I began teaching music in 2010 while I was still an undergraduate student. Since then I have taught music lessons of all kinds to all ages in community music schools, in public schools, in students homes, and in my home studio. I teach students as young as 5 years old and have a lot of experience teaching adults as well. I encourage regular practice and goal setting as a way to realizing results. Read More

I love making music and helping students to be confident making music. I know that life can get busy and students won't always be able to practice every day, so I set realistic goals for them and emphasize that even just a little bit of (focused) practice is much better than no practice at all. The most important thing is that students feel like they are making progress and are enjoying the process, rather than checking off a box of drudgery every day just to check it off. Read More

I have used Hal Leonard and Bastien. If the parent has a older method book they wish to use I start there and fill in as I see needed. I encourage a slow start to get all the basics understood, then progress at the student's own pace and interests. Handouts and charts are supplemented as most students can't afford all the music books requested in a series. If a student feels frustrated then a short walk from piano to the other side of the room shaking out the arms and fingers gets us back on track. Read More
