Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
As a teacher my goal is not to simply teach a student how to play or sing a certain song. My goal is to teach my students how to use the discipline of music to help them to develop their character. To that end I emphasize learning music fundamentals well and being able to put them into practice playing or singing in public at every opportunity. I also believe that playing with other musicians helps students to solidify their skills so I encourage them to play in an ensemble at every opportunity. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trombone
When learning to play an instrument, I believe it is important to start at a slow pace to make sure students comprehend all of the musical elements. To all of my students, I will treat them with kindness and honesty. Honesty is important as a teacher because my goal is to help students find where they can grow and show them ways to do so. For all of my students, I expect them to practice each day and put all of their attention to refining their art. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola
I teach a predominantly Suzuki as I learned with the Suzuki method and I am trained as a Suzuki instructor. I don't completely immerse my students with the Suzuki method and while learning how to play by ear, I teach students how to read music so that they are able to compose their own music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Cello Music
I am a positive and encouraging instructor, and emphasize proper technique, music theory, and fundamentals through a variety of musical styles ranging from classical to popular music. My students are all ages (I once had a student start at the age of 70!) and come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences. I work with students to help them balance a practice schedule with the rest of their lives. I consider myself to be a coach and facilitator and work with my students to set realistic, achievable, but challenging goals. Read More
Instruments: Piano Cello Music Keyboard
I began teaching music in high school when I worked as an teacher's assistant during group piano classes. I started teaching private cello and piano lessons shortly thereafter and continued to do so through college. After graduation, teaching music truly became my passion. I've worked extensively with private students of all ages. I taught private lessons, group classes, and sectionals to students through several different school orchestra programs. I've maintained a private studio with students of all ages and skill levels. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Recorder
I use different methods depending of the students' age and ability. Singers should always learn to breathe correctly and vocalize depending on their range. I could also use the Vaccai method for opera aspiring singers. For basic piano guitar, chords and harmonizing for accompaniment. For the recorder to learn to read music and play what's written. I also can teach in Spanish and English. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Organ Music Keyboard
My flexible but thorough approach, complete with theory, practicum, step by step instruction, support, goal setting and milestones that will reflect both promise and progress. You will progress through core material with a variety of supplemental material to promote and develop depth, good habits, retention of material learned and enhance and guide your musical experience. This flexible approach uses technology, computer and games as appropriate that has aided those in the past with challenges such as ADHD, Autism and other learning disorders. Read More
Instruments: Piano
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Piano is a foundational instrument and coming from a family of musicians, all 10 of us siblings started on the piano. The piano let some to different instruments, but once you learn the piano, your ability to pick up and learn other instruments is exponentially easier. The notes, chords, time signatures and music theory translate to other instruments. At at a minimum if an individual can take a few years of piano and then move to another instrument, they will have a much easier time learning an additional instrument. If you start your child with piano right away, by the time they are in middle school and want to participate in band for example, they will be well equipped and have an advantage.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am proud I have spent a lifetime playing the piano for others, as well as, my own enjoyment! My family, my friends, my church, for so many weddings, funerals, choirs, etc.. I am so proud of the many students I have taught and that stuck with the instrument until they were able to play fluently and gained the lifetime enjoyment from the piano instrument. I had one student, Sarah, who started lessons with me in 3rd grade. She was very motivated and very bright! She worked hard at learning and advancing on the piano, as well as, in her knowledge of theory and her appreciation of music. We worked together until Sarah was a junior in high school. At that point, it was my pleasure to say Sarah needed the next level teacher:) What an accomplishment for her, as well as, myself. Along the way, Sarah participated in band, learned other instruments and kept with her piano for many years.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Any one of my students succeeded and deserved special honors every year that they stuck with the piano. However, it was my greatest pleasure when a student wanted to compete at, for example the MNTA piano competition. To learn a difficult piece, to master it, perform it in a competitive venue is a big hurdle and accomplishment for a student. I encourage and try to insensitize a student to try a competition at least once - certainly not required as not everyone is comfortable with this, however, like recitals, a competition can be a great teaching tool.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I use a combination of methods, Alfred, Leonard, etc. - I don't subscribe to one method, but find using a variety in combination usually works best. There is no substitute for learning and memorizing your notes, for learning and being able to play to the time signature, for learning music theory, etc.. I have found finding out what style of music the students likes and wants to play is often very motivating and from that point, bringing in all the required elements. You can learn the notes, time signatures and theory from playing any style of music and often playing what you like, whether it is show tunes or pop, keeps you sitting at the piano and playing.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Warm up first - warming up the hands, fingers, wrists is as often neglected as stretching before and after a workout!
