Teaching Philosophy:Without discipline and technique, there is no possibility for art. At the same time, technique alone expresses very little. Rather, it serves as a tool that frees us to make music. I address the importance of both technique and artistry to my students of all levels. I like to encourage bold interpretive experimentation, and show students how I myself would experiment with phrasing, dynamics and rubato. I like to enliven my students' imagination, as well as tend to the important physical mechanics of playing the piano (your arms should not hurt).
Instruments:
I have been an enthusiastic musician since the time I began to sing at age 3. At 8 I began learning the piano and at 11 I began learning guitar. I graduated from Appalachian State University with a Bachelors Degree in writing, but my minor was in Music Performance. Inititally, I had planned to major in music but after some career changing decisitions I switched. I continued however, to continue taking music courses through the school. I also took many performance opportunities in the area through the school of music, through a student led A-Cappella group named Higher Ground (which I directed from 2010 to 2011), and through my own private gigging playing guitar and piano. I currently live in the Raleigh area and am employed part time as the Worship Music Director at Hope Presbyterian Church. I have been teaching privately since my time studying at Appalachian State, but I have just recently joined on with Musika. I offer instruction in guitar up to an advanced level, and I also offer instruction in voice, piano, and mandolin to an intermediate level.
Instruments:
I am a caring and passionate instructor who enjoys working with students and sharing my love for music. In 2013, I graduated from North Carolina Central University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music. I began my love of music at a very young age singing in choirs and later taking up the piano and viola. In 2006, I began teaching piano. I continue to perfect my craft daily.
Instruments:
For children, my foundational methods include Leonard, Krueger, Clarke, Arban, Reinhardt, Rizzetto, Pearson, and Rubank. Solo and ensemble repertoire is introduced at the appropriate time. Time is also spent on improvisation, writing original compositions, and learning music that the students have brought to the lesson. For adults, we focus on what students are interested in working on, regardless of their ability level. Many adults want to spend part of the lesson working with the foundational methods, and spend part of the lesson learning one or two pieces of music.
Instruments:
My style is all based on the student's learning ability. I find it is counterproductive, if I am strict with a student, if they can not learn in that manner. So I like to give an assessment first, before recommending a program. It is customized and different for each student.

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
