Instruments: Piano
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
Instruments: Piano
I have been teaching since high school, and have taught students of all ages, ranging from age 5 to adults. I have had multiple opportunities to perform and accompany for various groups within my education at BYU, and have composed many pieces for piano, orchestra, and small groups. My students tend to progress very quickly and have a strong understanding of how to practice and what tools they can call on to reach their individual goals. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I tend to be more laid back and relaxed. I want students to feel comfortable making mistakes, improvisation and creating their own sounds without fear of harsh criticism. I set up goals for each student based on their interests and what I feel is going to help them advance. This will include genres they may not like but I want to give them experience with a variety of different sounds and rhythms. Read More

Music has been a passion of mine from age 6. I got my start playing the piano with friends trying to figure out the music from Super Mario 64. Not a day has gone by since then that I haven't picked up an instrument of some kind. It's been a goal of mine to learn as many instruments as possible throughout my life and focus on the instruments I love. I've been able to learn the piano, organ, all kinds of guitars, clarinet, oboe, saxophone, bassoon, trumpet, trombone, percussion instruments, and vocals. 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 Guitar Flute
I play 3 different instruments. I originally started out on the flute. I played the flute during high shool and college. I studied under Karen , and Leslie Timmons. While I was at college, I became interested in Music Therapy. As part of the curriculum for Music Therapy, I also studied guitar and piano. I have worked as a music therapist and as a music teacher for many years. I have played in marching bands, orchestras, and symphonic bands. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet Keyboard
I teach mostly Classical up to advanced level, jazz for begginers and also Klezmer and Folk styles. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing any of my students develop a passion for music and especially the style he loves. For example Classical period of XIX century or traditional Klezmer European style. There is always a challenge to choose good repertoire and teaching methods to each individual student. Seeing them grow is one of the best reward of this job. 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.
