Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Organ
I've been in the field of music education, production and performance for over 20 years. I have spent half of my life helping others find their path in music. One of the most important lessons I have learned as a teacher is that...."people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care!!!!" I understands that building a relationship with a student is just as important as the information I teach. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
I recently finished my studies to receive my Bachelor of Music in Music Therapy degree from Sam Houston State University. At SHSU I gained experience working with a variety of clientele including those diagnosed with autism, dementia, traumatic brain injury (TBI), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and spina bifida. I also provided live percussion music with the Creative Movement Program with the dance department at Sam Houston State University. I hope that in the near future I can own my own private studio where I can host music lessons and music therapy sessions. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part time 8 years ago, and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio for the last 5 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 piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I studied piano at Texas Wesleyan University under Dr. Ilka Araujo, graduating in 2016. I've had the opportunity to play in various concert halls in the DFW area, including the Fort Worth Modern Art Museum, the Fort Worth Woman's Club, Nicholas Martin Hall, and Alkek Recital Hall. I also had the distinct privilege of being selected by mayor Betsy Price to serve as a musical delegate in the Sister Cities signing agreement between Fort Worth and Guiyang, China. Read More
Instruments: Piano Cello Music Keyboard
I believe in meeting students where they are and catering lessons to their specific learning styles. Not everyone learns everything in the exact same way. While I do teach using standard, classical repertoire more often than not, my goal as a teacher is to help my students develop a deep love and passion for music; hence, I often find it incredibly helpful to branch out into other genres! I've taught show tunes, pop, rock, and even video game music to my students. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I started studying piano in my early teens and have continued studying all of my life. Even to this day I still practice 30-45 minutes every morning. I have played professionally all of my life as an accompanist for vocal and instrumental soloists, and having taught high school choral music for over 20 years, accompanied a variety of vocal ensembles. I have performed for weddings, banquets, parties, and civic gatherings, and have been my church's pianist and chief musician for the past 15 years. Read More
Instruments: Piano
One of the things I love about teaching is watching my students grasp the musical concepts I teach, as well as see how they all relate. Each student progresses at their own pace, some faster, some slower than others. I tweak my teaching style to meet each student's unique abilities, so as to assist them in reaching their potential. Together with teaching my students the basic concepts of music, I also work with them on musical concepts and types of music that they are interested in. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet Bassoon
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
This is a cop-out answer, but mastering anything is difficult and requires effort. There is no one individual thing on any instrument that stands out as the hardest to accomplish. Many difficulties for bassoon can be traced to reed quality issues, or inconsistencies in fundamental techniques such as half-hole, or thumb key usage. I don't believe in singling out one "hardest" part of an instrument, because so much of it is based on case-by-case situations.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
For bassoonists, I use the Weissenborn Method for Bassoon. It's the most comprehensive etude book, and it covers everything a student will need to know from beginning well into college. This is also supplemented with my own methods.
For other instruments, beginners often bring their method books from band, which I heavily supplement with my own materials. As the students progress, saxophones will move into the Ferling studies, and Clarinets to the Rose studies.
If using a method book, I choose ones that present a cross section of music typical to be performed and techniques that can be advanced. The point of an etude book is to build a vocabulary for the student.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I have prepared countless students for state Solo and Ensemble competition, youth orchestras, and even college auditions. My private students generally score Superior or Excellent, as well as the ensembles that I coach. I have had students participate in the Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra, the Contemporary Youth Orchestra, the Akron Symphony Youth Orchestra, and many district honor bands hosted at different universities. The students I have helped with college auditions were accepted across the board, and are enjoying their musical careers at schools like Kent State University, Cleveland State University, and Miami University.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I've thankfully been put into many musical situations I can feel proud of, but a standout to me is winning the CCM Chamber Music Competition, Woodwinds Division with a close group of my friends. I began playing in the group filling in for a good friend who developed a hand injury, and we ended up clicking and gelling very well. Our preparation for the competition was very rigorous, and the music we played was extremely difficult, but the end result was putting on a spectacular performance. What was special about this performance compared to others was being able to accomplish it with the friends I had made, and feeling like we all put a distinct and individual touch on the piece. Even if we hadn't won, the music we played was at such a level that it felt like an achievement to get to the end!
