Instruments: Piano Voice
Everyone can play or sing. I will be there to guide every student at their own pace. I always tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students 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. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Lute Music
My teaching tools are slightly different than most people. Sure, I use Textbooks and pencils but along with these materials, I use a special way trying to understand what is in my students mind and how to make the lesson interesting and easy for them to understand. I want my students to learn basic skills. That is, I want them to learn the basic skills necessary to transform their world. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Trumpet Trombone Bass Guitar Recorder Euphonium French Horn Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
I am a teacher who looks to make music both fun and rewarding. As well as teaching the student how to make beautiful music, I also try and tie in our lessons as a way to becoming a better citizen. The habits that we form as a musicians will help us as individuals. Things like setting and working towards goals, tracking and monitoring progress, and educating ourselves beyond the lesson room are all things that will serve my students as individuals, no matter what discipline or situation that they will find themselves in down the road.

Instruments: Piano Trombone Euphonium Music
My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part time 10 years ago, and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio for the last 10 years. 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 trombone, piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More
Instruments: Piano Synthesizer Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Keyboard
I have been teaching privately for over 12 years now and absolutely adore my students. They teach me just as much as I teach them. One of my true joys in life is giving back the knowledge that was imbued on me from an early age. I like making the music fun, encouraging students to "play" rather than "practice." Integrating music they love into lessons is also a great tool, in my experience. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Flute Piccolo
I have taught multiple beginning flute and voice students throughout my college career, as well as assisting the music students at Rolling Hills Elementary School in Mukwonago with their head start program. I wish to continue on into graduate school for Music Therapy, and for this reason, I also have experience working with both adolescence and adults that have developmental disabilities. I believe that music can be enjoyed by people of all different ages and experience levels, and I hope to work with students like these that are eager to learn. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
My teaching experience started with helping my friends in high school learn piano in the high school piano class. I already had experience and was assigned the role of tutoring my friends. After starting college, I took on a couple of private lessons with beginning students. I graduated from college and started teaching general music at the elementary school level. During my teaching, Ive gained skills of working with children of all ages. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Voice Ukulele Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
My voice was my first musical instrument technically although I didn't actually start studying voice until my adult years. I began playing guitar because I had access to a guitar which initially belonged to my brother. When he switched to bass I began trying to teach myself guitar. Luckily, I loved punk rock music which I was able to play. After years of playing guitar I attended a party on the beach. I brought my guitar to jam. There were several ukulele players at the party. After trading to a ukulele I found that it was a fun and easy instrument to play. I got hooked on the ukulele and often bring a ukulele with me when I go to the beach.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Although my parents were not professional musicians both of them loved music. Both my parents were born in New Orleans and understood the value of music. My Mother played piano, but she didn't have a lot of time to play because she worked full time and had four children. However, when she did play we were always surprised by her ability. Although she was not a professional singer people always asked her to sing. She had a great voice and was never shy about singing. My father exposed us to a huge variety of music from his extensive record collection. Everything from Neville Brothers to Earth Wind and Fire.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I don't remember one particular moment when I decided I wanted to become a musician. However, I do remember having a conversation with my high school guidance counselor about my interest in the psychology of music. At that time I did not consider myself a musician but more of a music enthusiast. During my high school years I was not considered a great singer. I didn't learn to play guitar until after i graduated from high school. I just love music and over the years i have gained the knowledge and skills to be a professional musician.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
i grew up listening to a variety of musical genres such as jazz, rock, soul, funk, blues, R&B, reggae and Afro-Cuban music. I can honestly say that I do not have a favorite style to play because it changes with my mood. I really enjoy playing blues but there are other times when I feel strongly about playing reggae. I really enjoy playing classic jazz tunes by Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong. There are other times when I enjoy rocking out playing songs by Jimmy Hendrix or the Beatles.
I currently play in a jazz act, classic rock band, and an acoustic rock/reggae duo.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If a hadn't become a musician and music therapist I probably would have pursued a career as a mental health practitioner such as a psychotherapist, grief counselor or rehab counselor. Initially I majored in psychology when I first pursued higher education. However as I studied psychology I became more aware of how music could be used in therapy to help individuals gain insight into self. I began to read about music therapy and realized the power of music. If I had become a psychotherapist or grief counselor I would have used music as a therapeutic tool.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Although difficult to narrow down to one piece, at this time one song pops into mind.
"Feeling Good" by Nina Simone. When I sing this song I feel like I am the strongest, most powerful woman in the world. I am empowered by the reality that I can make a positive impact on the world by using my voice and guitar. I am reminded of the spiritual beauty of nature and being part of nature. I am a song writer and feel strongly about performing my original songs. However when I sing "Feeling Good" I express myself so thoroughly that I feel like I wrote the song myself.
