Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Ukulele Acoustic Guitar
I currently use Piano Adventures Lesson and Theory books for beginner students. I have also used the Alfred series and really like the Finger Power series, too. Fundamentals of music theory is extremely important for new students of any age. I ask students to use the Music Tutor App to help them learn note names for the treble and bass clefs, and they learn by playing a fun game. We sometimes have competitions with siblings to see who can get the highest score! Read More

I think music making is the most appealing part of learning to play a new instrument. This is why I try to make every new concept Iteach as appealing and as fun as possible. For example, if in day one I am teaching two notes, I like to have as much fun with those two notes by making a song or a game out of them. In this way my students are able to engage in music and have fun while they are learning. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I helped students successfully prepare auditions for college, musical theatre productions, all-state choir, summer music programs, and more. I taught students in a wide variety of musical styles and skill levels. I was also able to sing in two professional choirs from 2010-2019. For the last 7 years, in addition to teaching private piano and voice lessons in my private studio, I also served as the choir director/music theory/music appreciation instructor at the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy, a small state-funded boarding high school for gifted students.

After completing my BA in public relations I was awarded a teaching assistantship at the University of Arkansas to teach the basic speech requirement. I became pregnant and did not complete my MA but began teaching private piano lessons part time while raising my children. As the needs of my family changed I began working with children in other ways such as coaching ball teams. For 10 years I served on my citys Parks Board and have worked as a local coordinator for foreign exchange students. Read More

I train students in performance, improvisation and composition, and use multiple forms of disciplinary actions to correct students behavior. Each student's progress is my progress. I love to work with students of all ages. I am serious, disciplined, and structured. However, I am also exceptionally friendly, helpful, polite and patient. I am fluent in English, Russia, Azeri, and Turkish. Read More

My teaching style is just like most I think. I don't rush with the students. Always trying to go slow and make sure the students understands everything. I've gotten pretty good at figuring out when the students get what I'm trying to teach. If I feel like I'm going to fast I'll stop think about what I'm doing and slow down. It's easy to talk to fast and rush as a teacher because I've taught so many students. Read More
Instruments: Piano
My method of teaching puts emphasis on the keyboard fundamentals that develop sound piano technique. I use a systematic approach in which the student progresses from their present level, whatever it may be, beginner, intermediate, or advanced, to their next level in a reasonable time. For students at the beginning or intermediate-beginning levels, I would choose from the Faber, Albert, Leonard, or Thompson piano methods. I always give the student after each lesson a method of practice for the music/lessons required. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Running a piece from top to bottom over and over is something I have learned a lot of students think is useful, but actually is a much less effective way of learning a piece. I coach my students to break down each piece into phrases and work on each part until they can play it memorized because they know it so well. This helps them learn the piece as individual phrases with expression and not just a memorization of a fingering pattern. Breaking anything down always helps learning, not just in music. I think it's important to remember that learning music is like learning another subject and takes time, assessment, and study.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
One major question you need to know is if are they willing and ready to practice. If they just want to go to lessons, learn from the teacher during that 30-60 minute period once a week, and go home and not touch the instrument then they are not ready. This won't be effective learning. Music requires a lot of individual practice time using the tools taught at lessons. If your child seems excited about learning the instrument and wants to dedicate some time a week for practice, then they are ready.
When will I start to see results?
Every student learns at a difference pace. This is not something that can be measured universally across the board. Age, maturity, dedication, willingness to learn, practice time, and pre-music knowledge all tie into a student's results. As a teacher, the student needs to understand that I can not turn them into a great player, but that they need to put in the time and effort. I can only guide, instruct, and lead them to teach effective ways to practice. Most students make the widest span of improvement in the first year because they are effectively learning so much information and learning the tools to become a better player.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My first piano teacher was a very kind, patient, and understanding teacher. She worked with me to not only teach me piano essentials and standards, but found out what music on piano I'm passionate about playing and listening to. It is important to learn and play music of all styles. Even if you know you want to be a jazz player, it's still important to learn classical standards as well and vice versa. She worked with finding me pieces she knew I would enjoy playing, as well as important pieces for me to learn to develop piano strength. This inspired me to keep being involved in music up until even today, learning as many instruments as I can, as well as spreading the love of music!
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Something about the horn always called to me. Ever since I was little I enjoyed listening to symphonies and movie scores and picking out the horn parts and listening closely to their tone. I wanted to be able to make that sound soar when I played just like the recordings I heard. The first time I picked up a horn, I had the natural embouchure to play it without being told how to do it. Many times students will think they want to play an instrument but may not be able to make a sound on it, while having a great tone on another. It is important to listen to your natural ability on an instrument, but also enjoy it at the same time.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started on piano because I wanted to learn music from a very young age. I loved playing piano, but I was ready to take on another instrument and I was still to young to start a band instrument. This is what encouraged me to start the violin. When it was time for band to start, I picked up a couple band instruments so I could be involved in concert band as well as jazz band. I have been spreading myself to learn more instruments since because I love the process of learning something new, and the challenge it brings.
