Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Viola Trumpet
I've taught piano and violin for many years and enjoy the rewards and the challenges of working with students and having them learn the skills to both enjoy and succeed in music. I have also spent a number of years as music director for several different schools and churches working with choirs and handbells. I have found that when students are motivated and inspired there is practically no limit to what they can accomplish, and helping to provide that inspiration is one of my greatest goals, and why I enjoy teaching.

Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Fiddle
For beginners, I typically start students off with the suzuki books to build technique, but I teach them from the classical perspective rather than the suzuki method. With intermediate and advanced students, i will introduce solo repertoire appropriate for recital performance and/or a commercial piece (fiddle tunes, pop songs, etc) that the student is interested in learning. Fiddle is my specialty, but I also teach classical violin and even my fiddle students will learn classical technique. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion
I began teaching in high school and continued throughout college. Due to my experience and coursework in piano pedagogy techniques, I have a significantly high student retention rate. A combination of study and hands-on learning has increased my awareness of a student's individual needs. I have led choral ensembles and coached private students for music competitions. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to my early years in jr- college, My professors even referred students to me for guitar lessons. After graduating from Auburn University with a BS in Music education , I taught private lessons in my home. Performing throughout the United States, England and Canada was a great experience for me until my daughter was borne. After that I started teaching Music at home and at several music stores.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
1. Warmup - Scales (5 min)
2. Practicing hard spots very slowly, hands separate, counting out loud, with a metronome (10 min)
3. Playing all assigned songs and recording them and listening back (10 min)
4. Music Theory Book Assignments (2 min)
5. Playing 1-2 of your favorite songs you've learned so far
This practice routine can be expanded or contracted. It's important to practice in a room with no distractions like tv, people talking, or other music being played. It's also important to practice everyday if you can. Your teacher can tell if you didn't practice very much, but you still need to go to your lesson regardless if you practiced or not. The better prepared you are the more you can learn and move forward.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My degree is in Music Performance because I wanted be able to be a performing artist and studio musician. I'm also a lifelong learner in Music Production, Composition, Business, Marketing. It doesn't stop just after you get your degree. In fact, you really start your "Real World Education" when you start making a living performing, studio work, teaching, managing money, setting goals, developing "People" skills. The thing I love about learning to play the piano is that you have to FOCUS on learning to play for "LONG Periods Of Time". I've spend over 50,000+ hours of practicing the piano, performing, rehearsing, composing, producing, recordings, planning. You have to devote yourself to a lifelong pursuit of playing and development. "TALENT" is developed over "LONG" periods of time without quitting.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream piece is playing music that I'm currently working on. How much do I practice that piece? I practice it until I can literally play it while sleeping or dreaming. When I can play a piece and drift off to sleep and start dreaming, and I can still play the piece on "Auto-Pilot", then I'm playing my "Dream Piece". When you mastered a song to the point that it is effortless, you are playing your "Dream Piece". I have practiced songs so much that I can drift off to dream, or have a conversation with someone, or read a newspaper article and my hands continue to play. That is when I know I've practiced a piece enough.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I weren't a musician, I'd probably be doing something else that I developed an interest and passion for. I think trying different things and activities is a good thing, and pursuing the ones you really really love because anything that you want to become good at requires a lot of time developing that before you start getting paid to do it. At one time in my life, I wanted to be an NBA Basketball player. I used to practice shooting basketball for hours, and then hours lifting weights, and hours doing drills. I loved it, unfortunately I stopped growing when I was in 6th grade, and all my other friends kept growing and getting taller, stronger, and faster.
