I have taught since high school, both as a TA and a private teacher. I take in the students input, where they are currently and where they want to go/what they want to do with music. Once I have a good understanding what they want, I can educate them how they need be. I can teach any student in any range of instruments, genres, styles and levels, and am very open and considerate, in order to give them the best education I possibly can and further them on their journey as fast as possible. I want to help people through music and it is this passion that keeps all of us going.

Instruments: Piano, Violin

Teaching Methods: My philosophy is if it isn't fun; nobody wants to do it. My method of teaching provides simple psycology in making praticing fun. The piano needs to be praticed every day if the student wants to progress! For Children I teach pop and classical piano, where as adults I try to find out why they want to play and what style of music they would like to play. Many adults don't desire to be a concert pianist but, If you'd like to play for fun; maybe play at a party to entertain your guests and you would like to play popular music; there's a class specialized for that.

Teaching Styles: My teaching style requires a lot of patience, of which provides the student to advance at their own pace and find their own creativity. I ask that parents trust me in the journey, it is very unlikely to get someone playing professionally overnight. But with patience and hard work and commitment we can get very far. I evaulate the student within the first few months to find what hidden talent they may have and use it to our advantage.

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop an understanding and passion for for Music! Therefore it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by going against the standard 30min-1hr practice time and instead set realistic goals for my students at each lesson that they should hope to achieve at their own pace. By utilizing forms of positive reinforcement such as acknowledging accomplishments, I can help fuel a student's desire to progress, and make them eager to learn more. By trying to deduce what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor our time together to meet their wants and needs.

Instruments: Piano

I tailor my lesson plans for each individual student. My teaching style is thorough, kind, and patient.  I lay a firm theoretical basis and build music making on that. My approach is classical in style, but if a student shows an affinity for another style of music I will incorporate that style into the lessons as well in order to facilitate the most enjoyable and effective learning experience possible.
