I like to teach to the interests and ability levels of my students. I believe in keeping lessons light and fun, while maintaining a strong emphasis on guiding my students toward becoming musically literate. A typical lesson for a younger student may include board games and coloring pages in addition to traditional "on instrument" time. I also strive to integrate technology in to my lessons, whether by using iOS apps as teaching supplements, or by monitoring home practice through a "flipped" classroom approach. Read More

I am a voice, piano, and guitar teacher. I prefer to teach in an easygoing, but precise manner and try to adapt to all my students needs.

Along with the act of teaching and the enjoyment of music, Im a huge fan of tasty food, learning new things, and exploring the world around me. Read More

My students can expect to have a tailored curriculum based on age, experience, and style preferences. I am proud to say that I am trained in both Traditional and Suzuki methods, which is an advantage when working with a wide range of pupils. I often alternate between these methods, based on what the student preference. I often start beginner students on sight-reading which involves picking up the song by ear before moving on to more complex pieces. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
For beginning students I use different method books and supplemental resources depending on the instrument being taught. It is important to discover each student's interests and am always searching for creative ways to keep the student engaged and fun, no matter the ability level. Together with the following method books, I create worksheets and use computer games to make llearning more enjoyable. Bastien piano courses; Hal Lenoard piano; Snell piano method; Read More

I'm a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music. In 2007, I graduated from the University of Central Arkansas with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Piano/Trombone Performance. Performing all over the world has been one of the greater experiences of my life as a musician, and I've had the opportunity to play in Hollywood on American Idol, Hong Kong, Costa Rica, United Kingdom, Bahamas, Puerto Rico with the former lead singer from Journey, and many other places around the United States.

Instruments: Piano
Times have changed since I began on the piano over fifty years ago. I believe the learning process should be engaging and fun and not the rote practice assignments I had to endure. I believe students should gain a limited orientation to the world of music to identify current artists, genres, and the structures of musical styles popular today. This is accomplished by introducing a play list for listening and learning. Read More

I'm an independent and hard working woman who loves music and working with students. I graduated from San Diego State University with a desire to work with children, and at some point my path led me a different way. I had the opportunity to meet Michael Cavanaugh and was shown how much music influenced my life. I kept in touch with him recently, which was the one thing that motivated me to get back into teaching. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I can write classical, children's musicals, contemporary music, and perform . I can also play for choirs and teach as a music director. I'm grateful for my parent's supporting me in lessons growing up.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
yes i had one child make the regional for voice in Las Vegas and she won.
I have had many students be main or lead characters in musicals.
I have had students go to college and get their music education in performance or education
I have had students play elite clubs because of their love for music
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
learning to be patient and discipline. It takes time to learn, but in every step learning a instrument is a great achievement. Every student can look back 6 months or a year and say I wasn't able to do this, but now I can. They need to look at their achievement Sometimes we busy and struggle or maybe even lose interest, but music is a life time gift. Sports are amazing, but most people won't be playing soccer in later life, but they can play an instrument their whole lives even a elderly lady 101 years old was playing so beautifully..
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Bastien love the chords
Alfred for little ones their way of teaching music is great for little ones. It is so much fun and builds confidence
Faber their creativity and able to teach children more concepts of dynamics.
When will I start to see results?
you will see it right away. They will be playing small songs, but they are learning, coordination, reading music, value of music, fundamental music
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
mrs. cooper She was patient and creative.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
my parents chose the piano but so glad they did and i chose to take voice later
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
If you practice you will understand and move more quickly. Just like homework if you do you will understand. If you don't practice you are still learning, but it will take longer to achieve.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Can your child count and know 1-5? Are they able to understand 1-5? Do they know alphabet? They do not need to be able to read to teach, but should be able to handle and listening directions. They need to be able to sit still for about 20 minutes and listen. Online lesson a caregiver or parent is very helpful and it works wonderful. I have work books to help the child stay interested. With voice does the child love to sing? It will build up her confidence and her ability. I teach students that have been doing amazing in thatre arts and also in school because they take choir.
