Instruments:
My method is very flexible and student specific. Everyone learns slightly differently and has their own unique strengths. In general, I have a "sound before sight" method. Students learn music thoroughly, aurally and theoretically before trying to read it off the page. Imagine trying to learn a language by being handed a book. We then use your innate understanding of the music to inform your technique and the way you approach the instrument. I often use the Suzuki books for repertoire, though I'm not a Suzuki practitioner. I find they have a logical progression of pieces and are easy to get your hands on. I use a variety of etude books, completely dependent on the level of the student, their specific difficulties and their instrument.
Instruments:
I am an enthusiastic and dedicated teacher, and I love sharing my love of music with my students. I earned my Bachelor of Music degree in Vocal Performance from Indiana University and a Master of Music in Vocal Performance from Brigham Young University. I enjoy singing onstage and have performed the role of Susanna in Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro as well as numerous scene programs. I have participated in Dolora Zajick's Institute for Young Dramatic Voices, Chicago Summer Opera, and the Sherrill Milnes VoicExperience Program at the Savannah Voice Festival.
Instruments:
I have been teaching music in public schools and privately for over 30 years. I have taught successfully almost every instrument , both in large groups and individualized instruction. Piano/ keyboard is my specialty. I can also teach guitar, drums and trumpet. Although I have a classical background, my element is popular genres. I can teach beginners to achieve success almost immediately and teach advanced students to reach their full potential. I can also teach little tricks that your old music teacher forgot to show you!
Instruments:
Lesson materials vary from student to student, as I like to tailor these to each student's specific needs and abilities. For both childen and adults, playing preferred material is always very motivating, so I try to incorporate their preferences as much as possible!
Instruments:
I approach teaching music with patience and enthusiasm. I realize that there is an ebb and flow in every person's life and progress cannot be measured in an even intervals. Although I am pleased at a student progress, humanity is vast and always surprising me. Each of us are indeed unique and revered. Even as we learn we can enjoy all the leaps and bumps along the way. As with any teaching method, consistency is attendance breeds the best learning environment. And one thing I tell young learners is that they should never practice. Practice implies work. I want them to play their instruments as a reward for finishing homework for example.
