Instruments:
I have served over 3 years experience as a student teacher in two school districts with an elementary music class and the Jr. High and HS bands. With my experiences, I have created lesson plans, conducted rehearsals, and assisted with festivities for bands. As a graduate, I have also taught music lessons with children ages 5-18 and had worked with children in the same age group at a local day care center. In addition with my education field and experiences, I have also held a volunteer position between two local churches as a singer for the church choir through a Minister of Music program. I have previously been employed at the John H. Wood Charter District as an Instructor Assistant with a Music Focus in San Antonio, TX at the Anne Frank Inspire Academy. I recently have moved back into the DFW area and currently work with the Creme de la Creme Early Learning Academy as a preschool music teacher.
Instruments:
Students who are beginning with me are presented with two methods and may choose based upon the Theory book. Generally, I present Faber's Piano Adventures, Hal Leonard, and at times, Succeeding at Piano by Helen Marlais. I use Frances Clark's Music Tree for students younger than five years of age. I follow the Lessons and Theory pairing from a student's method of choice. Once students can read the grand staff, I use A Dozen A Day by Edna Mae Burnam to teach keyboard geography and help lay the foundation for developing technique. For voice, I use simple vocal exercises that I have written. For adults who wish to learn to sing, I begin with basics of technique and introduce them to various styles unless they have expressed specific interest, ie, popular, musical theater, or classical. I encourage summer study and use that time to teach out of an anthology in order to allow students to apply their skills with expressive or character pieces. I teach duets in order to help students become comfortable with jazz and blues. I have held service recitals at local retirement homes in order to foster a love of sharing music with others.
Instruments:
I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a bachelor's degree on Vocal Performance, and am currently a second-year master's student pursuing a degree in Vocal Pedagagy. I am aspiring to be an educator in the realm of community outreach, to be on the opera stage, and to produce and record classical, children’s, Christian, jazz and ethno-cultural sacred music. Along with pursuing a career in teaching, I am pursuing positions in the fields of acting and voice-over work, including character voices, commercial singing, and advertising, I enjoy acting, storytelling, inspiring audiences of all ages, and artful expression by medium of the written word. My future endeavors include, authoring books for children and families, and books focused on total-wellness. As a mother of children with special needs, I also desire to be an advocate for children with special needs, orphans, and low-income families by offering affordable arts and literary enrichment, giving recitals that raise funds for those families and individuals, and launching programs that care for and empower them.
Instruments:
I have a very fun yet effective teaching style. I try to help students reach their personal goals on the instrument. I also like to recognize each achievement no matter how small to show my students how their practicing and hard work has paid off. I want each student to progress at their own pace and mostly to show them what the world of music has to offer.
Instruments:
I've found that tailoring my instruction to the wants and needs of the student is incredibly important to ensure a lifelong appreciation for playing music. Not every student needs to play Beethoven. I focus on positive reinforcement and helping students become comfortable with their instrument, so that they enjoy playing and practicing every day. Questions are encouraged, and creative impulses are pursued wherever they lead. That way, we can play together and grow together!
