Instruments: Piano Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion
I have been fortunate to learn more than I ever thought I could by this point in my life, but I am still eager to learn more, and I strongly believe that giving my students the chance to teach back what they learn helps them understand information and skills significantly better than they would otherwise, boosts self-confidence, encourages independent study, and ultimately helps them retain what they have learned better than many other approaches.

Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I have dedicated my entire life to learning and teaching the piano. I have 22 years of playing experience and over 10 years of teaching experience. I love working with students of all ages and sharing my passion for music. I consider it a privilege to be able to pass down this skill and I don’t take the responsibility lightly. My lessons revolve around not just learning the instrument, but making sure this is a fun experience for my students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet
I always try to encourage students to see the small victories in playing music; regardless of how significant or noticeable an achievement is. Many students get down on themselves because they can't play something or they make a mistake. This is a deficit mindset that stunts growth long term. When I first teach a student I want them to set a short term goal between each lesson and one long term goal that spans from a month to a year. Read More

For beginning students, I typically start with Hal Leanord's Essential Elements. Once the student has a grasp of their instrment and the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire and tecnique exercises. I will try to find out what the student is interested in to help guide my instruction and keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter the age or ability level. Read More

I teach lessons to any grade/age group. I have an extremely open mind to teaching and music in general, so nothing goes out the door in terms of philosophy, however, I've come to realize that some methods work better than others. That said, I tailor my attention and focus as an educator to the needs of student I'm teaching in front of me. I don't consider the student who just walked out of the lesson or the student who is coming in next. Read More
Instruments: Piano
For my beginner students who are children I typically start out with either Hal Leonard or Fabre lesson books to learn all the very important foundational keys in music. As I notice they are grasping the concepts and able to apply them I then like to find outside resources such as sheet music, classical, pop to allow them to enjoy and discover what they love most. When it comes to my beginner adult students I usually start them off in the Fabre adult beginner book. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Drums Keyboard
I teach both by rote and by reading. When it comes to music theory, notation and reading music, I am also methodical in wanting my students to fully understand what they're reading so that it becomes so natural to them, it's as natural as reading a newspaper or understanding a conversation. Once the foundation is laid, a musical conversation can be had with the sound of their instrument. At the end of the process, students will find their love of music enhanced now that they know what they are doing and are doing it on purpose. Read More
Instruments: Piano
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I weren't a musician I do not know what I would want to do. That was what I was struggling with when senior year of high school and after I graduated. I was taking general education courses for a few years before taking piano and voice lesson and decided on a music career.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
This is a difficult question because I do not really prefer on style/genre over the other. I love to play the various style and genres of music because it diversifies the repertoire. I do enjoy playing some popular songs or movie/tv themes. I definitely have a newfound appreciation for classical when I started college. I did not really like classical music growing up because I thought it was all boring and sounded the same. I have not really played a lot of jazz music so that would be an interesting genre of music to start playing.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
Piano is my primary instrument that I play and want to teach. In college I decided to try a group guitar class because I wanted to learn to play more instruments. My mom had an old guitar that I could use. Being with many other students and not getting enough individual help in the class, I didn't pick it up as easily as I did piano. I also take voice lessons along with piano. If I had to pick another instrument to play now, I would want to learn violin inspired by the violinist Lindsey Stirling.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I am really the only one of my siblings that stuck with music. One of my brother started piano when he was younger, but was not interested like I was. My other brother played violin and piano and he even wrote some music too.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
When I was seven I wanted to play the piano because my brother was taking lessons. My brother stopped after a while, but I continued for several years performing for school recitals and church. Along with music classes I developed a love and talent for music. During junior high, there were many teachers leaving. Because there were other extracurricular activities I was involved in, I stopped playing the piano in high school. After graduating high school was when I decided to become a professional musician. I didn't really remember being good at or wanting to do anything else in school other than playing piano.
