Dennis H. was employed at the historic Marshall Field’s store in Chicago as a piano and keyboard salesman. He attended the Kircher Technical Training Institute in Oak Park, where he acquired certificates in piano tuning and string repair.

His ongoing projects include rebuilding and refinishing pianos for clients from Chicago to Milwaukee.

Instruments: Piano Keyboard
My professional experience includes assisting piano professors to teach undergraduate students of different abilities, teaching skills that range from basic scales to classical overtures to modern jazz. I also teach beginners how to read sheet music, and communicate with younger students’ parents to make sure they know how the students are progressing. Over the course of my career thus far, I have learned that compassion, communication, and encouragement are just as essential to imparting musical knowledge as technical skills. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
Watching a student of mine cultivate a passion for music is very satisfying! So, it is important that every student develops at his or her personal pace. I support this by creating sensible goals for my students at every lesson. Recognizing accomplishments increases a students desire to improve, and makes students excited to learn more. By understanding what motivates a student, I can actively modify my teaching to their wants and needs. Read More
Instruments: Piano
As a teacher nothing is more rewarding than seeing my students love and grow in their passion for music and the piano! I want them to feel like they are continuing to enjoy it most while growing at their own pace. It is important that we set goals so that we can continue seeing progress in their growth. The lessons I plan out for them are geared towards their continued progress in theory, technique, performance and scale work. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Flute Piccolo
I have taught multiple beginning flute and voice students throughout my college career, as well as assisting the music students at Rolling Hills Elementary School in Mukwonago with their head start program. I wish to continue on into graduate school for Music Therapy, and for this reason, I also have experience working with both adolescence and adults that have developmental disabilities. I believe that music can be enjoyed by people of all different ages and experience levels, and I hope to work with students like these that are eager to learn. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I believe in being supportive, encouraging, and kind, yet firm. I encourage those students who are interested in performing by helping them to find opportunities. Every student is different and has different goals. We work to develop their potential. Some of my students are beginners and some have more experience. I like to make the lessons as fun as they can be and work on pieces and songs that the students enjoy! Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute Keyboard
Developing tone needs to be paramount from the beginning, with using slower exercises to build the muscles and develop the ear. I will also have the student work with a tuner relatively quickly, but the ultimate goal is to develop the ear relative to other pitches, so I mostly work with drones playing in the background so that the student can play a passage with the root tone as a constant reference.

Instruments: Piano Voice Trombone
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
One of my proudest moments musically was being able to perform onstage at Carnegie Hall in New York City under conductor and composer John Rutter with my college choir! For one it gave me the opportunity to explore New York City, but also being able to perform a masterwork under the baton of the composer and seeing his thought process of how to get the sound he wanted was baffling.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
My other two instruments that I have studied over the years are piano and trombone. Piano I started playing and taking lessons for during my elementary school years, taking a hiatus from them during high school and picking them back up during college! My great grandma had a piano in her house that I would always mess around with and that habit stuck all the way to today! For trombone, the opportunity for me to start it up was presented by my high school's band teacher during my freshman year of high school. I took him up on the offer and have been playing ever since!
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I was originally going to pursue a Math Education degree before switching to Music Education, so would still be teaching most likely but a different subject.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I would love to one day learn and perform the entirety of the Songs of Travel song cycle by Ralph Vaughan Williams. I have already learned a third of the pieces throughout my colleges career, and each piece is so nuanced and fun to perform that it makes me want to learn and sing the full scope!
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 a Music Education Degree for Choral and General Classrooms, meaning I am certified to teach all through K-12 in either general music topics or choir specifics. I originally was going to pursue MATH Education, but my love and passion to spread love for music outshined that path.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I have been a singer my entire life, so for me it was a natural choice! My mother and father were very musical people, as well as my siblings were always in choir or musical theater.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
A student can be at any age, but the main thing they need to have is an interest THEMSELVES to improve or experience more music. Forcing a student into lessons or ensembles when their heart really is not in it is the fastest path to burnout.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I am very fortunate to have all my teachers from my school years be very positive influences in my music journey. My elementary music teacher who I took piano lessons with, my middle and high school choir teacher who lead me through countless musicals and had faith in me to help out other members of the ensemble in sectionals, my high school band teacher who helped me bridge my choir experience into instrumental work, and so many more great educators were present and always willing to lend a helping hand.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Routine of practicing is important, but adding in working on material that brings you joy instead of the same warmups over and over again has you wanting to practice longer!
