Instruments: Piano
Teaching begins by building rapportunderstanding each students passions and goals. In our first session we talk about what draws them to the piano and set short‐ and longterm objectives. A brief assessment of technique then guides personalized lesson plans that blend technical drills (scales, arpeggios) with engaging repertoire. I adapt lessons for visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learnersusing playful activities for younger students and deeper analysis for older ones. Constructive feedback, self-reflection, and performance opportunities are key to building confidence. Read More
Instruments: Piano
Providing a comfortable, yet focused lesson time while actively pursuing excellence are prime objectives! Each student progresses at a different pace, so lessons are designed according to the strengths and weaknesses of each individual. Personal accomplishment is key to the students motivation, so its important to set maintainable weekly and monthly goals, in addition to performance pieces and recital opportunities. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Recorder Euphonium
I began teaching trumpet privately 44 years ago. Over the years I have added voice, beginning piano, trombone, euphonium,and recorder to my studio. I encourage each student to practice several times a week for as long as they can. I find that some students like to practice in one sitting, whereas others prefer to practice for 10-15 minutes before taking a break and then returning. I convey to each student that working at your craft for 10,000 hours will make you an expert. Read More
Instruments: Piano
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, its important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. This is encouraged by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. And realistic practice time at home. By acknowledging their accomplishments, the students desire to progress grows immensely, making students eager to learn more. Learning what inspires the student allows me to give them a customized piano session that fits their wants and needs Read More

I graduated in 2014 from Indiana University with a Master of Music in Piano Performance. I have over 10 years of teaching experience at both the precollege and college level. My passion for music lies in both teaching and performing. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Oboe English Horn

Instruments: Piano
I began teaching private lessons about two and a half years ago, in the Cincinnati, Ohio area. I had students there that ranged in age from five to fifty, and it was such a joy to watch them grow! I am comfortable teaching students of all levels and ages, no one is ever too young or too old to learn an instrument in my opinion. It is very important to me to have parents involved in the learning process, whether that be through observation of lessons or helping out with practice throughout the week. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Yes, the Suzuki method is basically the most successful, however, my own personal style of learning by example and listening helps so much. The basic cord books and my own flash cards with recorded sounds seem to help so much when students practices on their own. I have found that there are so many on line visual aides where a student can watch a teacher/musician play and instruct on guitar. However, for some students, especially beginners, nothing compares with one on one instruction. Later in the student's progress, there are also really fun music books written using basic cords. These books allow beginners to play their favorite songs in learnable simple ways.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Well, a normal practice session is based on a student's needs. However, tuning up first is a must. Following this, we would go over what we worked on last to see if any progress has been made. If they have mastered to some extent the last lesson, then we go on to the next step. Constant encouragement is what I give every lesson. Learning to play can be difficult, so I show patience and have fun. The last thing we would do in a practice is to answer any questions the student would have and see what music the student listens to and is trying to play.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I do not have a music degree. I realize that going to college to study music would be a valuable resource. However, in my many years of playing and performing, I never had a teacher who had a degree and I never played in a band with anyone who had a music degree. I do not in any way mean to belittle higher learning. I have been to college and I have a degree that I am very proud of. My years of experience in teaching and playing my instrument have and will always speak for themselves when it comes to my students and my accomplishments.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream piece to perform has changed as I have grown older. When I started, I wanted to be in a big rock band and play heavy metal music. I still like to play for an audience, but I prefer blues, bluegrass, and slide guitar in front of small audiences. However playing for my grandkids is so fun and gives me so much satisfaction. My how we change as performers and musicians with age.
