Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Drums Bass Guitar Organ Euphonium Tuba
I feel that it is best not to use the cookie cutter approach to teaching music. Each student is unique in their own way and is able to learn and apply musical concepts differently; therefore I take a careful and studious approach to make sure that my students have the best advantage by creating a custom lesson plan specific to their learning pace. I do my best to make it fun and engaging while increasing their ability and knowledge of music as it applies to their instrument. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Ukulele Mandolin Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I'm a passionate musician and teacher and would love to be your instructor! My love and experience is primarily in guitar, voice, and piano. I graduated from Gordon college in 2008 with a degree in music education and taught K-8 grade for several years, which included directing children's choirs, teaching private lessons, and teaching general music to many ages. Teaching keyboard and singing was a highlight in the classroom setting. After a few years of teaching I became a mom and have transitioned from full time teaching to raise my three girls. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Flute Clarinet
I began teaching before I graduated from high school thanks to a tutoring program at the high school. I had so much fun working with the elementary school kids that I decided to build a studio up of my own and ever since i have been working with a number of students ages ranging from 4-80. My students are individually pushed to reach goals that they make for themselves at the start of lessons no matter what that goal might be and I love being able to make a fun journey to that goal.

Instruments: Piano Music
I love to teach students of all ages. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Cello Bass Guitar
Through my time working with students I have found that it is very important to get to know them on a more personal level, i.e. music they like, their interests, their hobbies etc, and that way I can tailor my lesson plans to them as individuals and make them feel as comfotable as possible. I've learned a lot from my experiences in and out of the classroom, and I use my knowledge to the best of my ability in every lesson. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet
I have been teaching a total of 5 years. I currently have a studio of students online now and I am looking to expand my experience teaching. I was excited to complete my graduate thesis in December 2021, Music for Creative Learning. It proposes a specific teaching pedagogy that is meant to stimulate cognitive development, foster creativity, and develop global civics. More importantly it uses music as an interconnective force for creative learning and cultural immersion in education. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Bass Guitar Keyboard
I consider myself a laid back teacher who still has solid expectations. I understand that each student's feasible time commitment may be different and I would like to honor that. With that said, I expect my students to put time into their music, because that is the only way to make progress and to maximize their ultimate enjoyment of playing an instrument. I will set realistic weekly goals for each student, trying to balance their interests with my evaluation of what they need to work on to make the most progress. Read More
Instruments: Piano
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I am the only musician in my family. My parents both played in their school band but never pursued music beyond.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I always knew.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My degree is in performance and composition. I love to perform and find it to be quite challenging; I love a challenge. I also love to express my creativity through composition.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I would love to perform my own compositions in concert. As much as I love performing Beethoven and Chopin, I want to create my own works to share with others.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I weren't a musician, I'd spend all of my time with art. For the past few years, I have been working with metal and kinetic sculpture.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My passion has always been classical piano. In the recent years, I have fallen in love with arranging and teaching pop, rock and metal for piano.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started playing flute in college for some experience with another instrument.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I used to use Alfred, Bastien, Piano Adventures and several others. I still occasionally use songs from those books. However, I have developed my own style of teaching using songs that the student likes as course material. I arrange it myself.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
When I practice, I start with drills and exercises to get my fingers moving. If I'm deeply immersed into learning a piece, I concentrate on a section and loop it until it becomes easy and/or memorized.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
There are so many levels in piano. If we are speaking about advanced playing, the hardest thing to master is fluidity in the musical lines so that it is expressive.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
For several years I had trained students for competition. Most of them had taken awards in their age category and a few of them have placed 1st in advanced categories.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I really love the complexity and expression of a piano.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I have one numerous awards in college, performed solo recitals, accompanied an orchestra, created hundreds of piano tutorials on YouTube and can arrange any music to be suitable on piano.
When will I start to see results?
You will see results in the first lesson.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Every piano teacher I had was a true inspiration for me. I have loved classical music so much growing up that everything that I learned from one of my piano teachers has been influential in my life.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Your child is ready for lessons when they express an interest in learning and are able to follow along to a teacher. It also helps if they are old enough to read. Their enthusiasm and ability to focus is key.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I find my practice most effective when I pick a section (whether 2 measures, 8 measures or a page and loop it around many times).
