My teaching experience teaching private lessons dates back about 10 years. Before private lessons, I taught voice and piano to people of all ages in church. I believe that practicing consistently will produce the greatest results and always encourage my students to do so. Practice is not just about playing scales and chords, or singing warm-ups and Arias, but it is an opportunity to learn more about yourself and your instrument. Read More

It is very rewarding when I see students develop a passion for music! I believe it is important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. In each lesson, I set realistic goals for each student. I help fuel students desire to progress and allow students to be eager to learn more by acknowledging their accomplishments. I give each student the room to express his or herself freely. Read More

Cherny. Additionally, I include exercises at the intermediate skill level for mastering improvisation, playing with elements of jazz, and playing by ear and we learn popular children's songs.
