I really like using the Piano Adventures method for piano. However, I have used several method books for piano, guitar, and bass students before. Sometimes I do not require any books. It all depends on the student. I try to make a very personalized schedule per student. For adults, I also try to find out what the student is interested in and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lesson engaging and fun no matter their ability level. Read More

I understand that as a teacher, my job is to not just teach the instrument or a song, but to inspire a deep, passionate love for music. The teachers that had the biggest impact on me and that I enjoyed the most were the ones who cared the most about my relationship to the music I was playing. Because of this, I make sure the student is always engaged in what they are playing and are enjoying it. Read More

I have been sharing my love of music since first learning at age four! I am a classically-trained pianist and organist with a Bachelor of Music degree in Piano Performance from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.Throughout high school and college, I have had opportunities to study voice and sing in honors and collegiate choirs. Since graduating in 2014, I have enjoyed music making on the west coast while living in Oregon. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
Though I have been teaching for over two decade years, I am far from feeling like a burn-out. In fact, the more I teach, the more intrigued I become with the learning process, and I am constantly re-tooling my approach in order to help my students learn more effectively. I LOVE teaching, and I have chosen to teach privately because I enjoy the one-to-one interactions with my students. I can actually get to know each of my students, and I use my knowledge of each new student's goals, temperament, age and learning style to tailor each lesson. Read More

I have been teaching in New Orleans and expanding my studio for over four years. I love to meet my students where they are, push them to be the best musician they can be, and support them in achieving their goals. One way I do that is through asking them challenging questions that require them to apply previous concepts we've learned and reasoning. Another way is training students to use the metronome early on. Read More

As a drummer, I keep a smooth shuffle currently for 3 different rhythm blues bands who perform around New Orleans' Frenchmen Street and other top venues. I've also clocked studio sessions on bass, keys, violin, and viola. Viola and Violin came into my life as an adult and committed myself for 5+ to conquering the difficult fundamentals of these rewarding instruments. Currently in my spare time I enjoy learning baroque and classical music on piano. Read More

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Some of my students have won auditions for their regionals orchestra and also their all-state orchestra.
I have another student who is principal of her section in a music minor orchestra at her university.
Preparing for an audition will help the student even if they don't win it. The key is starting early enough before the deadline, having a game plan of how much to practice and then focusing in on the specific problems early on.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Break the problem down into small chunks. 1 to 2 measures of music. Work on it for 5-10 minutes and then move on. Practice your bow arm and left hand separately and then combine them later. Use a metronome! If you can't feel the pulse of the music you can't play it.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
For students under the age of 11 or so, are you as the parent able to encourage them to practice? And is the student not only interested but willing to commit 15-20 minutes 5-6 days per week to practice? If not, they will not make progress.
When will I start to see results?
Assuming the teacher is giving guidance and the student is receptive, results will be directly correlated to the amount of time and effort the student puts into it.
This is also greatly dependent on the age of the student and if they have had music lessons or are taking orchestra class in school or other musical activities.
I'd say after 1-2 months of practicing 5-6 days per week you should start to see and hear progress. If you are consistent with practicing, progress will be steady.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
In the 4th grade at my school students could start to learn a string instrument. I originally chose cello but had a bad experience with a teacher so then I switched to viola because a friend was doing it. I won a playing competition in the 4th grade playing Kookaburra and that was an encouragement to me to stick with it.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
All my teachers have inspired me with their high level of playing and their knowledge as well as their passion for teaching. They have helped me learn how to teach myself as I've gotten older which is an invaluable skill.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am proud that I've played principal viola in many orchestras, including the National Orchestral Institute Philharmonic and a music festival orchestra in Germany. I'm also proud of my students and my growth as a teacher. It is a great feeling when a student says they understand a concept, and when I hear them making progress in their playing!
