, and the mechanics of the the singing process. I have over 75 Five-Star reviews across various online platforms that speak to my effectiveness, and many of them note my attention to detail and warm, welcoming environment. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Drums
After gaining a full schedule of students, I decided to initiate semester recitals to allow students the opportunity to perform in front of an audience. It is one of my favorite memories as an instructor! The pride on a student's face after they've demonstrated something at which they've worked so hard is the ultimate reward of teaching. After completing my teaching degree at Texas State University and accepting a full-time position, I devoted myself to my new career and no longer taught music lessons. Read More

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Well yes, it was my first band director. Granted that I had already chosen to be in band as an elective in middle school, I had never really played an instrument before and my musical knowledge was practically nonexistent. But his approach towards teaching was simple enough for me to make the connection between learning how to properly hold my instrument and obtain a decent tone from it all while learning to read music.
But my first band teacher also provided time during lunch and after school in which to practice, and whenever available, he would help with my intonation, articulation, breathing skills, and even dynamics (volume) and this encouraged me to keep practicing which only results in an upward-spiral of skill building! towards continued musical progress!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
I have students as young as 3 and some of my students have special needs. However, you certainly know your child better than I do: What is their temperament like? I have but one rule: You have to WANT this...if this musical interest is not made a desired priority ahead of perhaps other extra-curricular activities, then the student will not put outside practice into this and it will become a downward-spiral. Vice-versa, with my positive energy and enthusiasm, I can keep any willing student engaged for a 30-minute, 45-minute, or even 1 to 1.5 hour session.
When will I start to see results?
I focus on making goals--set an objective for each day!
Instead of time being the measure of effort, set a goal for both skills and performance!
For example, one needs to practice exercises just to maintain current skills...so include this in your regular practice repertoire and focus on HOW to play them properly.
But focus on a song...break the piece down into sections (if it is a whole page or longer in length) and focus on individual measures at a time. With each attempt, determine what errors are occurring and WHY--then, by process of deduction, you will rule out mistakes and improve your odds of accuracy until you are so familiar with WHAT to do that you can play this properly 10 times out of 10!
Thus, every practice session should yield results...each session is one small building block towards successful performance of a song and mastery of your instrument!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Find a place where you can focus and pick a routine time in order to develop the habit of regular practice.
Instead of practicing for a designated amount of time, make a goal (e.g., Today I am going to work on this song, and I will finish when I can play it correctly 10 times out of 10 attempts!) If the song is multiple pages in length, then focus on just one section of it per day and break it down into measures.
Various exercises such as scales and other rudiments need to be practiced in order to maintain skills.
But always make time (even if it's just 5 minutes) for playing just for fun! I strongly encourage this!
