Instruments: Piano
For my beginner students who are children I typically start out with either Hal Leonard or Fabre lesson books to learn all the very important foundational keys in music. As I notice they are grasping the concepts and able to apply them I then like to find outside resources such as sheet music, classical, pop to allow them to enjoy and discover what they love most. When it comes to my beginner adult students I usually start them off in the Fabre adult beginner book. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Viola
I have been teaching privately since 2006 and in public schools since 2011. I have high expectations of my students and encourage them to have fun in their lessons. As my students grow, I tailor their repertoire to fit their needs and interests. I teach child and adult students. It's never too late to learn! Read More
Instruments: Piano
Alfred Publishing piano courses (both older and newer), Faber and Faber, Bastien, Edna Mae Burnam, and the Hal Leonard course have all been among my pre-published methods that I have used over the years. I have also adopted some technic content from elsewhere. For example, the Zion Conservatory of Music, where I taught from 2004 to 2018, uses a couple of different customized scale patterns for first- and second-year students. A book I have used with intermediate students is a Conus Russian piano method edited by James and Susan McKeever, who taught the Parkside piano pedagogy courses. Read More
Instruments: Piano
For beginning students under the age of 10, I start with the beginning John Thompson book. Depending on the type of music the students want to play I will instruct them on more advance lessons that I learned from. Practically all of my lessons are taught from the John Thompson book. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute Keyboard
I have been teaching private piano lessons for almost ten years and flute for one. I love being able to work with students of all ages :) I worked for a time as the events coordinator in a nursing home and got to use music as therapy and even teach some of the senior residents! I am currently the basket ball pep band director for UW - Mikwaukee, which puts a lot of energy and fun in the way I approach music directing and teaching. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Viola
I have been called the female Jack Black by many of my former and current students. So I do believe you could say that I am fun, I make things comfortable and provide a great environment to learn, but then I can also truly be serious and strict when it comes to practicing and performing. Expectations: Practice DAILY. Be ready for each lesson. Be willing to communicate with me about things you do not understand. Read More

I am a percussionist , drummer and beginning piano instruction. I have a music degree as well a master's degree in education. I have been teaching for the past 20 years with both school age student's as well as adults in individual and group settings. Did projects such as Music to My Ears project which won an international award. Did a presentation at the U.S. Music Therapy conference on this project that was done at Kindcare in Milwaukee while working with adults with severe developmental disabilities. Read More

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
All kids are different, I had students who started in 4yo, but I would say for most kids 6yo is the best time to start paying piano.
When will I start to see results?
I would say first results you have to see from first lessons. Result is if your child would like to get back to lesson, if you child sit and play without your reminders...
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes , I did have a teacher who inspired me to go into music. It was my elementary music school teacher.
She never forced me to do something, always was very patient and wise.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I choose piano because this instrument has sound as orchestra. Piano does need support - accompaniment instruments.
I guess that Piano by itself is orchestra in good hands!!
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My accomplishments is my students, taking places at competitions, simply enjoying to play new piece,
having fun to perform at Christmas recital, picking very first familiar tunes:)
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Yes, I have a lot students who took places at competitions. They succeeded because several points connected,
like practice, patience, persistence , family support, teacher's correct approach and of course drop of genius!
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master in any way is to be very persistent , keep positive way of thinking, do not give up,
May the goal and try to reach it !
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Yes, I do have several my favorite teaching methods books, but its not my choice but my students just show interest to one type of the books and trying to to avoid another one.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Normal practice session has to consist of several part like technique part ( scales, chords, arpeggios..), working on at least two songs, and 5-7 minutes theory exercises as a study glossary, aural skills, sight reading...
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
Yes, I do have Master Music Degree in Performance, Education and Theory. I choose those three branches of music education because of successful studying piano consist of great lesson/theory support for better understanding/concert performance.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I do not have dream piece, because all mu dreams already came true!! Everything what I wanted to perform I did it.
Like G.Gershwin Rhapsody in Blue, F.Chopin Scherzo #2, P. Tchaikovsky Concerto for Piano and Orchestra. F. Lizst Sospiro and many more...
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I do not see myself in another field. I like my job, it is not just source of income but my inspiration, my hobby, my joy of life.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I like to play different styles , it depends on composition, but of course my most favorite is Romantic Style with a lot of Chopin, Lizst, Mendelssohn and Rachmaninoff
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I am playing one instrument -piano, and trying to do my best to be perfect in my choice. Even if I would play different instrument piano would be my favorite>
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My parents do not play piano but my daughter is great musician. I managed to instill a love to music.
She is not a teacher but music is her hobby.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
It was gradual decision. Even after very solid, 17 years of piano education I was looking for my own approach in teaching. And it took not one year.
