Each student will work at his or her own pace. I will help the students set goals for the week, a month, and a year. We will then reflect on where we are at that time. The student and I will be working together to find out how they can be successful. I will find out the students likes through lessons and work to expand their thoughts. I will always remind them that ALL MUSIC IS GOOD MUSIC TO SOMEONE. Read More

I'm a fun and energetic music teacher and love teaching others the joy of music. I just graduated from the University of Northern Iowa with a Bachelor of Arts degree in music, where my primary instrument was percussion. At UNI, I was involved in the Panther Marching Band, Symphonic Band, West African Drum Ensemble, Taiko Japanese drumming and many other ensembles. My goal is not to make everybody a professional musician, but to expand their knowledge in different genres and show them ways to create and appreciate music. Read More

I think it is important for lessons to not only be instructional, but also engaging and fun. Being a great teacher is about learning from the student just as much as the student learning from you.

I like to introduce all types of music, because students may not know what they like or might be missing out on something they haven't tried before. Read More

The most important parts of learning any instrument is reading music and posture/hand positions. On piano I typically use Faber's Piano Adventure series. I've found that this series teaches the fundamentals in a fun and easy way. On brass and woodwind instruments I would start a beginner with the Standard of Excellence series and supplement with the Rubank method books. With ukulele I like to start with Hal Leonard method books and then shift to Johnson's Ukulele Aerobics. Read More

I have always been involved with anything I can with music, starting by listening to the radio at age 4, to being where I am today. As a 3 year All-Stater, I know how a musical ensemble must be run and how each individual student must be catered to, to get the best possible out of each and every student. Since 7th grade I knew I wanted to teach music one day, and doing this is something I adore. Read More
