Instruments: Piano Voice Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion

Behind every good concert artist is a fabulous music educator. Having had my share of world class instructors, I understand the significant role that a teacher plays in the emotional, mental, and musical development of a student. In Nashville, I play for special events at the Nashville Symphony and at private events and galas in the Greater Nashville Area. In France, I studied with world famous artists and pedagogues, earning a teaching legacy that is only five piano professors away from Ludwig van Beethoven. Read More

Instruments: Piano Keyboard

Each method has it's own advantages; I like to select a method based on the learning style and needs of the student. I get students into playing many positions earlier than most method books teach with my own system, which aids in perception of the shape-oriented and chordal (voicing) structures that are present in all pieces. The sooner someone grasps the "words" in the language of music, the better the student's reading and comprehension will be. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Flute Piccolo Oboe Music Acoustic Guitar

I began teaching music in high school by leading flute sectionals in the marching band and music theory to my fellow choir members. I focused on performing during my undergraduate studies; then had the opportunity to share my musical talents in a different way when I began my music therapy career. In music therapy, I used music to address musical and non-musical goals. I have taught adaptive lessons for guitar and piano to teenagers through the senior age group. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard

Much of my training techniques come from my experience with Voice Teacher, Dr. Joseph Collins (PhD, Vocal Pedagogy), whom I studied with while living in Nashville. Dr. Collins made clear to me many secrets to developing proper vocal execution and placement that had been a mystery before. I gained much more awareness and understanding of my own voice. I have enjoyed many years of private vocal instruction while at universities (Kent State University, Belmont University) and have learned good and valuable practices from different professors.

Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Fiddle

For beginners, I typically start students off with the suzuki books to build technique, but I teach them from the classical perspective rather than the suzuki method. With intermediate and advanced students, i will introduce solo repertoire appropriate for recital performance and/or a commercial piece (fiddle tunes, pop songs, etc) that the student is interested in learning. Fiddle is my specialty, but I also teach classical violin and even my fiddle students will learn classical technique. Read More

I'm a music lover and love to spread the musical knowledge to others. I graduated from the University of Mississippi in 2007 with a Bachelor of Music degree in Music Education where I primarily studied the Clarinet. My very first instrument I played was the Piano, and I started at the age of 8. I primarily perform in church now. Read More
