Instruments: Piano Recorder Music
. I love Music! My family has always incorporated music into our lives. Some of my earliest memories are being danced around in my Mom’s arms and listening to her sing. I began formal lessons on the Piano when I was 7 years old. Growing up also I sang in the Church Choirs, played on Hand Bells, and explored the Flute. I spent a formal year each on Trumpet, Drums and Harpsichord and am currently working on learning Zither, Autoharp, Dulcimer, and Soprano & Alto Recorders, and sometimes the guitar (when I have a chance).

Instruments: Piano Clarinet Recorder Bassoon Keyboard
I'm a fun-loving and passionate educator who loves working with students of all ages. Music has always been a huge part of my life. I am recent graduate from Arizona State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Music Education and Bassoon Performance. I started taking Indian classical vocal lessons and the drums at the age of 6 years old and have expanded my taste and knowledge of various music genres ranging from Thai Traditional to Western Classical.

Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard
I structure my lessons so that each student knows exactly what to expect each week. We begin with Warmups, Scales, Technique, Sight-reading in piano and/or voice. Then we move onto the literature, checking posture for both Voice and Piano. We recap, at the end of each lesson, so that any questions may be answered. We set goals for rehearsals, memorization, study requirements. I record vocal exercises, or accompaniment tracks for the student so that they are able to practice more efficiently. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Keyboard
I took guitar lessons, bass lessons, as well as piano lessons when I was a kid. I also interned at music studios and sat in on live audio gigs to learn that aspect as well. I have been playing for artists/bands live and in the studio (primarily on bass guitar) for almost 15 years now. From country, gospel, blues, to classic rock. Most of my experience teaching is with small children. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Flute
My teaching methods depend a lot on the student's ability. I believe that the only person who would stop you from pursuing your dreams is yourself. If there is a passion in you that constantly lives, you can achieve a lot.I have experience teaching adults and children, including children with special needs .I have experience in Music Therapy, performances, teaching beginners and intermediate level: talented and less talented students.

Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I like to have a balance in my lessons between fun and challenge. I do this by setting realistic goals each week for my students, dependent on their level of perfomance and the pace that they are progressing. Not everyone will progress at the same pace, and I feel that it is more important for a student to master a particular lesson than to move quickly through the lesson book. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I have been teaching sporadicaly since the age of 22, from both my home as well as studio locations. I worked at La Musique seven years ago, initially hired as a sub, and then hired on a more steady basis, as many students and parents were requesting me. They enjoyed my relaxed style and great sense of humor. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I believe the hardest thing to master is being a complete musician. There are many technical elements that go into mastering our instruments, and it is a lifelong process. However, with the right information, the right attitude, a willingness to work hard and work intelligently, I believe success is only a matter of time. Mastering instrument takes a life long pursuit of working hard, asking questions, listening to music, and having fun. Well I have many accolades and many successes at a very young age, I don’t believe I’ve mastered my instrument at all. I still feel that I have lots and lots of room to grow. I hope that is an inspiration to any student who is interested in becoming a better musician. If you always remember that you are a musician first, and a trumpet player second, then I believe that you can become well I have many accolades in many successes and a very young age, I don’t believe I’ve mastered my instrument at all. I still feel that I have lots and lots of room to grow. I hope that is an inspiration to any student who is interested in becoming a better musician. If you always remember that you are a musician first, and a trumpet player second, then I believe that you can become the complete musician that you have always dreamed of being.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am a member of the Jackson Symphony in Jackson Tennessee. I started playing with this orchestra when I was 22 and I was the youngest brass player in the orchestra at the time. I was very lucky to have been given this opportunity. I also have been featured as soloist with collegiate ensembles and a high school-age youth orchestra. I was featured as a guest artist in April 2018 at the Tennessee Technological University School of Music at the end of their spring guest artist series. I’ve had a lot of success as a musician at a very young age and I feel very blessed and lucky.
When will I start to see results?
You can begin to see results immediately. Progress is very relative to the student because they may or may not progress as fast as another student for any number of reasons. This is not a bad thing. Development takes time, and we live in a culture where people want immediate results and instant success. Being a musician means we probably won’t have instant success every time we pick up our instruments to play. It means that over time, if a student does what his or her teacher says to do, then they will improve. I can promise you will see results, but for some students it may take longer.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose trumpet because my first teacher was an inspiration to me. I remember sitting in band one day and listening to him practice and I thought to myself I want to play like him. So he allowed me to switch from percussion to trumpet and I’ve not regretted it since. I also began listening to a lot of recordings of great trumpet players and orchestras and realized I wanted to be a classical trumpet player. I love being a musician and I hope I can inspire my students to be musicians, too.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice slowly and softly in small segments. Don’t practice too much material in a single session. One example would be to use a stop watch and set a timer for five minutes and work slowly on a measure of music. Understand what needs work, why that would need work, and then practice slowly so you ingrain good habits. Don’t play things too fast because it can create bad mistakes and habits. Always strive for quality practice over quantity. An hour of fast, unfocused practice is a waste of time compared to ten minutes of highly focused practice.
