Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet
Especially for young people, maintaining interest and ensuring that they continue to see the value of their musical education is essential. I remember a very frank conversation with my mother when at 13 I wanted to give up music to play football, and I blame that on the style of teaching I was receiving. Whilst there is stuff not to like about instrumental learning - for some it's scales, for me it was sight reading - the satisfaction comes from masterng these challenges, and if we can keep these short and long term goals relevant to the student, getting the practice hours done may be a litte easier on everyone!

Instruments: Piano Flute Piccolo
I am a very enthusiastic and motivated instructor who loves working with students of all ages to share my love of music. I started flute and piano as a little girl and participated in many flute competitions and performances. I was accepted to Brigham Young University's music program for flute performance and received my minor in music. Performing and competing has been very rewarding to me and I want to share that with others. Read More
Instruments: Piano Ukulele Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
I have 5 years of varied teaching experience, as a private instructor, working in several K-12 school environments, and I also hold teaching experience at the undergraduate college level. I enjoy working with students of all ages, and I bring an enthusiasm that centers fun for my young students, while also grounding my lessons in music theory that's tailored to the age and skill of my student. I like to encourage improvisation and spontaneity, but also provide a structure of lesson assignments and exercises. Read More
Instruments: Piano Oboe
One of the most enjoyable things about teaching is to learn from my students and learn to harmoniously interact with different personalities. My teaching experience dates back to my high school junior year in California, as I began teaching private piano and oboe lessons at students' homes, and have been consistently teaching one-on-one lessons until currently. I started with teaching children and younger teenagers, and then began to teach adults during my undergraduate years. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Ukulele Music Keyboard
Each comes with their own set of creative challenges and goals, and helping them move to a place of satisfaction and joy in music has been the most meaningful kind of work. When I began to learn music as a child, I had no idea how much joy it would bring me, and the musical community I would gain, or the anchor this pursuit would be for me through the difficult seasons that would arise in my life.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Music Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I start my beginning students with Alfred guitar method. If someone wants classical lessons I start them with the Fredrick Noad books and some Sor and Segovia studies. For people interested in improvisation we begin with Blues and then take it where you want to go. Advanced students I give more master class type lessons where we discuss more advanced music ideas.

Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Classical is what I was taught and is the most pleasant to listen to casually from a pianist in my opinion. However I like all genres of music!
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I am a beginner at the guitar and recorder. My dad plays the guitar so that was initially the instrument I wanted to learn.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Maybe a track runner or a businesswoman. I was very interested in long distance track running and nearly majored in business in university. However I did not go through with either of those routes.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes it does! My cousin is a music prodigy who writes sheet music from auditory listening, he also writes his own music. I have 3 siblings who also play music. Two play piano and guitar, one plays the drums, and one also plays the violin and trumpet. There are usually jam sessions happening at my parent’s house!
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
It was a gradual decision for myself. I had surpassed my teachers and knew I wanted to continue learning and performing. I continued to study and perform for auditions and moved onto events from there, eventually becoming the pianist for my local church.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I was taught with Faber, Suzuki, and Alfred. I like Suzuki for the music but am not much of an auditory learner myself - however I do recommend all students listen to the songs they are learning so they understand how it's supposed to sound when they play. I usually stick to one of the three methods above since that is what I'm familiar with, however if a student has a particular method they are learning I am willing to work with them to continue that path if it seems good for them.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session starts out with me doing some scales and fingering exercises to get my fingers warmed up. Then I practice the key for the piece I'm learning. After that I start with the section of music I'm dedicated to memorizing at that time. I usually try to play a whole section at a time, or whenever the music naturally takes a break, until I can get both hands down comfortably and start to memorize the piece. Then I move onto the next section until I've completed the song. This can take weeks or months depending on the length of the piece I am learning and the time I dedicate to learning it.
