Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
After completing my BA in public relations I was awarded a teaching assistantship at the University of Arkansas to teach the basic speech requirement. I became pregnant and did not complete my MA but began teaching private piano lessons part time while raising my children. As the needs of my family changed I began working with children in other ways such as coaching ball teams. For 10 years I served on my citys Parks Board and have worked as a local coordinator for foreign exchange students. Read More

I am a music educator, performer, and recording artist with more than 40 years of experience. I studied classical music at The Peabody Consevatory of Music and Jazz at Berklee College of Music. I have studied with and taken private lessons from many great musicians. I have performed with and opened for numerous national acts such as James Brown, Patti Labelle, Chaka Khan, Chick Corea, The Rippingtons, and many more. I currently perform as a freelance musician and music educator in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Read More
Instruments: Piano Organ
My experience with teaching began during my undergraduate studies. I have worked with students in the classroom teaching elementary music as well as at the middle school and high school level teaching choir. In addition, I have taught my closest friends in piano and organ. While I was the staff accompanist at a high school, I taught the treble choir and gave piano and voice lessons during off-periods. I have thoroughly enjoyed teaching, especially when I see that students are inspired by music and are willing to take on the task of mastering their craft. Read More
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

I take a physiological approach to singing...after all it is a physical endeavor. The voice or larynx, despite all it complexities, is just another set of muscles that can be trained to reach its fullest potential. The method I teach, “The Franco/Italian Bel Canto Method” has been taught in Europe for more than 200 years and has produced the world’s greatest classical singers. Now, having said that let me assure you that studying this method doesn’t mean you have to become a classical singer. The techniques used are designed to strengthen and improve the quality of the human voice and can be applied to any genre whether your goal is “Broadway,” “American Idol” or you simply want to improve your voice for your own personal satisfaction. The method also addresses all things associated with singing, such as breathing, posture and stage presence. Read More

For piano ages 7-12: I typically start with Primer Piano Adventures or Level 1. I also use Keith Snell Scale Skill Levels for skill and chord practices which is helpful for all kinds of music! For guitar and ukulele: Hal Leonard guitar and ukulele method. These books also teach reading the notes in sheet music and understanding how to play them on the guitar or ukulele, as well as including a tab. Read More

I try to get to know each student a little in the introduction/first lesson. I ask about their music goals and where they would like to be in a few months to a year. We talk about their favorite styles of music and artists. I am so excited to see my students progress and learn a new chord, play a new song well, sing a more challenging song, increase their vocal range, and become excited about their new musical skills!

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
When I was in highschool, our church pianist had to take a leave of absence to take care of her sick child. There was noone else in the church who was willing to take on the responsibility of playing for the congregation, choir, and ensembles, so I started practicing VERY hard! I enjoyed accompanying very much, and was taught to follow the singers' lead by my father, which has been very helpful over the years. So, when I got to college, I naturally chose to study church music which included private lessons in piano, hymnplaying, and organ.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I love the Rachmaninoff 2nd concerto. My brother played this when I was in high school, and he needed someone to practice the orchestra part. So, we lifted our upright that was in the spare room up on it's end, and wheeled it out to the living room beside our baby grand. We'd sit for hours with him playing the piano part, and me playing the orchestra part, badly! :) But, we had fun, and it would be amazing to perform the piece myself with a live orchestra one day! My brother did perform the first movement with a live orchestra, so he has me beat!
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I weren't a musician, I would probably be sewing bags like my sister in law. My mother is a seamstress, and she taught me how to sew from a very early age. I tried to start a bag business a few years ago, making all kinds of different coloured bags in trendy colours. It was so much fun...the first three bags. After that, I got quite bored, and by the 6th bag I put the fabric away. Every once in a while I get the sewing machine out, and get my fix, only to put it away for another 6 months. But, I taught my sister in law how to make them, and she has little business now, so all was not lost!
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I like to play hymns, and arrange hymns, taking something old, and creating something new and beautiful. I like to take a simple accompaniment, and utilize the silence to create something quiet and peaceful. I enjoy accompanying voice and instrumentalist, and especially enjoy the challenge of following a free musician. After that, I enjoy Mozart and Bach. Mozart is simply relaxing once you have learned the piece. Bach is challenging but rewarding. My teachers told me off for this, but I do enjoy letting my mind drift once I have learned a piece to any and everything.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started playing the piano when I was 8, but at 10 we were offered instrument classes at school. I wanted to drop the piano and just take flute, but my parents wisely insisted I do both or just piano. So I continuted to take piano and flute through highschool. I loved playing the flute in band and orchestra, and I joined the carolina youth symphony my senior year of highschool, playing the flute and piccolo. We played so much fun music, which required much practice. I considered becoming a performance major, but performing solo was intimidating as a highschooler, and so I chose to do church music instead.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes, music does run in my family. My father played the trombone, and sang in choirs for most of his highschool and college years. My brother also played the piano and the trombone and has played with several orchestras. He still plays the piano professionaly in private recitals.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
Becoming a professional musician was not something I planned, but really something that just happened. The first student I had was recommended to me by my flute teacher. Then, one by one, people would just ask me if I taught lessons after hearing me play or that I teach. I took a break while my children were small, but as soon as they were able, I started teaching them piano lessons, and then doubled them up with other students for group lessons. Now, as they are older, I teach private lessons to others as well.
