Instruments: Piano Guitar
I am passionate about music and enjoy sharing that passion with others. In 2018, I graduated from the University of Dayton with a Bachelor of Arts in Music Therapy and minor in Psychology. I am currently a full time music therapist at University Hospitals Seidman Cancer Center, Main Campus. I love working as a music therapist, but I also enjoy teaching music lessons. I have been playing classical piano for about 15 years and acoustic guitar for about 5 years. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet
I cater my teaching and methods to each individual student and his/her needs and goals. For beginners, I often use Hal Leonard’s Essential Elements. After progressing past that, the Rubank books and Hite etudes work for many students. Starting around 8th grade, I introduce solo repertoire appropriate to their level. During lessons, I always have students work on some form of scale, sight-reading, and ear training. I have several duet books (and a Disney book!) that students love to sight-read from. Read More

Upon a student's evaluation every lesson with any student should form it's own branch or life of it's own. Music is a passionate expression. I help students understand their instruments. Self expression, individualism, and self composition are traits I sought as a student and musician. My joy as a teacher, instructor and mentor is seeing the excitement someone achieves when they finally feel the "got it" or are starting to connect the dots. Read More

I have been teaching on and off since 2010 and now teach almost exclusively from my home studio in Bloomington, IN. I've had the experience of teaching everyone from 4 year olds to advanced adult students and implemented various teaching methods for the many different minds learning styles. I always liked to look at the art of music like learning a language so I have since learned to create individualized lesson plans for my students that gives students plenty time to "speak", that is learning the fundamentals, phrases, and tools to share their personal story and to study the vast pedigree of music that has come before them.

In my time as an instructor, I have not used any particular method book in my lessons. I will buy a notebook for each student where all important information from the lesson will be recorded. I write charts and exercises myself using tablature or standard notion depending on the student. As music being such a cumulative concept, I like to not only focus on pedagogy, but music theory and aural skills as well. Read More
Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
I am a very respectful, passionate and responsible teacher. I get lots of positive feedback from my students and parents and I have maintained a good relationship with my students who I have taught before. I respect my students, I always let them know my expectations toward their music learning with efficient communication. I am also a strict teacher when if come to music practice, laziness is not allowed in my class. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Touch your instrument every day you eat. LOL! In all seriousness, it is better to practice a little bit for many days in between lessons, than just cram a practice session in the day before. ALWAYS practice the day of your lesson (right after) OR the next day to put into practice at home what you learned during the lesson.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
What I like is if your child can read, they are ready. I will take younger children, with parent involvement - and those lessons are more game based and introduction to the instrument rather than serious study.
When will I start to see results?
The more time you invest in your instrument and the more you practice the way the teacher asks you to practice, the sooner the results. I also tell students that I go as fast or slow as the student tells me, through the interactions at lesson. Some students go very quickly and learn quickly, others need more time.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My mother is in music, and you can say I was in music before I was even born. She is definitely an inspiration and a current teacher of mine in both piano, pedagogy, and business. My flute teacher is Gary Schocker, the more prolific living flute composer, and is absolutely a fabulous flute player! I have learned so much from him - and when he looked at me and said, "Why you can really play!" I think it changed my life!
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose flute since before I was born. The first instruments I recognized was piano (my mother's instrument) and flute. We think she composed a flute solo in her final senior orchestral composition project, which I must have attached to.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of being able to use my music no matter what was happening in life- from losing family members, to moving around the country since marriage, to raising 5 children. It has always been a part of my life, and I have always found places to play.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
One that comes to mind is a flute student of mine when I taught in Naperville, IL. The Catholic Church in town was very particular on who would play for important services, and one of the most important ones was the midnight mass on Christmas Eve/Day. She was chosen as a sophomore in high school to play in that orchestra, the only high schooler asked in the parish. I went into the crowded church and found a seat in a tiny corner. It was one of the most beautiful musical times I was able to enjoy!
