I Try to get away from mechanism without joy. Everything has to be close to the music. Exercises to be actually doing them with a rhythm and time. Other than doing things musically, practicing in different times and intentions help a lot for the student to be open to play songs in different ways. Technique and theory are necessary tools. To apply concepts musically they need to do it with musical taste. Read More

I've been teaching since college, teaching percussion ensembles and private percussion lessons, before eventually branching out into teaching private lessons on all the instruments I know! Since my time as a teacher, I've worked with hundreds of students and have become proud of all the growth I've seen in them. Working with so many students has also been educational for me as a teacher, and I've begun to develop methods through that experience that I can bring to new students. Read More

I believe that motivation begins with excitement and there is no better way to help a student stick to a practice routine than teaching him or her to play their favorite songs. Of course, a knowledge of music theory is very important, but I always make sure that we don't get bogged down in minutia, and that each student is allowed to proceed at his or her own pace. A practical and usable knowledge of music's fundamentals is employed to get results and keep the student motivated and actively learning. Read More

I have 7 years teaching both in a private studio setting and in group/ensemble setting. I teach piano, saxophone, flute, and clarinet, to all levels and ages. I have experience teaching and playing in marching bands, orchestras, salsa bands, jazz bands, and wind ensembles, to contemporary Christian/worship bands. I have played in several musicals. I front my own contemporary Christian Band, and we just released our first album in April, 2013. Read More

My teaching style is very down to earth and fully based on the desires of the students. If you want to learn rock music and only rock music that is what we will learn. I may work in some other genres and songs that are directly linked to the style of music that you want to learn. But the student's interests are the main focus. I believe and have come to understand musicians are made in a variety of ways. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I'm an experienced and passionate teacher. I graduated from Northwestern University in 2001 with a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance and University of Southampton in the UK in 2010 with a Master of Music, Vocal Performance. I have performed throughout Europe and the US in many capacities, and in addition to my training in classical voice and musical theatre, I'm also an accomplished recording artist. My coaching practice encompasses all styles, as I myself have performed in and trained in all styles from classical to pop. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Make it your goal to practice just 15 minutes a day and your growth as a musician will happen very quickly. Waiting for the last day before lessons does not give you the benefit of repetition over many days. Also, once you start your 15 minutes, you might actually enjoy the creative process and spend more time than you originally planned. The hurdle that we all need to overcome is TIME! We are all busy people, but music is essential to the human soul, so it is so important to make the time! Just 15 minutes a day will truly do wonders.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
For your child to be successful at the repetition and structure of learning the piano, they should show an interest and joy in music and learning an instrument. Your child will most likely be between 8 and 10 years old with a 30 minute attention span for sitting still long enough to do something like homework or read a book. Your child will have the fine and gross motor skills to write alphabet letters. It is imperative that your child be able to read and write, so they can be successful.
For vocal students, your child should be able to read and write, so again between the ages of 8-10 are good for beginning. The students at this age will catch up very quickly to peers who may have started their music training at a younger age. They will be musically and developmentally ready to start their music instruction.
When will I start to see results?
Enthusiastic parents and students can work together to see results. Parents can help students remember to practice at home as part of their daily routine. After 2-3 months of diligent 15 minutes/day practice, the students will show dramatic growth in their music skills. Parents who have a positive attitude and help students feel enthusiastic about practice will provide the structure and support students need to be more successful. Students should also find music that excites them and watch videos of musicians who inspire them and study the style of music they want to emulate.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I was the pianist for the LDS San Bernardino Stake Choir for over 4 years. I also had the honor of assisting with choir conducting there. I have accompanied youth and children's choirs for over 20 years. For singing, I have sung duets and solos since I was in high school and I am always watching and learning and applying new style and techniques to my performances.
