For beginning students, I generally start with the Accent on Achievment book series and spend the first few lessons assessing and addressing the important fundamentals of the students' particular instrument. After working out of the book for an apropriate amount of time, I introduce solo repertiore from both pop and classical genres. I want my students to learn, but I want them to have fun and enjoy what they are learning. Read More

I began teaching private lessons in 1989. My focus is to understand what learning style my students have and base my teaching methods on their individual needs. In college I studied pedagogies (teaching methods) for band, orchestra and majored in vocal and classroom education. Since achieving my degree in teaching kindergarten through 12th grade education, I have worked in Preschool, Elementary, Middle School, and High School settings as well with the elderly. Read More

Additionally, I like students to work on solos with piano accompaniment, although I don't require it. I am also a big fan of using duets to build listening skills and fluidity (and most students think duets are fun!). For piano lessons, I have experience with a variety of methods; each has its strengths and weaknesses. If a student is already using a particular method, we can continue with that if it seems to be working well. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music
I am very personal in the way I handle my lessons! You come to me and tell me what you are looking to learn or accomplish and I will put together a plan to make that happen. I work with a lot of artists on their original music as well, getting them ready for recording the music or performing live. I also teach from a holistic approach taking into account many different elements that affect vocal health / performance. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
Each student needs a long-term goal in mind for where they want their voice to be. I like to start out by setting a couple realistic goals for the long-term with my students, then breaking those goals down into manageable steps each associated with one or two pieces. I also want students to know that they are accomplishing their goals, so I have my students tape lessons and listen back later to hear their progress. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
Lesson plans are catered to the needs and level of each individual student. For younger students with maturing voices, I generally work on basic technique like breathing and posture. I will teach solfege and simple songs that help develop the young singer's ear and a relationship to their voice. For more mature voices, typically above the age of 16, I begin to approach more technical areas of singing like vowel formation, breath energy and management, agility, legato, vocal registration, and a more detailed understanding of the physical anatomy behind singing.

When will I start to see results?
You should start to see results in no later than a month. I believe that if the student has an instrument and is serious about being a musician then the natural ambition they possess will drive them to be successful also. Motivation at home is also a key factor. A good diet and exercise is a great way to see results even in music! Sometimes the student may want to learn a favorite song on the instrument for cool points with themselves or for entertainment. This is s great way to see progress quickly since they already enjoy the tune. So likely they will learn it fast as possible!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes. My grandfather was my first inspiration. He was a guitarist and keyboard player. I would listen to him play all the time when I lived with him and my granny as a kid. When I was around 12 years old I knew that I wanted to be a guitarist. I heard Led Zeppelin and I was blown away! Then I heard Jimi Hendrix and I definitely knew I was going to be a professional musician. Around 11th grade my band teacher put me in the orchestra because I would always come to the band room during lunch and play the double bass
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
You will know if the student is a good student in other classes besides music and if they have discipline. Good conduct and moral standards are important also. Respect for others and themselves. If they can be confident in asking questions and not feel embarrassed about being wrong sometimes is a good indication in my opinion. If the child shows a natural talent for music and they constantly are creating sounds with their mouth or banging on things is a good indication also. If the the student likes to dance then that is s good indication also in my opinion.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
It is a very important part of musical growth. I always have stood by practice like you play. The more time the student spend with the instruments the better they will become. But I also believe that playing your instruments a lot does not necessarily make one a better musician. The student had to get out of the comfort zone and practice things that are challenging and sometimes opposite of what they may like musically. Practicing slow and methodically will greatly improve a students technique and tone while also making them more confident to learn the music.
