Instruments: Piano Voice
My main background has been in the classroom. I have six years of experience teaching choir in secondary schools in Utah and two additional years at the collegiate level so I’ve been able to work with singers from 11 to 20+ years old. Whether your voice is just beginning to change or is maturing, I’ve been there and know how to help! I’ve been playing the piano for over 20 years and love helping students develop a new talent and love for music. Read More
Instruments: Piano
When teaching, I use very accepted strategies as I teach each individual. I work on the level and at the pace of each individual that is best for him/her. I keep a record of where each individual is at very regularly. I stay open for any questions, concerns, or ideas of others about the teaching and strategies that are used. At times when it can be appropriate, there are more fun activities used in teaching to decrease the mundane formality that can become too regular at times. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Keyboard
I began teaching lessons at age 14 to young neighborhood beginners. As I progressed through the years, I expanded my range of student ability from beginner to upper intermediate, and from ages 6 to... well, older than me and I'm now 60! I have taught hundreds of students and enjoyed every one of them. I find that the more effort, especially in consistent and efficient practice (to be explained and demonstrated by me), that my students put in, the more pleasure and satisfaction they get out of it!

Instruments: Piano Organ Keyboard
I like playing games and playing through music with the student. I have flash cards, sometimes we play concentration, war, find it on the keyboard, spoons, relay races. We use gross motor skills, with big floor keyboard, dance, etc. Sometimes we do note speller things, technique learning from books. Sometimes I record them so they can see their own progress. We adjust, we just have fun.When they start spelling words with note names and are able to write and find them on the keyboard and on the staff, then we begin composing our own music. Read More
Instruments: Piano
The economy is rough. Your child still deserves to learn music. Growing up, it was not always easy for my parents to afford piano lessons. Despite that difficulty, I developed a love for music, (and particularly the piano) that has lasted throughout my life. I have played the piano for twelve years, and continue work to improve myself as a pianist every day. I was lucky enough to receive lessons from a woman who had her Master's Degree in Piano Performance from BYU, and my teaching methods mirror hers. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Drums Bass Guitar Orchestral Percussion Conga Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
My method of teaching is that I always start from the theoretical part of every instrument or skill I teach because if they don’t have the background understanding they will be limited in their performances. I motivate by telling them my story how I started with no instrument I used borrow a two octaves keyboard from a choir member just to learn the piano my self I had no internet and no money so if I was able to learn in that condition they can do better.I teach the secrets of becoming a professional musician or music producer which one of them is consistency.

I love seeing my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it is important that each student is allowed space to be curious and creative as well as have enough structure to know how to continue forward. Together, we will make realistic goals for the week at the end of each lesson according to the needs, interests, and availability of each student. I will make a concerted effort to acknowledge accomplishment and create motivating meaningful performance opportunities. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I think that it is important to figure out your trouble spots immediately. If there is a section that is difficult to play in your music, stop and take a moment to figure out why it is difficult. Once the problem has been identified, work to find ways to stop the problem. Many of these problems can be resolved by relaxing the body and more importantly the wrist, taking the passage slower, and playing it multiple times - both hands alone then together. Play the passage in different rhythms, fast and slow, and with different wrist techniques. This will increase your ability to play it up to tempo, currently.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I started playing the piano when I was three. My mom started teaching me at such a young age. I honestly don't even remember my life without the piano in it. Because of this, I have always played the piano and I will never stop. It brings me such joy to find a piece of music that I love and working on it until it is perfect! I chose to continue with piano because it relaxes me. It is my hobby. It is the thing that I do when I am having a bad day. I love sitting down at a piano and sight reading a new book of music. Playing the piano is what brings me joy.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love playing music from the Romantic Period. I think that the composers during this period wrote incredibly beautiful music. I love the flowing style of pieces from this era. I also love to play more contemporary music. I think that the chords and styles used in this music is very exciting. There are so many different ways that a piece from this style can be played. I believe that it is important to have fun playing your music. I love to listen to different recordings and see how the performer played that piece and then put my own personal touch on the piece as well.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I grew up in an extremely musical family. My mom teaches piano and has a piano studio of over 65 piano students. I can't remember a time where my mom wasn't teaching piano. I have three siblings. When each of us turned eight we got to choose a second instrument that we wanted to play. I chose to play the cello. Two of my siblings play the violin while the other plays the viola. We had a string quartet growing up. We have performed at several different events, with my mom accompanying us on the piano. We each play the piano and have loved getting to play together. We especially love the holidays when we get to play music together.
