I have been teaching since 2008 and have felt very blessed to see students develop a love for their instrument and music. I began as a junior instructor with a group of teachers who taught different instruments, where students had the opportunity to play in a band setting. A true rock and roll beginning, I absolutely loved playing in student bands, and teacher showcase bands such as the ZZ Top and Led Zeppelin tribute bands. Read More

For all beginner students, I begin with the Essential Elements books. Once fingering and bowing have been introduced, I begin incorporating level-appropriate scales. These etudes and scales are vital for learning the technique necessary for more advanced pieces. Once the student has completed the first Essential Elements book, we then select a piece for them to play, and keep this as our main focus while continuing to work on scales and etudes. Read More

I believe anyone has the ability to learn music. I feel it is my duty to help my students discover their own musical path. It is my passion to show you, you have the ability to overcome any obstacles you may face in music. On May 1st I graduated from Weber State University with my Bachelors in K-12 Music Education. I got the chance to be instructed by great minds like Viktor Uzur (known worldwide for the Richter/Uzur Duo) and work along side talented students like Fan Ya Lin (pianist with a professorship at Julliard).

In addition to lesson and scale books I like to heavily supplement technical material, finger strengthening exercises, repertoire appropriate to playing level, and theory. I also send students home with listening homework from time to time, which includes listening to works from famous composers on youtube and then having a brief conversation about those pieces at the start of our next lesson. I believe understanding the scope of an instrument from more than just the technical aspect of it really enhances the learning experience and makes students value the techniques they are learning.

I know each student is different in terms of learning style and musical goals. I make it a priority to keep the student's best interest in mind when giving assignments and setting weekly goals for practicing. The most important thing I want to leave the student with is a sense of fascination and appreciation for music. Whether an interest in classical or country music, I can transform any material into a learning opportunity that is fun, educational, and progressive for the student's musical and technical development.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Create- and write down- goals that are attainable in however long you have to practice. There is no need for the frustration of cramming too much into too little time; if you feel crunched for time, limit the number or overall difficulty of goals you are aiming for. Many students cite past frustration in practicing in their reasoning for not wanting to practice. By creating a checklist of smaller goals, students can see that they really are accomplishing a lot even when it may not feel like it.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Learning to hold the instrument and bow! These are two of the first things we learn, and both are things that professionals still tinker and experiment with no matter how many years they have been playing- I might make the argument we never quite master it, but it definitely becomes second nature after a bit of time spent with the instrument. Neither the violin bow or instrument hold are things that feel completely natural at first, and a long time is spent reducing tension and making everything as comfortable as possible to reduce injury.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I would love to play in a production of Les Miserables. The show was one of the first I fell in love with in my early years of learning about theatre and the orchestral parts add so much depth to an already engaging story. In terms of strictly orchestral music, I hope to get the chance to play Gershwin's "An American In Paris" sometime in my career. I think it's a piece of music that can be enjoyed by longtime listeners of classical music and those who might just be getting a first introduction to the form. The blues melody in the middle has always held a special place in my heart.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite way to participate in music is as a musician for local musical theatre, especially musical theatre tailored to kids and young adults. Being able to contribute to the art forms of singing, acting, and dancing, further drives my belief that all art (not just music) can impact young lives in a meaningful way. Through the process of creating a musical theatre product, we learn about all the components that go into effective storytelling. I became a much more expressive and flexible player in my time playing musicals.
