Instruments: Piano Voice Music
I base my teaching methods on the student I am teaching. For students that are children at a beginner level, I typically begin with the essential elements of creating vocal foundation which I draw from many sources. Once we have set a good foundation, we tend to begin working on repertoire that is appropriate for the level at which they are singing, using those songs as learning opportunities. For adults, I begin by asking about the goals of the individual student and I then formulate a strategy to help the student reach their specific singing goals. Read More
Instruments: Piano Cello
I began teaching cello in the year 2007 as a way to help my high school orchestra teacher. From there I began to teach privately during my undergrad from 2008 and through my master's degree until present day. Currently I teach mainly through the Oklahoma Conservatory of Music. The age range that I am most experienced with is late elementary school and up. I have had student win solo competitions and place first chair in regional youth orchestral auditions. Read More

Music is a language! I teach music in a similar manner as we learn to speak. We learn to speak through trial and error having no wrong words and music should be taught in a similar fashion, where there are no wrong notes. We learn our speaking style, manner and/or accents by what we hear and this concept also applies to music; therefore listening is a crucial part for advancement and the pleasure of learning.

Throughout my music teaching career, I have enjoyed watching students progress on their instruments in both proficiency and their love of playing. I enjoy watching their weekly improvement on both the solo and ensemble level and encourage them to perform often in a variety of settings to build their confidence in public performance whether that be as members of school bands and ensembles or in public recitals showcasing their progress to both parents and friends Read More

I am a compassionate instructor and am excited to share my love of music with my students. My philosophy is that the student comes first and the music comes second. I attended Oklahoma City University pursuing a Bachelor of Arts degree in Musical Theatre. After leaving OCU I studied further voice lessons from Michael Crowley, a former member of the company at the Metropolitan Opera. I have played piano since I was 5 years old. Read More

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
They're ready.
Music is another language and expands the creative part of the mind by exploring new things and new ideas. Especially if your child has a lot of energy, we can channel that energy into something positive and wholesome.
I hear way too often from people "Man, I wish I would've sticked with it" or "I wish I knew how to play an instrument." Well this your opportunity to give your child that extra advantage in the world and understand a language that everyone around the world understands.
When will I start to see results?
It depends on how often the student practices.
Generally, if you were to practice everyday for an hour..you would probably see tremendous results within two weeks.
It's like any practice. If you go to the gym once a week, how are you gonna expect any results. But if you eat right, work out 4-5 times out of the week, I'm sure you'll see results a lot sooner.
Going into the practice session with a positive, relaxed mindset always helps too. At the end of the day, it's just music..it's supposed to be fun and enjoyable.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
When I was 14-years-old, I went to a summer camp in Michigan known as the Interlochen Fine Arts Camp. I was fortunate enough to make the jazz band as a drummer and one day, this man came into class and was teaching me how to play the "Sing, Sing, Sing" rhythm on the floor tom. The amount of sound and clarity he had while demonstrating this to me blew me away and was truly inspiring.
Little did I know that the man who was teaching me that rhythm was world renowned drummer Peter Erskine, the drummer for Weather Report.
It was at that moment I realized that maybe I outta stick with this music thing.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Slow and with a metronome.
It also depends on the music. Thinking about the other players parts help too so you're not playing so loud and playing with a nice, balanced tone.
Listening to recordings also help too. If you go on YouTube and find a professional muscian (preferably not a high school or college student) but a video that's had a ton of views and a lot of good feedback would help.
Clearing out all distractions will help too. Putting your phone on airplane mode and dedicating a full hour or two to your practice will put you in a good headspace.
Always end on a good note in the practice session. End on something were you feel like you've accomplished something because if not, you're not going to want to practice and we don't want that.
