Instruments: Piano Voice
I will also help a student with any outside pieces for school or the community. Piano Lessons: For beginning students who are very young, I start with Bastien Piano Basics or Hal Leonard Essential Elements. For adults/teens, I use the KJOS Bastien book for adults or the upper level books by Hal Leonard. I also have my students play popular pieces or holiday pieces of their choosing in addition to their classical repertoire. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet
The student who speaks or plays their instrument more also practices and learns more. Students need opportunity to play along with more experience performers and I seek out every chance to insert my students into this role. I have secured opportunities for students to be the opening act for Texas country star Jolie Holiday. Recently my high school vocal student was the youngest semi-finalist in the OK City Stars competition. Read More
Instruments: Piano Cello
I base my teaching out of the Schroeder Violoncello Methods for all ages along with the Schroeder 170 cello studes. Along with that I pick pieces that the student will find enjoyable as a means to keep them encouraged. Usually I introduce traditional classical repertoire at the beginning of their second year as the student is usually more comfortable with the instrument at that point. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
The classical repertoire will reinforce the technique and specific lessons covered. The other pieces should also reinforce specific concepts and skills, but should be music the student enjoys. I strive to keep the lessons and the practice time engaging and rewarding. I cannot stress enough that music is a talent, and just as importantly a skill that anyone can develop. Like anything worthwhile that will last a lifetime, it is not developed over night. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Recorder Euphonium French Horn
As long as a student truly wants to learn and excel on their instrument, I believe I can help him or her achieve that goal. Their goal becomes my goal and it gives me great satisfaction to help them gain the musical and instrumental skills they need to reach their goal, whatever that may be. I consider myself a patient and nurturing teacher who will try various teaching pedagogies to help a student learn the skills necessary to be successful in their instrumental music education.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I think effective practice looks different for every person, but one of the best things I have found is beginning a practice session with a specific and measurable goal.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child is passionate about singing, they are ready to start lessons! A passionate student is an excellent student, it does not matter what age they are.
When will I start to see results?
To me, singing is like any other skill. The more practice you invest into your singing voice, the quicker you will see results. In my studio, I like to take time to celebrate every success we have.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
All of my voice teachers have been such an inspiration to me because they are passionate about music. Music has always been something that has helped me feel more connected to the world, and I learned that from every voice teacher I have worked with.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose singing as my primary instrument because I think there is something so amazing about your body being your instrument. You carry your voice with you wherever you go, using the same voice to speak and to sing; there is something so special about creating music with it.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Anything that I put a lot of time, energy, and passion into. I am most proud of completing my Bachelor of Music degree. I am proud of completing my senior recital in which I sang an hour of music in four languages. I am proud of winning nationals for Music Theatre singing at the age of 16. Every achievement was made possible because I had mentors with me the whole way, and because I invested my time and energy.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I try not to urge my students to compete for awards unless that is part of their singing goal. For this reason, I have not had many students achieve special awards or honors, but I did help one of my students to audition and be accepted into a university music program.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Singing can be really difficult because there are so many things to think about, but it is crucial not to over think while you're singing or you lose the freedom you need to make art. Finding that balance can be difficult.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I consult many different sources and methods for singing. I use Hal Leonard materials, and various materials and methods that I learned in my Vocal Pedagogy class in college. I also am a part of voice teacher forums so I can consult trusted collogues about my approach with my students.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
For me personally, I make sure that I go into my practice sessions with an attainable goal. Change doesn't happen within an hour of practicing, it's about consistency. If you approach your practice intentionally, you will see results.
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 a Bachelors in Music from Oklahoma City University in Vocal Performance. I chose that degree because I love to sing and I love to understand the moving parts of singing.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I have a really intense love for Opera. I would love to sing the role of Violetta in La Traviata by Verdi. Probably not until I am a bit older, though!
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I was not a musician I think I would still need to be working in a place with exposure to music. I could be working as a waitress as long as I got to listen to live music.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love every genre of music for different reasons. Lately I have been really into listening to and singing Jazz music. It just makes me feel so happy.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I began to play piano in middles school, but I quit because I did not want to practice. I picked it back up in college with my required piano classes, but I am really glad I did because playing the piano while I sing is a wonderful feeling.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My family loves music. My parents would always listen to a huge variety of music with myself and my siblings in the car. My sister is a dancer and sang a bit herself. One of my brothers is an awarded saxophonist, and my other brother is a high achieving Trumpet player.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I think for me it was a gradual decision. I began voice lessons at the age of 9 and all I knew was that I loved to sing. Over time, going to music school and performing/teaching voice professionally seemed like it was the only option that excited me.
