Instruments: Piano
I'm an English Teacher with a passion for music and education. I've been playing the piano for 17 years and I know the joy that comes from the ability to play beautiful music. I want to share that joy with others! I taught piano in High School and after college for a while and I absolutely enjoyed the experience of teaching a skill that is being taught less and less often.

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone
As a teacher,I teach based on a students needs. Teaching methods are developed according to the weak areas in where a student needs to improve. Once i observed the problem a method is then developed. I can used methods from teaching books or create my own method. All methods are not the same for individual students. Observation is the key to a successful method. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, its important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments help fuel the students 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
Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Saxophone Clarinet Recorder Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
My passion is teaching. It's my profession, as well as my hobby (I am a Volunteer Sunday School Teacher). My main goal in music lessons is to make the experience enjoyable for the student -- I'm not very strict when it comes to progress. In my opinion, a student should genuinely enjoy playing their instrument because progress inevitably follows. I love to do risk-free trials because the student and the teacher need to have a certain rapport for the lessons to be fully effective. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Cello Viola Drums Bass Guitar
I adjust my teaching based on the particular student. For adults I take the lessons in whatever direction they like. Subjects covered are more often than not dictated by the student's interest. For children I do take their interests into account but also guide them towards getting better at their instrument. Reading music is an important thing for all my students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Cello Viola Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Clarinet Bass Guitar Synthesizer French Horn
At this point in time I've been blessed with the opportunities to teach in both private one-on-one tutoring settings as well as with large groups of children through volunteering, student teaching and substitute teaching. It was through the summation of these experiences that I predicted- and have ultimately discovered- that I love being a music educator. The height of what fulfills me about being a music educator is the essence of the work: Exploration and nurturing for both the student and the teacher. Read More

I love treating each student as they are. Every student is their own unique artist and my job is to help shape them and to give them confidence in their vision. I view my job as a tour guide pointing the students in the right directions while not restricting to any particular instrument/genre. Book work, ear training/playing to tunes, improv, technical focus are all aspects of how I teach. Read More

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
My parents put me into violin and piano lessons when I was 4, so I started very young. A musical education was always a necessary part of my life per what my parents believed, and as I have grown older and made this a career, I value this greatly. When I started doing musical theatre, I realized how much I loved to sing and that this was what I needed to do with my life. As an adult, I added the ukulele into my skills in order to accompany myself when a piano either isn't available or when I am traveling and need a small instrument to take with.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I was probably 12 when I decided to become a professional musician. I auditioned for my first musical theatre show: Cinderella Goes to the Hop. I was cast as a step-sister. I completely fell in love with music and theatre due to this show, and I haven't looked back!
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes! All of my closest relatives are either professional musicians or have incorporated playing a musical instrument into their lives! My dad and his siblings grew up playing instruments and are all professional musicians now as well as their children!
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I have no clue! I have always done music and theatre. Life would feel incomplete without it. I have a few other passions such as photography and traveling, but I love those as hobbies. Once upon a time, I wanted to be a lawyer. Maybe I would have become a music industry lawyer!
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
This depends on my mood. There are periods of time when I only want to work on my musical theatre rep and times when I only want to work on pop music. I love such a variety of music!
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have always been super passionate about Musical Theatre. I did shows in middle school and high school. Life felt truly special when on the stage playing different characters, so I decided to be a Musical Theatre major in college. After a few semesters, I realized that I wanted to add more music education to my degree, so I added Music (Vocal Performance) as a second major.
When will I start to see results?
This can vary on a few things. How many days a week are you practicing? How long are you practicing per session? Are you practicing effectively, or just running through your materials once? What is your age? Have you had any prior musical background before beginning this instrument? What is your learning style? Lots of things can factor into when you will see results. Every person is different, so there is no set timeline. However, you are in total control in your progress speed.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I'm extremely proud of being able to perform at Lollapalooza with Bishop Briggs. This moment was so surreal that it's still hard to believe it. In 2022, I performed at McDonald's WWC with Musicality, and P!nk opened for us on one of the days. We had no idea this would be happening until we were waiting for the curtains to reveal us. Such an amazing and exciting experience!
