Instruments: Piano Guitar
I have a laisse-faire style of teaching. I am very relaxed and like my students to be relaxed. I depends on how the lesson flows. If we are making ground and they are picking up a lot I will give them more and more tools to work with to keep them inspired and moving! I love seeing people get excited. I feel excited sometimes when they are excited. It is an infectious energy and is filled with life. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Accordion French Horn Music Keyboard
As I mentioned in the "about me" section, I served as principal horn with Държавна опера Стара Загора (the Bulgarian State Opera in Stara Zagora) from late 2017 to the very end of 2019, right before the pandemic hit. Before that, from 2016-2017, I taught public school for the first (and last) time in Natoma, Kansas, acting as the band, choir, and advanced music instructor. That same year I also taught at Fort Hays State University in Hays, Kansas as Interim Professor of Horn and also was a staff collaborative pianist. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard
Ive been teaching music for over 7 years, both online and in-person, working with students from ages 4 to 45 though most of my current students are between 515 and adults 20+. My teaching experience includes everything from private voice, piano, and songwriting lessons to group classes and full band coaching, which Im planning to offer again in 2026. My own musical journey is rooted in both classical and contemporary styles. Ive worked with the Norwegian Opera House, giving me a strong foundation in classical technique and musicianship. Read More

I create custom lesson plans for all my students, integrating their interests, strengths and weaknesses into a cohesive, dynamic education schedule. I incorporate a variety of different lesson books to ensure musical reading while encouraging consistent exercises in using our musical ear. I use modern music to inspire students to learn the songs they like. I also promote songwriting and other creative outlets to inspire students to find their own musical voice. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Saxophone Clarinet Drums Bass Guitar Synthesizer Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
For all students I access what your musical background is and what may be lacking from your knowledge and playing. I also ask what your particular goals and things you would like to learn are. From there then we will start to tailor the lesson as both us see fit. In general I like a student to be able to play three simple melodies before moving on to chords, rhythms, and music theory.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My mother is very musical. She sang in church choirs, plays piano and guitar.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
Every time I tried to move away from music, it came back and grabbed me. I got my Master's in Education from HArvard University and was set to interview to work on Children's Television Workshop in Boston, Mass But I went back to Scotladn, started busking inthe streets of Edinburgh adn fell in with a proudcer who ended up recording my songs and getting me a publishing deal in London.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started by playing the piano, then grabbed my mother's guitar and stared playing that. Later, I gravitated toward bass, banjo, autoharp,dulcimer, ukelele, melodica. I do play some violin too. As I am a producer, and have a Pro tools and Logic studio, I find it helpful to play as many instruments as I can.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love the electric guitar. i love playing blues riffs. I love grunge music (my generation, I guess) and I love jazz.
But I also love Celtic music, American Folk music and I like to play in different tunings on the guitar.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I am also a writer and an English teacher.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
B.A in Music, English and Theater.
I wrote scores for theater when in college.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I like to take one songwriter/band and learn as much as I can from him/her/them. recently, I have been learning as much as I can about The Beatles. Studying each song is a huge education
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
We go something like this:
1. 10-15 minutes warm up: scales, drills, chords. Change tempos.
2. The rest of the session is on repertoire: we have a number of songs we want to learn. And so we work the song. I teach from the original recordings. we adapt as we go, but we really study the original work and learn as much from it as we can.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
When I teach piano, I use Hanon. These are the best finger exercises ever created. As to guitars, bass, string things, I use my own method. My book has not been published but one ofthese days it will be!
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Two of my students have ended up with record deals. I provided a safe space for them to work on their crafts and record, I did not judge. I simply recorded them very well, and inspired a lot of confidence.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing is to stick with it. Patience. Also focus. This is why an sintructor can be so helpful. It takes a while to build confidence and to get a sense of what you want to do with your instrument. You need support and structure.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I was awarded BEST NEWCOMER in the UK and got to represent my country in Japan at a World Music Festival. The award was given to me by Sir Goerge MArtin, and I will never forget that moment, though I regret I was so young I tried to hug Sir Martin! And that was not appropriate!
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I really didn't. The guitar chose me. I had to write songs. I started writing when I was six, on the piano. The instruments were there, adn I felt the need. They drew me to them.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
The answer to this is that my teachers were so awful I was determined to go into music to be better than they were to me.
One viola teacher made me, for a month, stand and hold my viola. I didn't even play. And then he criticised the way I held the instrument.
When will I start to see results?
The result you want to see is a need the child will feel to play the instrument! To express. To release energy.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Build in foundation work. Practice scales, chords, and work with a metronome.
Do the stuff that isn't fun first. But get it done. And do it often.
Know theory. Learn how to read, if notation, tablature, chord charts. Anything that works.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
You will easily know if your child starts playing an instrument on his or her own. Do not push or force music on a kid.
