My process for working with new voice students begins with an initial intake form, where I learn about your musical background, goals, and any specific areas youd like to improve. Following this, we schedule a first Discovery Lesson. This initial lesson allows us to get to know each other, assess your current abilities, and establish a baseline. Based on this assessment, I create a personalized lesson plan tailored to your unique needs and aspirations. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
As a teacher my goal is not to simply teach a student how to play or sing a certain song. My goal is to teach my students how to use the discipline of music to help them to develop their character. To that end I emphasize learning music fundamentals well and being able to put them into practice playing or singing in public at every opportunity. I also believe that playing with other musicians helps students to solidify their skills so I encourage them to play in an ensemble at every opportunity. Read More

I've got a huge experience for all my teaching and performing life... My lessons are for all ages. I worked with young and old, from ages 6 till 90, and each lesson is tailored to the student's age and ability. After first lesson I can see what method I can use for that student. Young kids I prefer to teach by classical music pattern paying attention to technical stuff increasing technic (scales, chords, arpeggios, etudes...) Students in old ages go through more easy reading song, their favorite, using Hal Leonard's books with names keys....Everything is dependent on for sure... Read More

Instruments: Piano
I have three areas of emphasis in my teaching: provide the student with a balanced repertoire, demand correct technique, and require a solid foundation in music theory. I will provide my students with opportunities to participate in recitals, festivals, contests, and state theory exams. Students are given clear and precise instruction at each weekly lesson as to what they should accomplish in their practice sessions during the week for the succeeding week. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar
I truly believe that if students are happy and enjoying what they play they will want to practice and sound better. I encourage students to try classical but we will dive into a more modern approach. Original compositions can also be a fun great way for students to want to practice. I also have a strong music theory and technology background to really make sure they are amazed by understanding the world of music. Read More

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My dad, was a band director. Therefore I watched him play trumpet I wanted to too. I ,started playing at the early age of 5.
My grandfather and grandmother were "music men" They would start bands in their communities wherever they lived. It was in Oklahoma where they first started their first band.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I earned a lot of outstanding awards growing up. Including outstanding performance in Jazz Trumpet at a Six Flags festival.
Region, Area bands,
A character education program I wrote and published sold into 400 plus elem schools nation wide. 1997-
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
After teaching for 25 years plus I have learned that if a child is ready for lessons then it should be their idea, because this will encourage self motivation. Practice if the key to playing the piano or any other instrument. If the child is unwilling to sit down and go over what was taught at the previous lesson, then the child is most definitely not ready to take lessons. My rule of thumb is if the child knows their ABC's and can count to ten then anyone can learn music, just have a willingness to learn and spend time and practice.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My dad played the trumpet, he was a band director. Therefore I picked up the trumpet in Kindergarten after watching him play it for all my life. I also remember my mother playing the piano for her school musicals for elem. school. I became an elem music teacher and I had to use the piano in my own classroom musicals.
When will I start to see results?
You will start to see results every time the student picks up their instrument. Instruments have to be practiced in order to improve. Results are seen almost immediately if you practice and apply what you have learned.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing effectively is slowing down and working through each piece of music note by note. If their is a missed note than that note must be found. Once found student should play the phrase at least 5 times without mistake, then go back and put it in the piece of music. After 5 non mistakes through the mistaken wrong note should disappear. Most beginning students will try to play by ear. A teacher can always tell when the student is grasping and not getting it. If a student rushes through practice it will be evident in the next lesson. Well practice can be 10 min. to 30 min. depending on the mind set of the one practicing.
