My teaching experience dates back to even before my college days. I began to teach both in private lessons and institutions to various age groups. I was teaching during my undergrad and grad studies, and now I am a full-time teacher. I do teach both classical and Jazz. I am specialized in Jazz, but I have a very strong classical background (I studied classical piano during my undergrad even though my major was jazz). Read More

I have an extensive list of teaching experiences in public schools and communities in Indiana such as the Boys and Girls Club and Middle Way House of Bloomington, and Bloomington public schools. I have taken methods classes on teaching band and string instruments. I have specialization in teaching clarinet and voice, as I have taken specific pedagogy courses designed on the very detailed approaches of teaching these two crafts. I have experience giving clarinet lessons to my peers in my methods classes as well as piano lessons to a first grade beginning student. Read More

As a teacher I tailor lessons to my students. I find that some students are motivated by learning challenge, and others are energized by fun elements. I pay attention to the needs of my students and make sure they feel proud of their accomplishments and progress. I use techniques and tricks to help singers not only learn how to use their instrument to their highest potential, but to feel comfortable with their strengths and insecurities. Read More

My methods are pretty straight forward. I focus heavily on technique. A good foundation can help a student be their best in each genre.

I also teach you how to be a healthy musician and steer students away from bad techniques that can cause damage or harm them in any way. Read More

I am currently attending the Hartt School at University of Hartford pursuing my masters in piano pedagogy. I have been teaching piano for the past three years and absolutely love working with students of all ages and levels. I have had the opportunity to perform multiple times with the University of Central Florida orchestra, as well as in solo, chamber and New Music Ensemble settings. I have been lucky to be influenced by many great music teachers throughout my childhood and know the importance of fostering an interest and a safe place for students to express themselves through music.

Instruments: Piano Drums

My methods vary. For piano, we start with simple technique exercises to make sure a student is making every note count. For younger students- like 6 and under- we'll nickname everything to make it easier. An example- the fingers should always be curled when playing piano, not flat. There should be enough space under their palm to hold hold a golf ball, so when they are playing with flat hands, I'll say 'golf ball' to remind them of the correct way, instead of being 'that mean old lady' type.
