Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
By giving piano lessons, all kinds of music knowledges should be taught. I prefer focus on both performance skills and the art/music knowledge in general. Homework is always needed because being able to play piano is the goal of the students.I will have my students practice etude, sonata/sonatina,polyphony pieces and modern pieces at the same time. Homework will be pieces selected from these 4 types. On top of that, I let my students know more about the background of the piece, study the composer, study the history and stories. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Ukulele Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
My teaching experience began at a young age. I started volunteering lessons for the youth in my church. I played keyboard on the worship team for several years and some youth students showed interest so I would teach them every now and then. In 2017, I started teaching private lessons at a studio in Fort Worth. I really started to enjoy it, and as I kept on teaching for years to come (going on 6 years now), I've just fallen in love with it! Read More
Instruments: Piano
I have three areas of emphasis in my teaching: provide the student with a balanced repertoire, demand correct technique, and require a solid foundation in music theory. I will provide my students with opportunities to participate in recitals, festivals, contests, and state theory exams. Students are given clear and precise instruction at each weekly lesson as to what they should accomplish in their practice sessions during the week for the succeeding week. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar
I truly believe that if students are happy and enjoying what they play they will want to practice and sound better. I encourage students to try classical but we will dive into a more modern approach. Original compositions can also be a fun great way for students to want to practice. I also have a strong music theory and technology background to really make sure they are amazed by understanding the world of music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trombone
For beginner piano students, I start from teaching out of the Piano Adventure Series, and Theory Time books. The Piano Adventure Series is great because the song arrangements have tiered piano proficiency for beginner to intermediate players. After students work in these books, other repertoire can be added to perform for holidays and recitals. For trombone students, I first make sure my students make characteristic sounds and introduce music to meet their playing level. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Viola Bass Guitar Harmonica Mandolin Electric Violin Fiddle Double Bass
My teaching experience spans 6 years. I've taught all ages, so I'm comfortable with everybodys learning pace. In college I studied under the Latin Grammy award winning La Catrina Quartet, and I hope to pass down the knowledge I gain from that experience to my students. With my students, I take them step by step through were they are as a musician, to were they need to be. My experience working in ensembles will also expand my students ability to play in groups of all sizes (which will often happen). Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
Shortly after my graduation and subsequent marriage, I began a teaching career that has included private piano lessons, small classroom groups, combined piano/voice lessons at a private music school, and being a homeschool educator to my own three children! I am a skilled accompanist, which requires remembering that your job is to uplift and support the group or individual performer as they sing or play. I have accompanied many church choirs, school choirs, vocal and instrumental recitals, and ensemble groups. 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!
