I normally create a lesson plan that develop the student skills yet keep them interested in wanting to learn more about music not just a whole lot of theory. I also believe, the best way is hands on work. (Practical learning) I keep the lesson interesting and the syllabus simple for learn whatever it is I'm teaching with homework for practice. I enjoy creating lesson plans that I read from other books and use the books to help demonstrate and support the lesson I'm teaching. and to follow the guidelines for teaching. Read More
Instruments: Piano
The more a student feels like he/she has accomplished, the more patience and dedication the student acquires. After a student has established that piano is fun/rewarding, I like to slowly incorporate the study of music theory. With music theory a student can begin to codify and understand where these sounds come from. This greater understanding and insight empowers the student to play more musically, or creatively--whether in performing notes written, or improvisationally/compositionally. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
My teaching experience started with helping my friends in high school learn piano in the high school piano class. I already had experience and was assigned the role of tutoring my friends. After starting college, I took on a couple of private lessons with beginning students. I graduated from college and started teaching general music at the elementary school level. During my teaching, Ive gained skills of working with children of all ages. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums
I have loved music from a very early age and I have been fortunate to study a variety of instruments and musical styles. I grew up studying the drums, piano, guitar, voice, and songwriting. I have been in a cover bands, original bands, jazz bands, choirs, a country band, a steel drum band, marching band, opera, a pop orchestra, a hip hop ensemble, and musical theatre productions. In college I took my studies further by learning music theory and aural skills while still performing in ensembles and writing lots of music. Read More

My methods depend on my students' ages, experience, and instruments. I incorporate books from Full Voice, Suzuki, Schradiek, Piano Pronto, Bastien, and more! I ensure that my students are getting the essential education that will help them grow and succeed as a musician. In addition to teaching exercises, technic, warmups, scales, chords, arpeggios (and more), I also ensure that students are applying these things to pieces that are important to learn through lesson books and with songs that my students want to learn.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
go over everything the teacher assigns, 3-4 times, daily. if that takes 10mins great! if it takes longer give the student less.
When learning a new element, initially, the brain is highly activated and performs synapses and usually can perform a3-4 more synapses. This is when learning and memory take place. When you go over it again in sequence, the brain is engaged, but if repeated too many times as in telling the student, "you must practice for .......minutes," the brain stops the synapses and the student may at that time be developing mistakes in the piece.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Typically, the student will express some type of interest in music. Oftentimes, the mother's intuition is correct.
The child will sing a lot, or if an instrument is available, they will play it often and at random times. Music in a public place may catch their attention. I've had a few students that the parents observed their child tapping their fingers.
Sometimes the child will exhibit traits that indicate a high intelligence yet communication skills are inadequate
They may draw a lot
They may exhibit bi-lateral difficulties, meaning the left-hand tries to perform right-hand commands
When will I start to see results?
All children learn differently, especially a child gifted in music. Some learn quickly and progress rapidly initially, some take much longer to learn and master new concepts and then apply that concept to another domain in the brain. A slower learning child does not mean that the child cannot get it. The teacher needs to be aware that the many many different aspects and elements of music are developed and established in many many different regions of the brain. each must be step-by-step developed and established. Then that information is transferred to the motor-sensory regions where everything is integrated.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had several uninspiring teachers and only one that inspired me to develop the depth of God-given talent in me. The un-inspiring teachers were critical and negative and we studied mediocre music. I have perfect pitch si i could read music but played everything "by ear". I was completely unaware that I was not reading the music score! I learned by listening and watching my teacher's hands. That was my first clue that one method of instruction fits all. It was my first step on learning about the brain and music.
