Instruments: Piano Organ Synthesizer Keyboard

My love of music allowed me to gain a level of proficiency on my own without lessons.I also learned later on that I needed help on my fingering and chords. When I started taking lessons at the age of 16, my Organ teacher told me that she couldn't believe I had never had any lessons, because I was already better than half of her students.She took me to a professional level in just 4 years.

I like to see where the student is at level wise and take it from there. Example : if the student has never played before, we will start with how to hold the sticks. If there at level three but haven't touched 16th note triplets and go from there. If there trying to play Rush 2112 but are having trouble with certain parts - we will dissect it and concentrate on problem areas. Read More

For brass instrumental students, I generally use the Rubank Method books, focusing on care of the instrument and basic fundamentals. For piano students I use a variety of different method books and am not tied down to any one series. We will also work on scales and the Hannon series For vocal students, I use a series of vocalises, scales and other exercises to strengthen the voice. We will then work on repetroire focusing on what the student would sing at a recital performance. Read More

Every student is different.  The most important thing is for the student to get along with their instructor.  I am a patient and easy going person, but I also want discipline and excellence.

I started teaching the piano right after I got out of college. From that day, the number of students began to slowly grow.

Seeing the encouraged looks of my students always gives me joy to see that they are learning and even enjoying the music. Read More
