Instruments: Voice
As a teacher, I always do my best to be as encouraging as possible to students. Student feedback is important to me. I always encourage students to ask questions and be engaged in their learning process. Together, my students and I will set goals for their learning and assess where we are in meeting those goals. This way, the students needs are met, and I can more accurately tailor my lessons to serve the student. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Recorder Euphonium
With all of my students I am kind, patient, gentle, humorous, encouraging, and positive with my feedback. Students regularly give feedback on the music they are making, as well as any new ways they think I might be helpful to them. I use Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligence Theory to help inform me of the students learning style. My goal is to nurture each students musical process. I support whatever pace students choose to employ, and tailor my instruction to their needs and wants. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I am a motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my passion for music. I studied at The Center of Music, in Virginia Beach, Va. Playing the piano has been one the most fulfilling accomplishments of my life. I've had the opportunity to work with song writers and compose music for them and accompany singers during their performances. Music is a gift that I love sharing with my students and my goal is to help my students meet their musical goals, one lesson at a time. Read More
Instruments: Voice Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Euphonium Piccolo Mallet Percussion
For my own beginner students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to 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. Read More
Instruments: Voice
I strive to provide effective tools for children and adults of all ages that reinforce vocal training, confidence, precision, and vocal hygiene. The last decade of experience gives me a solid foundation to ascertain the temperament and learning style of students and create a specialized and integrative lesson plan for them to utilize in order to enhance their gifts. My personal style is an authoritative one, not authoritarian or passive, wherein I connect with my students with positive reinforcement. Read More
Instruments: Voice
I have been singing all of my life and know how important my many amazing voice teachers have been to me. I have enjoyed performing in operas, recitals, concerts, and church programs for almost 25 years and teaching voice for almost 20 years. I have taught students in their homes and at programs through universities and now that I have relocated to Hampton Roads, I look forward to continuing my commitment to vocal education. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone Clarinet Oboe
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Most of my students just wanted to get a little more knowledge on what they were doing on their instrument. I have gotten many compliments from music teachers because they said they can hear a difference in the students who were taking lessons. Just like any other activity kids move on from music. What I like to stress to any of my students is unlike ballet, cheerleading, football, etc... playing music is something you can do the rest of your life. It doesn't have to be on a professional level. You can play in a community band until you are 80 plus years old. Are you going to be doing ballet, cheerleading or football at 80?
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
The music accomplishment I am most proud of is learning oboe and reed making. I started out as a sax player and didn't start oboe until I was about 22 years old. It was probably the hardest thing I have ever done musically I didn't really see results for a year but my college professor told me to stick with it. He was a wonderful instructor. He explained how when learning a second instrument you progress quickly then plateau for several months because your musical knowledge has caught up to your current technical level. It took me year to find my center of pitch on oboe. Not to mention mastering reed making which is a never ending labor of love. My professor encouraged me to join the college wind ensemble and any band that would tolerate me lol. After retiring from the military and joining a local ensemble made up of school teachers and professional players, I played second oboe. The first rehearsal the conductor asked for a Bb from both of the oboes. We were so in tune the band let out a collective, "Oooohh!" At that moment I knew 16 years of study and performance really paid off.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
When my son Ruben was 7, I took him to the local music store while I was buying reeds. The store owner is a percussionist and had a drum kit set up for kids to bang on to keep them busy. He told Ruben it was okay to play. While Ruben was playing and I was chatting with the store owner he mentioned, "He has a nice touch, most kids come in and bang on the drums. Ruben isn't doing that." I decided to get him lessons with an excellent local drum teacher. Ruben's teacher has commented that he has accomplished things at seven years old that his adult students have trouble with. I believe the instrument chooses you. Kind of like in Harry Potter when he was choosing a wand. When it came to saxophone, it just kind of spoke to me.
