Having patience is the greatest way to be successful! Whatever goal you are looking for, being patient about your progress is the most important aspect when starting out in music or pursuing a career. In a world where everything is going by so quickly, we tend to forget and appreciate some of the things happening in the background. We will set realistic goals and create mini-goals to hit those marks. Read More

I am a passionate and engaged teacher who loves to see my students succeed and grow in confidence and courage! I graduated with my Bachelors in Voice from DePauw University in 2017 where I studied with Caroline Smith. I am currently pursuing my Masters in Vocal Performance at the University of North Florida with James C. Hall. I’ve had the opportunity to sing everywhere from Cape Cod with the College Light Opera Company, Wooster, Ohio with the Ohio Light Opera, and even several choir competitions in Europe! Read More

I have taught music classes (choir, music theory, hand bells, recorders, and general music) for Kindergarten-10th grade for seven years, and I have taught private music lessons for over 10 years. I have taught students as young as five years old, and I've had students well into their retirement years as well. Everyone can enjoy learning about music; that's what makes music so unique and amazing. My highest goal is to inspire my students to love music, practice well, and perform to the best of their ability. Read More

I will focus on your musical passion and help you set goals based on the musician you would like to be. I will likely use a method book for piano or strings while voice students will develop repertoire from a variety of sources. I can help you learn to sing by reading music or by rote. I will help you seek opportunities for performance to build your confidence and experience. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I guess my love for playing/teaching music outweighed my desire for an extra paycheck at the time, which I was making playing bars and weddings on the weekend. Despite the fact that I wasn't charging for my lessons, I noticed the "students" were coming back for a different reason. It was because they were having fun. They were learning fast because I showed them ways to enjoy the beginning stages where, let's face it, nobody's good. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
There are a few tips that I have for practicing effectively:
1. Set clear and achievable goals for yourself both within the practice time and long-term.
2. Record yourself practicing because sometimes what comes out of the piano may not be what we imagine we're playing.
3. Reflect and asses playing before, during and after practice.
4. Use critical listening while practicing- It is so easy to just start playing notes rather than making music and singing through the piano.
5. Pay attention to the details of your piece, your instrument, and also be aware of your body moments which all contribute to the overall sound and character of your piece.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child can follow instructions and pay attention to another adult's instruction, then they are ready. Most students start at age 5 or 6. But a lot of pianist start as early as 3 or 4! I think that once your child is old enough to talk they can start lessons. A wonderful plus about lessons in my studio is that parents are given the option to be with their child during the lesson and watch their child learn. This helps the young child to feel more welcome and at home and that they have the support of their parent/guardian.
When will I start to see results?
I think this depends on what you define as results. To me, results are immediate because change, growth and learning happens immediately. This does not mean that within in two weeks or a month that a student may play to the level of Beethoven, but it does mean that the student will develop skills which they had not had before, or build upon skills at a higher level than what was known before. My students, after their first lesson are able to play at least one or two songs. Of course, for beginners, it will be a song like Mary had a Little Lamb or Old McDonald had a Farm. However, they learn the basics of music and piano enough to be able to apply their knowledge to simple songs. Growth from this point happens gradually and depends on the collaborative effort of student and teacher to continue advancement.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Well, my story is a little different. My church wanted a pianist so they sent me to lessons. I began lessons a little late in the 7th grade at age 10. Once I started music lessons I loved music so much that I practiced every chance I got even during break and lunch times which contributed to my advancement in music. I started with a wonderful teacher who was warm, friendly and like a mother. She made everyone feel like they were part of a big family and she did it very naturally. Her family was a musical family so it came natural for her to cultivate the love and passion for music in her students.
