Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Ukulele Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
My musical philosophy is heavily rooted in the Suzuki method of teaching music. I believe that a student can't simply pick up an instrument once a week and become proficient with it, but rather, they must practice a minimum of 30 minutes daily, and enjoy what they are doing! Music can lead to better grades in school, higher memory retention, and an improved sense of discipline and responsibility, but I believe that that all stems in the fun factor that music provides.

Instruments: Piano
After starting piano performance at age 12 and music composition at age 14, I shortly graduated from Vanderbilt University in 2012 with a Music Composition/Theory degree and have composed nearly 4 hours of Symphonies, Concertos, Soundtracks, Jazz Combos, Woodwind Ensembles, Choral works, World musics, and other forms of Postmodernism. Since Post-Graduation, I've been taking composition lessons with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra composer William Hill, and is composing his Third Symphony. Read More

Before earning my degree, I was a home educator for 5 years. In 2017, I was approached by Apple Valley Piano and Guitar (MN) to join their team of private instructors for their sub-group, A Plus Music Studios. During that time, I had the very great privilege to teach students of all ages ranging from 6 years to active seniors. In addition to guitar, I teach beginning piano. I also enjoy coordinating jam sessions for the students. Read More

Since I have had many different teachers in many different areas of my musical life, my philosophy is to be flexible and open as an instructor. I have learned many different methods and techniques, and depending on the type of lesson I'm teaching, I use whatever methods are relevant. Whether I'm teaching rock music, orchestral music, or even marching band techniques, my goal is to give students the skills and tools they need to have fun and be successful. Read More
Instruments: Piano
My lessons are usually 30 minutes long for beginners. On top of learning from a piano series, I like to incorporate songs and styles that the student is insterested in learning. Theory and technique are also very important aspects of the lesson. Most importantly, I want the student to find their lesson time enjoyable, and make them excited to learn more. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
Having fun is the most important thing in my studio! This is achieved through setting and attaining specific goals and keeping a student engaged with the decision making process of what they want to play. It takes a couple of lessons for me to get to know how the student learns but once I do, I will adapt my teaching style to how a student learns best while still encouraging them to learn in different and new ways.

Instruments: Piano
I was offered my first piano teaching job 15 years ago, and have continued to teach ever since. I've taught children as young as 4 years old and first-time adults as old as 60. The most rewarding experiences I've had as a teacher include watching shy, young students consistently evolve into mature young adults who leap at the chance to perform in recitals or take on new challenges in their musical careers. I always encourage a sound sense of self-discipline when I teach lessons. Read More

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My Dad used to walk around strumming on a baritone ukulele and singing out his country songs, and always had guitars laying around the house.
My grandpa had an amazing woodgrain F-hole acoustic guitar in the basement that I was fascinated with, and he eventually gave it to me.
I still have it and played it at his memorial service????
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I decided to become a professional instructor when I started teaching my own children. When I saw the fruit of their efforts and the joy they found in their abilities, coupled with the rewards I receive in teaching - I was sold. I love it.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love many genres of music: Folk, Country, Blues, Spirituals, Rock, Metal.
My favorite style of music depends on my current mood, music is always a creative expression of the thoughts and feelings inside of the player.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
For myself, my routine disciplines of repeating and polishing the more challenging and new material I am learning, as well as staying brushed up on my regular knowledge.
In my student lessons, occasionally a brief social catch-up of the week, then hearing the students perform their assigned lesson work, jumping in for assisting and correcting, tagging on to lesson topics to enhance the subject, tying into related new topics of instruction.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My high school band teacher, Mr. Lester, greatly inspired me... because he was knowledgeable, encouraging, engaging, and a great listener.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Keep your eyes on the prize, practice with the intent of achieving your desired goal. In difficult sections of your practice, break it up into smaller pieces and practice each section repeatedly until comfortable, then move on to the next.
When will I start to see results?
If the lessons are appropriately designed, an hour's worth of devoted practice should show growing familiarity with the lesson.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I create my own lesson modules, and offer the Hal Leonard books as an option for the guitar students desiring to learn the five line staff. For clarinet and bass students I have several Kindle books I work from.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My original compositions and recordings, and being asked to perform at friends weddings and memorial services for the relatives.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose my primary instrument for two reasons – high regard for my favorite musicians, and the ability to let my creative voice out in musical expression.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Do they walk around playing air guitar while listening to a song?
Do they gaze intently at musicians in a live band?
Do you hear them humming or singing their own musical creations?
