Instruments: Piano Organ Keyboard
I love teaching students how to read the music. It really makes my day when they can play a piece and enjoy the music. I want them to then go forth and share the joy with others. Usually I play a piece over and over until I get it, then I have a little fun with it.I enjoy teaching music as a substitute teacher. I currently play piano or organ at 3 different congregations.

Instruments: Piano Synthesizer Harmonica Recorder Keyboard
Each student has his profile, so I seek to adapt the methodology of teaching according to the individual needs and personal choices of each student. For beginners looking to learn to read sheet music, I usually adopt the books of Michael Aaron or James Bastien (for small children). For those students who wish to develop their musicality without reading shuffles, I teach through imitation learning, the development of auditory perception and creativity. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Trombone Bass Guitar Double Bass Bassoon Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
My favorite part about teaching is teaching beginners. It's so much fun to introduce a brand new instrument to someone and show them all that learning music has to offer. I mainly focus on the basics of music, and music theory in order to give students the tools they need to teach themselves when I'm not around, or if lessons have to discontinue for some reason. Once the basics of music theory have been grasped, it makes learning the technical aspects of the new instrument much faster, and easier. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I have been playing the piano since I was 7 years old. That's been 45 (yes) I said (45) years ago! I'm old. I'm married and have four adult children. I have a crazy cat named Lady. She rolls around like a dog. I love to crochet, knit and machine embroider and other hand crafts in my free time. I love to read. At this point in time Brandon Sanderson is my favorite author.

Instruments: Piano
One thing I really enjoy about teaching is seeing my students find their love for music. This is why it is important for each student to feel accomplished at each lesson. This can be done by helping the student make and meet realistic goals that helps them see their progress and feel like they are continually moving forward. I always make a point to acknowledge and explain what specific things the students do right. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Drums Bass Guitar Orchestral Percussion Conga Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
My method of teaching is that I always start from the theoretical part of every instrument or skill I teach because if they don’t have the background understanding they will be limited in their performances. I motivate by telling them my story how I started with no instrument I used borrow a two octaves keyboard from a choir member just to learn the piano my self I had no internet and no money so if I was able to learn in that condition they can do better.I teach the secrets of becoming a professional musician or music producer which one of them is consistency.

Instruments: Piano Voice
I love music and I love teaching! I graduated in 2014 with my Bachelor of Music in Music Education from Utah State University and, in 2018, my Master of Music in Choral Conducting from the University of Kansas. I had the opportunity to be a part of the Chamber Singers at both schools where I was able to perform across Utah as well as Dallas, Kansas City, China and Costa Rica. I’ve been part of ensembles on two professional recordings and remain an active performer and director of local groups in Salt Lake County. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I start by warming up with scales, rhythm exercises, and etudes. This helps promote a good foundation for future progression and goals. Afterwards, I focus on where my playing is weaker in a piece of music. I work on it over and over until you can confidently play it without issue. After that, I work on connecting that part I worked on with the rest of the piece of music. Sometimes after a while of this, it is helpful to just sight-read or arbitrarily play another piece of music for fun so my fingers and mind can have more flexibility and a break.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Chaconne, I remember first listening to a recording of it by Jascha Heifetz, it was so powerful and conveyed so well a sense of a story. Perhaps it was also because I have something with minor chords in beginning of compositions. After I learned the story of how Bach came to write that piece of music it gained more depth and beauty to me. While it is a difficult violin solo, I also enjoy a good challenge especially when it is something that means much to me.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started with piano when I was younger and I did enjoy it. My mom did not really get the chance when she was younger so she really wanted me to have that opportunity. Later when I was leaving elementary school I became fascinated with the violin. It was maybe because I wanted to enter orchestra in middle school with my friends or I just really liked the sound. I have to give kudos to my younger self because violin was one powerful way that helped me get through high school and really gave me an appreciation for music in later years.
When will I start to see results?
For me, it is when certain skills are ingrained in my muscle memory to a point I can do it without thinking too hard about it. It is when I have mastery over basic skills and techniques to the point my main focus is less on the building blocks of a piece of music and more on how it connects all together.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My orchestra teacher in high school and my private teacher were both strongly impacted me. They put so much patience and passion in their music and teaching that it was captivating and encouraging. The hard work and faith they had in me helped me progress to the point that I felt so much joy and freedom when I played. It is a legacy from them I wish to keep up.
