The most important thing to me is to make sure my students love what they do. So I like to make sure that I'm always challenging them but never pushing them too hard, helping them get better at their own pace.

Obviously, sometimes it may seem like a lot of work, but it isn't expected to be perfect at every lesson! Read More

I'm passionate about sharing my love of music with students. I've been teaching privately for over ten years now, and am at home teaching students of all ages. Through music, I've had the opportunity to play in many different states, as well as overseas. I am eclectic in my musical experiences, as I am at home teaching classical, jazz, and other styles. One of the great experiences of my life was being able to travel to England to perform in the 2014 London New Year's Day festivities. Read More

As stated in my experience explanation I use the piano as a teaching tool. however, I do not require that students know how to play the piano at all as I will only be using it for extremely simple demonstrations. I strongly believe in the vocal chords being directly related to the training of a musicians ear and how they understand playing their instrument and, therefore I teach a small bit of basic singing skills.
