Instruments: Piano Voice
I find it so rewarding to help others find joy through music, whether you are a true novice or an experienced singer or player. While I think it is important for all students to achieve our weekly goals and progress regularly, I also try to cultivate an extremely positive environment so that you will leave each lesson feeling encouraged to continue enjoying your music as you work to improve. I believe myself to be a thorough teacher, but will never try to make you feel as though you are being tested. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Viola
My teaching style is receptive and warm, but focused. I use goal-setting as a satisfying and organized way to break down musical lessons, which means lessons time is well spent and students have a good understanding of how and what to practice. Students remain engaged and satisfied with this approach, which provides proof of the progress that is taking place in lessons and in private practice time. Since music learning is highly cumulative, it's important to me that students have a thorough understanding of principles before moving on to new ones. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I have been playing piano since elementary school and discovered very early on how much I love it. I took up the violin later though the piano continues to be my first love. Long before graduating from high school, I knew I wanted to study music in college and make music a part of my daily life. I discovered the joy of collaborative playing in college and hve played with a number of different musicians since then. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
Throughout my 20+ years as a music instructor, I have found that a friendly, encouraging approach resonates well with students. I individualize each student's instruction to best serve the goal of positive results through creative music- making. I graduated in 1980 with a Piano Performance degree from Fort Lewis College, Durango, Co., with a minor in music education. My performance experience includes playing for weddings, churches, accompanying other musicians, and playing and singingin jazz and Celtic bands. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute Piccolo Keyboard
For Beginners, I focus on music theory and the most important steps of caring for your flute. Then we branch into tone, technique, and rhythm. For my intermediate students, we start by using Taffanel and Gaubert Grand Exercises for technique. I also require my students to have Trevor Wye books for tone and technique. These will be a staple in the practice room and throughout your studies with the flute. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion
I take a very individual approach to my teaching plans- each student has their own attention spans, goals, interests and abilities! When I was first learning piano, I was frustrated by the music choices my teacher was picking for me and this usually made me not in the mood to practice. Over the years I've collected, written and purchased various pieces and exercises for both piano and percussion that allow me to create custom lessons for my students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Bass Guitar
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I learned flute and some clarinet because they are useful doubles in the world of saxophone playing.
Bass is my true love because it allows the sound of the band to come together. Getting the privilege of playing the part that allows the band to sound as one is always inspiring.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I got my degree in Performance because it allows you to learn all of the above. You should know the history of your instrument and genre, the theory of what is being performed, and you should compose if you want to be a performer that speaks eloquently and honestly.,
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
When I have a clear head I work on tone, then scales (technique), time (scales to a metronome) and repertoire. I let myself get creative in repertoire by changing up styles, songs, tempos, etc. I practice each section as long as I can be effective (I don't believe in putting time limits on what I do). If I'm having a rough day, I'll just play whatever I want as it comes to me. It keeps me from getting discouraged and still allows me to play/ practice.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master is technique. Creating efficient technique that will allow you to perform what you hear or want to play is the biggest learning curve for any instrument.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I found my Dad's saxophone at my grandparents and kept trying to make sound out of it until my parents decided it was time for lessons so they didn't have to listen to me squeaking throughout the house. It stuck from there.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I'm most proud of the different bands I'm in currently. It has allowed me to adapt to all different kinds of genres and see how they connect.
It's important to listen to ALL kinds of music and gather your own opinions and interests. That's when good music starts to be made.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
The teacher that inspired me the most was the one that talked about music like it was apart of life. There was no difference between playing and breathing to him. It was just something that lived inside everyone and it was up to you to decide how it fits into your life.
When will I start to see results?
Results will show fairly frequently in the beginning because they are learning so many new ideas and techniques playing an instrument requires. As time goes on results will show by the amount of effort each student puts in. The more they think, listen, and play music, the quicker they will improve.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Any child that shows an interest in music or playing is ready.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing is not about sitting down for hours everyday. I suggest practicing once a day for as long as you can be effective. Whether that is 5 minutes or 2 hours, our brains will retain information better through consistency, not quantity.
