As a strong believer of the KIPP mission and vision, I work hard to instill the truths spoken to me behind the process of getting to and through college, constantly reminded by the words of Marianne Williamson that “our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond measure.” There are 2 things that I believe in regards to education: 1) All students can/will learn. 2) It is not whether or not you are smart, but rather HOW you are smart, citing Gardner's Theory of Intelligence.

Instruments: Piano
My teaching experience began while studying piano performance at SFA! At first, I was a little concerned with how I would manage as a student teacher; however, as the semesters went by, I fell in love with the process. I’ve grown to learn how each student is different, not only in their personalities, but the way they process what’s in front of them. The time they take to learn their material is very important to me, and the more I see them grow, the more accomplished and proud I feel as a teacher! Read More
Instruments: Piano
I believe that the role of a teacher is to guide and to help their students to develop a lifelong love of learning. I offer my students a balanced approach in learning music. I believe anyone can be taught to play an instrument at any age, if genuine interest is there. With more than 5 years of teaching piano working with children and adults, I hope I can help you or your child appreciate and grow the love of music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trombone Euphonium Tuba Keyboard
With my wind instrument and percussion students, I like to start with a method book. My favorites include Essential Elements and Standard of Excellence. I find that, especially for younger students, this is a great way to introduce beginner theory while learning to apply it to their playing. I spend a great deal of time discussing the importance of breath and practicing breathing gym exercises. My piano method book of choice varies depending on the skill level of the student. Read More

My teaching style is very laidback yet focused. I'm still a student myself so I know that my students might not have time to practice every day, but at the same time, you've got to practice consistently to see results. I focus on trying to get those consistent results while still making sure my students have fun in the process. One of the most rewarding things about music is finally learning a song you've been trying to learn for a while or realizing how far you've come, and I know I can help my students reach that fulfilling point.

Instruments: Drums Music
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Playing the drums is a lot like tapping your head and rubbing your belly at the same time. Most people can't do it at first but if you practice it you can master it.
Playing drums requires control and independence of movement, and only practice can get you there, however, practice is not about playing what you're good at. In fact, effective practice means practicing what needs work. If you practice and find that everything you're you play sounds perfect, then you are not practicing at all. Challenge yourself daily and understand that practice is the time you spend learning the lessons your instructor teaches you, including new concepts, methods, and new techniques, which means you may struggle at first. The sound may not be great but that's your brain and body working together to "figure out this puzzle".
I always tell my students to "practice slowly". Just like tapping your head and rubbing your belly, practicing slowly gives your brain a chance to process everything you're body is doing. It helps to make the necessary mind/body connections to build muscle memory. Once you build that memory, the next challenge is a bit easier to handle.
Take a break during your practice time. You'll find when you come back after 5-10-15 minutes that you will execute the lesson with far more precision than before.
CREATE A SPACE
It's important to create an area in your home that you dedicate as your practice space. Hold it sacred. Keep your sticks, books, and practice pad (or drum set) set up and ready to go on a moment's notice. Practice everyday. If you don't have the time or energy one day, that's ok. We all have those moments. But DO pick up the sticks for 5-minutes, hold them in your hands and, if so inclined, practice one short exercise.
STAY CONNECTED TO YOUR INSTRUMENT
Stay connected to your instrument. Avoid distractions during practice sessions. Turn off your phone/TV. Close the door behind you and dedicate a minimum of 30-minutes a day, everyday. Practice makes perfect.
Also, it's important to have fun. Don't stress over practicing. Keep a positive attitude, and know that you are getting better everyday. Sometimes progress will be quick while others a bit slower. You may master one technique in a matter of days, weeks, or months, while other techniques require a lifetime of practice.
They say it takes 10,000 hours be an expert at something. There's no time like the present. Start now!
