My favorite thing about teaching is getting to know each of my students indiviually and finding out how each of them learn best. I love to teach and to learn how to be the best teacher possible for each student. I am currently pursuing my masters at Baylor University and am a regularly featured memeber of the opera program.

Instruments: Piano

I began playing the piano as a small child. I've studied privately for 12 years with multiple professional instructors. I've started out learning traditional piano, then after my teacher started to retire, I have self taught myself. When I first started lessons, I used to get in trouble with my first teacher because I wouldn't learn my notes in the beginning. My teacher would play the instruction first, then I would remember and mimic the way she played. Read More

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Faber Piano Adventures. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire. For adults, I start with the Faber Adult Series as well as find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. My teaching philosophy is to focus on listening first, which helps students learn to read music more effectively. Read More

My teaching style is very laid back and encouraging. I love seeing a student pick up a new instrument but I usually sense a lot of nerves and bad self talk. I believe when learning anything, one should be comfortable to fail and ask questions. I try to make sure this is understood right away. I have a basic structure at the beginning of my lessons that includes scales and chords, but I like to use the rest of the sessions to work on what the student has been inspired by. Read More

I do ask my students to set a goal and work to reach it. Furthermore, I do ask, but not require, my students to participate and perform in recitals - I have found recitals to be an invaluable teaching tool. My goal is for the student to enjoy their lessons so they stick with their piano lessons until it flows naturally and they hear the music - then they are hooked! Read More
