My teaching experience dates back to my high school days, as I began teaching private lessons while being a section leader for band, and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio ever since. I tell all my students, "A little a day goes a longs way," to remind them the benefits of keeping up with consistency with their craft to see results in their progress. Incorporating technique, tunes, and theory into my students lessons is how I help them gain an excellent balance of understanding everything that comes to music. Read More

During the first lesson, I have a short discussion with the student to see what their goals are. I also ask what about music interests them. I then ask them to perform anything of their choice to assess their ability level (if applicable). After that, I tell them what immediately needs to be addressed and how this will work with their longterm goal. Then, based on their progress, we set benchmark goals that are adjusted according to their pace. Read More

For beginner students with little to no playing experience, I usually start with the Essential Elements series, along with supplemental music theory instruction. I usually switch the student over to the Rubank books once they've grasped the fundamentals. I then introduce standard solo repertoire as well as etudes, orchestral excerpts, etc. I encourage ensemble playing and deep music listening to all my students as well. For piano students, I am comfortable teaching Suzuki, Faber & Faber, and many other methods.

I am a energetic and inspiring teacher. I have been working as a music teacher for over 10 years. I've been in many different orchestras, marching bands, and even played on a cruise ship. I have had a passion for music ever since I could sit up straight and reach the piano keys. A little known fact is my great ancestor was Joanne Sebastian Bach. So I would like to say my love for music runs deep in my veins. Read More
