Instruments: Piano
I am a lover of music that has always enjoyed sharing it with others. I have been involved in musical activities all through since grade school. I graduated with a Master of Music Arts with a specialty in teaching from Texas Woman's University so I could better share my love of music. I have also been in one choir or another over the years. I sang with the Denton Community Chorus, Nairobi Concert Choir and had the privilege of performing at Carnegie Hall in New York City with the Texas Woman's University Concert Choir. Read More

Over the course of my career, I have refined his teaching methods to become very effective at taking complex information and breaking it up into simple steps. This approach has allowed me to achieve a high record of success in learning and performing music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trombone Ukulele Recorder Euphonium Tuba
For beginner students who are children, I usually start with the Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has advanced to where I can see that they have a good grasp of the fundamentals of the instrument, that is typically when I begin to introduce solo repertoire and supplement with my own material. For adult beginners, I typically will try and use the Essential Elements book to start with but not for very long. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Cello Bass Guitar Keyboard
As I have previously stated, I tailor my lessons to each individual student in order to maximize their learning potential. Yes, I do usually assign one piece that will be good for them to learn even if it is not their favorite song to play, but the rest of the time I make sure that it is music they are going to enjoy. If a student loves Disney songs, then you can bet that's going to be an assignment. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums
I am a native of Fort Worth, TX. I began playing and singing at the age of 11. I participated in music during school from elementary to college. My accomplishments include placing first place in solo and ensemble, marching band contest, jazz band contest, etc. I have also established my own band and group who performs in the DFW metroplex. I have played in church since I was 12 years old. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
Hello! My name is Emily and I am a new voice and piano teacher located in Mansfield, Texas. I just recently moved in August, 2019 from the Chicago Suburbs, where I have been singing and teaching music since 2007. Monday through Thursday I am currently teaching private voice lessons at Haltom High School during the school day. I specialize in teaching beginning to intermediate piano lessons (starting at age 3) and classical and musical theatre voice lessons (starting at age 10). Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute Piccolo
I have had a passion for both music and education for as long as I can remember, and private lesson instruction has been the best way for me to put those to use. I have almost 20 years of experience on the flute, including a bachelor's degree in Flute Performance from Olivet Nazarene University and a master's in music theory from the University of North Texas. In that time, I was given many leadership opportunities including flute choir president and marching band head drum major, allowing me to begin to hone my skills as an educator. Read More

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
It was a gradual decision. Opportunities began to present themselves and guess who was prepared and ready? However it took me years to actually improve my craft and even then I did not consider myself a professional. I had other vocations that I focused on but continued to study music as well as always had music projects. The opportunities never ceased and I challenged myself to meet every opportunity. Then in 2011, already currently playing for my church, I was offered a job teaching piano in the Arlington, Texas school district and an associated daycare chain. The rest is history.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes. Both of my brothers are musicians. My oldest can play any instrument, at any time, with anyone. My youngest plays trumpet, tuba and french horn and his wife sings. He has been a part of his church orchestra for more than 20 years and the guest musician for many concerts, special programs, weedings and funerals. In addition, I have taught all 6 of my grandchildren to play piano, ages ranging from 4 to 13. They travel, sing and play and perform as a choir and puppetry group as well as play for our Church services. In addition I have many uncles, cousins and aunts who sing and play.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I have been a musician since the first day that my Dad put that keyboard in my hands at age 7. I have had many vocations and music played a very big part in all of them. In Nursing I did Music Therapy. In Paramedics I used it to distract patients during difficult and painful Procedures and circumstances. In teaching Medical and Business Courses I used it as memory enhancers and techniques. With Children music has always been a big part of curriculum, music therapy and many techniques as well as graduations, programs, performances etc. Now, my primary profession is music though i continue to tutor in reading, math and typing concurrently as well. If I decide to do anything else here in my later life, and I do not foresee doing so, you bet music will be right there.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I have a variety of methods, drills, exercises, games and activities from all of the above and more. I also have my own original methods that I utilize also. However, when I teach, there is no one method fits all. I tailor my teaching to the needs and dreams of the student. That means that I use a variety and I have a flexible but thorough approach that keeps lessons moving toward the dream but filling in the gaps and being a well-rounded program.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My 2 loves are classical and gospel. When I took lessons I was classically trained and had impeccable sight reading ability. This made me excellent at Playing for others and myself as long as I had the music in front of me. But much of my musical experience has also been in churches, for choirs, soloists and a variety of services and programs. There is a big difference and you truly can be a master at one without any knowledge of the other. In the beginning of my life I did not understand this and I was not a very good gospel or jazz musician until I devoted time and additional study in chords, improvising, transposing and ear training. I also devoted time to studying blues and jazz which are implemented so much in contemporary christian and gospel music.
