Instruments: Piano
I have been teaching music since I was a teenager. I started with my neighborhood friends, and later at a school of music, where I also hosted showcase concerts for my students. I then went into private teaching in 2009, and have been teaching student of all ages at their homes. I also taught high school choir, which was a life changing experience for me, as it gave me new insight to older children and how musical tastes evolve as they grow older. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I teach music, not just instruments. I try to develop a broad appreciation for music that will stay with my students wherever they go in life. I take an individualized approach based on learning styles and strengths. I believe in positive reinforcement, especially with younger students! I also take into account preferences for music styles and attempt to use repertoire that not only broadens their experience, but keeps students focused and interested. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I love to see students grow and develop their gifts, and it is important that students are treated as individuals who learn at their own pace. I encourage goal-setting by the student in addition to my goals. This helps a student know what he or she is working toward, which I've found to be helpful especially in the knitty-gritty moments of learning how to play. Setting goals also gives students the chance to achieve milestones throughout the process and define their success as musicians, making them eager to continue on in the process of learning. Read More

My teaching experience can go as far back as high school. Even though, I was still a student, My piano teacher let me teach the class because for 1). He didn't want to because he was a Choir teacher and it help him to prepared for his choir and 2). I was more advanced than everyone else. I took that opportunity and did the best I can. After High School, I continue to do lesson for piano. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Ukulele Recorder Music Keyboard
My teaching experience dates back about 20 years. Since then, I’ve taught many levels and many instruments. I’ve taught students ranging from 18 months to 81 years old. I’ve taught many styles;including jazz, pop, and rock. I’ve had students to make videos and win several competitions. My favorite genre to teach is classical. With classical, you can pull all of the other genres out of it. When you learn classical first, everything else seems to fall into place. Read More

For beginning students I have a number of books, resources and methods that I utilize in order to keep the lesson engaging and enjoyable. For more advanced students, I typically have a lesson plan or a direction that I want to go after assessing strengths and weaknesses. For all of my students, I always ensure that we are learning and practicing music and concepts that they find enjoyable and is headed in a direction that they want to go, all the while still challenging them of course.

Instruments: Piano Flute Piccolo
I began teaching flute lesson when I was a sophomore in high school in 2010 by helping middle school students, as well as other high school students, to prepare for band auditions. I taught throughout my time in college as well. I took a short break after graduating with my master's but have since returned to teaching in the Rockwall area. I have also taught in larger group settings, working with marching band flute sections and flute choir. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice makes perfect - there is no shortcut. One must practice, however, if the student can tap into the love and appreciation of the instrument and the music, the goal becomes one in which the student looks forward to and makes time in their daily life to have their time at the piano. I recommend tailoring the practice schedule to the student - remember our goal is to get the student to stick with it, especially at times where the learning curve is steeper. Setting a daily time works for some, others may be more motivated if, for example, the parent asks them to play while they are cooking dinner because they love to listen to the music. Playing for others enjoyment is usually motivating for new students.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
There is no perfect age to start the piano, however, I like to start a student at 6 years old. Around the time children start school, they are ready to pay attention for short bursts of time, they know their LH & RH, their brain is ripe for grasping and learning new concepts. That being said, I have started students in middle school and adulthood - it is never too late to learn an instrument and I love teaching beginning piano students - adults are usually motivated students! If an individual is expressing a curiosity, desire or aptitude towards learning the piano - then jump in and give it a try!
When will I start to see results?
After the first lesson! The beautiful thing about learning piano, is in 30 minutes you leave having learned something about the piano, music and theory that you didn't know when you started your lesson. Each lesson you should learn a little something new and have something new to work on to advance your ability to play the piano. As the student progresses, it may be a new note, a new time signature, a new piece of music, a new style of music, a new concept from theory, perhaps learning to transpose, or a new key signature.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Most certainly! My first piano teacher would clap her hands, dance, give me a hug, laugh and show delight as I would progress and play a song. Perhaps the song didn't sound very musical at the beginning, perhaps there were pauses and breaks in the music, perhaps there were wrong notes, but her exuberance and encouragement were vital to my confidence and desire to keep going in the early stages where the music doesn't sound too musical! An important component to achieving success at playing the piano is the commitment to stick with it until notes are learned and a student can play a few songs fluently and confidently, then they are able to "hear" their progress and have hope they will achieve their dream of being able to play the piano.
