Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard Djembe
I began taking piano lessons at age 8, competed in concerto competitions in high school, and continued my studies at ASU. As a child, I told myself that I never wanted to become a piano teacher, but a friend in college asked me for lessons, and my love for teaching blossomed from there! I've taught at music academies, group lessons, trio & duo lessons, but I prefer one-on-one lessons. I find that it's important to build a positive rapport with my students, making their experience fun & educational. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
However, I did not stop at just sharing knowledge. One of my students named Recker Eans was interested in playing shows at 6 years old so I taught his parents to manage a social media account for him and to go play out at places such as First Friday on roosevelt row. He quickly gained traction and has now been on Fox News, BBC, and a couple other local news programs. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
I'm a passionate and motivated instructor who has the abilities to "awaken" the musical gifts of students with the desire to achieve a goal of musicianship. I graduated from Grambling State University with a Bachelor of Music Education and a Masters of Music from Jackson State University. I have had the opportunity to play with such symphonies such as the Shreveport Symphony, New Orleans Community Orchestra, Midland/Odessa Symphony, the EAC Symphony and I am now a member of the North Valley Symphony.

Instruments: Piano Voice
I am a passionate performer and teacher of music! I have been singing and playing the piano since I was 9 years old and i have performed in musical theater throughout my community for 20 years. In college I had the privilege of traveling throughout the United States with Brigham Young University's Mountain Strings band as the pianist and supporting vocalist. Since then I have participated in music and theatre throughout my community. Read More
Instruments: Piano
My teaching experience success is supported by my reputation, performance, fun-loving/positive approach establishing sound ground for success. I believe contouring each lesson to support one's learning style is imperative. Owning and operating a piano studio for 30 years, is a compliment to my dedication and passion for teaching. Music has been a huge component of my entire life. I feel sharing my love of music, with an individual that desires to learn, is my privilege. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I am a multiple woodwind performer and an educator with a strong European background in music theory, aural skills, and music history. I hold BM and MM in saxophone performance and recently graduated with my second MM in multiple woodwind performance and pedagogy. I am a very passionate teacher with years of experienced. I also stay active as a performer which I believe is a very important aspect of a good pedagogue. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I absolutely love watching a student who has tried to understand a concept suddenly light up, smile, and say, "Oh, now I get it!" I believe that a teacher should try a variety of ways to help a student understand and "own" their musical knowledge. I set high standards for my students, starting where they are and encourgaing them to go beyond what they think is their personal best. I have students write goal and wish lists down throughout the year, setting small, reachable goals and then larger goals that may take longer to reach. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Go in with reasonable goals. SLOW IT DOWN. Practicing involves a lot of movement pattern development and muscle memory. That can't be accomplished if the passage is being practiced at a tempo beyond where the student is completely comfortable. If a phone is used for a metronome and tuner (both of which should be used at EVERY practice session) the phone should be put into 'airplane mode' to prevent distractions. My overriding philosophy is this- FUNDAMENTALS NEVER STOP BEING COOL. Each practice session should include long tones with the tuner on a drone (tune with your ears, not your eyes) and technique work (scales, scale variants, and etudes ) prior to any repertoire. If time is limited, a slow series of scales prior to repertoire work is what I'd recommend.
When will I start to see results?
It's difficult to always see real results because you as a student are a little too close to the situation. I liken it to weight loss. The little improvements you'll notice at first. After a while, you might not notice them so much but others certainly will. This will continue as long as you study and play the instrument. The better you get, the more the bar is raised. If you get frustrated by a perceived lack of progress you must ask yourself this: Could I do this last year? Last month? It's a journey. Enjoy the victories and learn from the challenges. FAIL simply stands for First Attempt At Learning.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
There are a few things that make me proud. I was the 2016 Concerto Competition winner at my alma mater as well as the performing artist of the year that year. My graduation the following December was a very proud moment. I'm proud to have gotten into a graduate program. I'm proud to have received endorsement deals from two different music companies. Mostly, though, I'm proud of the students I've taught and the relationships I've forged in the saxophone world. I have one particularly proud moment, though. University of Michigan Sax Professor and Grammy winner Timothy McAllister told me that I inspired him with my sound the summer he graduated from high school. That meant a lot.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I've had students make regional and All State honor bands in Tennessee, Mississippi, and Kentucky as well as several University honor bands in the same region. It's a lot of fun to celebrate those accomplishments with my students. However, I'm more proud of those who simply choose to make music a larger part of their lives and continue the instrument after high school. One of my students, a young man who was awarded first chair All State in Mississippi as well as in several university honor bands decided he loved saxophone repair and has become one of the top repair technicians in Colorado and the entire Rocky Mountain area. The fact that I was involved in starting him down the path is very humbling to me.
