Instruments: Piano Voice Trombone Euphonium Keyboard
As beginners, I recommend the first Hal Leonard Essential Elements Band books with EEi. The EEi feature allows students to access online features that coordinate with their private lessons and enhance their ability to learn. As students progress through the book, I add solo repertoire to the student's EEi account so they can both hear it played and record their own performance of each work of band music. Guitar students start with Essential Elements, piano students begin with Piano Adventures/Adult Piano Adventures, and both offer interactive online components which enhance the student's resources and ability to practice and learn between lessons.

Naturally, my method will adapt to each student's needs. This will depend firstly on what style of music we are working to develop. Next, I will base my approach on the students level of abilities. There are a number of things to consider, such as technique, aural capacity, intuitive understanding, and basic theoretical knowledge, as well as each student's particular personality traits and best method of receiving information. I have a large repertoire of pedagogical literature and performance pieces. Read More

I like to have my students progress to a point where they feel comfortable picking a song of their choice, transcribing it as accurately as possible, and playing it. For advanced students: there is no set structure for advanced students, as their requests and sets of strengths and weaknesses are so individually specific that I have to create a specific lesson plan for each student. However, one theme that I love to introduce advanced musicians to in terms of music theory are the psycho-acoustics and emotional manipulation of specific chord progressions, modes, cadences, and modal interchange.

I have been working as an instructor for over 15 years. I can teach all ages and backgrounds, and have a very patient approach. I recently moved to the Denver area, and I am excited to start up and build a new student base. I do expect my students to practice, as it is the only way a student will improve and grow to love music even more. I encourage my students to get involved in any talent shows at school, as well as any competitions and recitals available in the area. Read More

I began teaching music lessons before I actually graduated with my degree in Music Education! In college, I gave voice lessons to fellow students regularly and lead many rehearsals and after school music camps for elementary and middle school aged students. While student teaching, I had the opportunity to lead 5 different choirs, lead 8 different levels of music education and give after school tutoring to students. After graduation, I taught in a music studio focusing primarily on piano students and guitar students of a wide age range. Read More

My approach to teaching is personal, flexible, and student-centered. I will start by finding out what the student knows already, and what the student wants to know. What kinds of music do they want to play, and why? (For instance: for fun; accompanying themselves singing; performing in front of people; becoming professional.) If the student can play some samples of songs they would like to learn, all the better. Along the way, some basics will surely be covered (chords, scales, basic music theory, various instrumental techniques). Read More

Voice: In voice lessons we do not use books which allows me to fully customize lessons to the individual students needs and wants. I teach different methods of breathing, including low costal breathing and we focus on posture, sound placement, among many other fun skills. Speaking: Speaking lessons are also highly customized, as speakers could be anyone from film or stage actors, to voice over artists, to public speakers and beyond. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Cello Drums Bass Guitar Synthesizer Music Keyboard
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Cello has a deep, rich, and beautiful sound with the potential for such a wide range of music, some of which has not even been written yet. I consider myself a musical explorer and, having already played piano for five years at the time, I took up cello to give myself more opportunities to dig deep into music.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I think the hardest thing to master on any instrument is deep, vulnerable expression. Music is such an emotional art form and it takes a deep commitment from any musician of any skill level to evoke such a deep and personal performance.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
In teaching piano, I prefer to use the books by Faber&Faber. These were the books that I used growing up and I find that, especially for kids, they make learning piano that much more fun. In teaching cello, I prefer not to teach out of books but instead to gather many different materials from different sources and see what will help students make progress in the way that is clearest for them to understand. For example, some students learn better from Dotzauer than from Popper, or from Haydn than from Saint-Saens.
When will I start to see results?
Parents of previous students and even students themselves have told me that they knew their lessons were "working" because they would come home from their lesson and immediately want to go practice. If you are a parent of a student, you might not always see the results you're looking for until you see your student perform in a recital. "Results" is also such a widely-defined term that, in my opinion, it is different for every student.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Children tend to demonstrate musical interest from a young age, though you may need to look for it. If there are instruments in the house, let them play with them and see how they respond, or see if they play with them without your prompting. I started piano at five years old after a year or so of banging out unintelligible chords on the baby grand piano in my grandparents house and singing songs from church as if I was accompanying myself. Other children will go around humming or singing to themselves, or even banging out "drum beats" with kitchen items.
Other than having an apparent affinity for music, most children are ready for lessons when they are able to pay attention to something for more than half an hour to an hour at a time.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing for long periods of time does not equal practicing effectively or efficiently. If you target issues and the tools to solve them, efficient practicing could be done in less than an hour per day. Everyone practices differently, everyone learns differently, and what works for others (or what someone else tells you will work) might not work for you.

Jennifer
My 7 year old daughter is interested in voice lessons. She loves to sing . . . not so good at it right now! No choir in her school, so interested in options. Thank you!
Rachel
I'm looking for voice lessons for my 8-year-old daughter. She is currently taking piano lessons elsewhere, but we might be interested in changing to another teacher.
Noelle
I'm hoping to grow in strength & precision, to further develop my ear for difficult harmonies, and to broaden the scope of musical styles I am able to proficiently sing.
