Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
My teaching style is extremely student centered. I help my students find the music that they love, and I help them play it musically. I focus on creating a nurturing environment where students can explore, take risks, and ask questions. I meld my content expertise with my ability to read people well and really help them find that path to success that works for THEM. There is no one-size-fits all approach to teaching music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar
Teaching is something I naturally love doing, simply because I see it as an opportunity to share my interest and passion for a particular subject with someone, so that they may develop the same fondness for that subject. I believe the most important role of a teacher is to spark passion and curiosity in his student, hence my goal is to successfully demonstrate to my students why music is so amazing!I have about a year of teaching experience, tutoring high school students.I also have been teaching piano to my roommates and friends during my college, and have successfully hooked many of them to music.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar
After I graduated from Roosevelt University I had more time outside of academics to start a teaching practice. In 2011, I worked at Lynn Marcel School of Fine Arts in Hillside, IL. As a drum instructor I helped design a corruculum plan and taught younger students ages 8-14. In 2013 and 2014, I worked at School of Rock in Oark Park, IL teaching drum set, voice, and piano for students of all age groups. Read More

For my younger students, i would start with the simple lullabies like ABC's and Row Your Boat to get them familiar with the instrument and getting them used to playing what they want to hear. Then we'd move on to Hal Leonard's fundamental books to develop reading skills. For the older students, i'd get an understanding of what their listening to and how they want to play and start to introduce them to essential principles to be the musician they are imagining themselves to be.

Instruments: Piano Clarinet Music Keyboard
I am a composer, songwriter, pianist, clarinetist, and music educator who enjoys teaching students of all ages from a place of truth and empowerment. My goal is to help them break barriers of limitation so they can learn how to play piano or clarinet and write their own music in a safe and relaxed environment. I have a degree in music composition with a concentration in clarinet from Loyola University New Orleans. 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 Guitar Bass Guitar Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it is important that each student progresses at his or her own place. I encourage this by setting goals and assignments for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a student's desire to progress and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
The most important things to remember about practicing are consistency and joy. I treat my instruments like pets, in that they are a part of my life every day and I love them, and the more attention I give them the more they will love me in return. I focus on starting a practice session with something I enjoy and am motivated to learn and then zero in on the weak points of the piece and from that decide what mechanical things I need to practice, like scales or bowing or picking exercise or drum rudiments. My rule of thumb is that 10 min per day of practice means you are not getting worse, and 30 min or more is where you start improving. I also give myself the freedom to jump between different pieces of music as I get tired of one. It's important to enjoy the process of practicing and improving.
When will I start to see results?
It depends on what results you are looking for, and I would say about two weeks of practicing 30 minutes a day is when you will start to see the beginning results. There are good videos on youtube showing the progress you make with consistent practice but ideally, the process will be enjoyable enough that you will understand how each day and each minute of practicing is causing you to improve. At this point, I see results about 10 minutes after I dedicate myself to practicing a single specific thing. Difficult pieces take about two weeks of consistent practice to play well, and it is very rare that you hit the ceiling of how well you can play something. Jaco Pastorius, a famous electric bassist, said that it took him 9 years to learn how to play Donna Lee, a jazz standard that he is very well known for now
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Basically, if the child is interested in lessons they are ready to start lessons. I think we often make the mistake of expecting children to be very disciplined along the lines we want them to be, instead of letting their natural curiosity and playfulness lead their musical journey. I try not to be too hard on kids and make sure we are setting goals they actually want to complete. I was forced to play for many years and very nearly stopped because of it. If a child has a natural affinity for an instrument, I think they can always benefit from instruction, and the stronger their desire to play is, the more progress they will make.
