Instruments: Piano Cello Drums Conga Latin Percussion Djembe
In addition to having performed on thousands of stages around the world over the last 15 years, I have been teaching private lessons in percussion for the last 10 years. I have experience teaching individual and group lessons, in some cases with groups of over 50 students. In addition to lessons which address the practical concerns involved in beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels of drums, percussion, & cello, I teach lessons in structuring performances (aimed mostly at bands looking to take their live production to the next level), prepping for studio time, tailoring performances to their setting (studio, venues small & large, workshops), and techniques for learning large volumes of material quickly.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Bass Guitar Ukulele Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
My teaching experience started after college, teaching a family friend bass guitar. From there I realized I could just as well teach guitar, piano, and saxophone as well. I find it rewarding to watch people grow and learn skills they can use the rest of their life, enriching their life with the expression of music. From taking private lessons of my own on saxophone and guitar throughout high school and college, I've learned that consistency of practice is key! Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute
I played music all my life. I began to play the flute at the age of 9 years old and the piano at around 12. I graduated from Washington Adventist University with a degree in music performance. I have performed with the New England Symphonic Ensemble in various countries all over the world including England, Thailand, Greece, Italy, Mexico, Jamaica, Caymen Islands and South Africa. I have performed with the Mid America productions concert series in Carnegie Hall, New York. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Trumpet Saxophone Flute Clarinet Bass Guitar Keyboard Electric Guitar
My teaching style is very analytical yet engaging! I try to establish a good relationship before pushing a student. At that point I will ask the student to play to the best of his/her ability. I teach in a style that helps children isolate problem areas, so that they can practice specific excerpts they are struggling with. I also do a lot of ear training and music theory to ensure that students are obtaining well-rounded musical skills. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Djembe
My teaching experience dates back to the beginning of high school. Though it wasn't music education, I am very much use to private teaching. I started my education career at "Kumon of Bowie Math and Reading Center," a tutoring center created to emphasis one-on-one assistance for students in need. After working there for five years, I pursued my undergraduate education until Spring 2017. During college, I also worked as an ear training mentor. Read More
Instruments: Piano
As I said above, I am a very experienced teacher. I have a nice nature and believe that students should love the music and I do my best to make them love the music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Cello Music Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
My teaching experience dates back to high school when I started teaching cello to students in my school district's orchestra program. Since then, I have continued to teach freelance through personal connections, Musika, and various non-profit organizations. Furthermore, I am currently in my internship to become a board certified music therapist, and have experience teaching music to individuals with intellectual disabilities, developmental disabilities, and dementia/Alzheimer's. I challenge my students to reach their potential while making sure they have the room to thrive in a safe and fun environment. Read More
Instruments: Piano
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I'm proud of receiving a music award before my graduation and for having the opportunity to play for the senior prong in high school. I'm proud for the opportunity that I had in playing for both the school and the church choir and for playing for the two dance schools. What I'm most proud of is help bringing the talent out of my students so that they can bring joy to their families and those around them. I'm grateful for their love for music and for their hard work. My life has been bless through my students.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Not at this point. Most of my students are still in school. One of my students has started taking violin this year. Her teacher was impressed what she already know and move her up to advance. My older students started late in life. They range from their 50's through their 70's.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
My instructor kept after me on this one thing. He said, "Read your Notes Sandra". I had a bad habit of memorizing and picking things up by ear. It also took me a little longer to learn my classical music.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I mainly use the Alfred Series. I looked at the different materials and it seems like the Alfred Series is more detail and has some excellent tunes for the kids to learn.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
The practice session would mainly be studying and working through the assignments. The assignments would not be too lengthy but would be at the pace the student can learn. The lesson would be cater to them.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have no degree, but a lot of experience. My instructor taught me a wide range of music which included improvising, ear training, sight reading, chord structure and dynamics. He taught me to compose as well as to read what's written. He was the one who got me my first job at the dance school when I was just in High School.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
The Holy City is my favorite piece. The music is beautiful and the words are inspiring. My other favorite selection is O Holy Night. Both of these selections tell of Christ and that is why they are my favorite songs.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would probably just be working in the office doing clerical work.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Spiritual and Rock music is my favorite style/genre of music. The reason is because they are uplifting and I enjoy playing them. Classical music is my other favorite style of music. I feel a deep respect for the great artists who compose them. Last of all, Country Music is another one of my favorite styles of music. When I play Country Roads, I feel a part of nature and this beautiful world that we live in.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I learned Organ, because at the time, an organist was needed at my church; however, my specialty is piano.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Aunt Jean, my mother's sister was the organist and soloist for her church. My grandfather on my mother's side played violin when the folks square dance. He was known as the best violinist in the State of Michigan. My daughter had the opportunity to sing a couple of solo's for church when she was growing up.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I became a professional musician years ago when a family heard me played. The parents wanted me as their piano teacher for their children. I taught all three kids in the family. They recommended me to others and the word spread. I'm now teaching 23 students.
