Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard
I structure my lessons so that each student knows exactly what to expect each week. We begin with Warmups, Scales, Technique, Sight-reading in piano and/or voice. Then we move onto the literature, checking posture for both Voice and Piano. We recap, at the end of each lesson, so that any questions may be answered. We set goals for rehearsals, memorization, study requirements. I record vocal exercises, or accompaniment tracks for the student so that they are able to practice more efficiently. Read More

I have been teaching music since 1984, from private piano lessons for people of all ages to coaching voice and teaching beginning violin to college classes in piano and music theory. In the past two years, I have had the opportunity to present music clinics to elementary age children at the Tempe Public Schools through Kid Zone, the City of Tempe's enrichment program as a specialty instructor. I am currently in the teaching certificate program for Elementary Education through Rio Salado College. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I studied dance at the age of 6. My mom bought a piano for herself to learn to play. I would go to the piano and try to make up songs that I could dance to, which then lead me to take piano lessons for 15 years. Committment, joy, and passion are the keys to learning and growing as a music student. I enjoy teaching all styles, as well having students learn to arrange and express their own style within the piece they are learning. Read More

I am dedicated, persistent, and reliable. I am willing to learn and keep learning for the advancement of myself and my students.

I will record the student's progress electronically so that the student may better understand and learn from their lessons. I will inspire my student’s, positively influencing and encouraging them along our journey of musical discovery. Read More

A child will not learn to play an instrument overnight or in one week, the commitment to practice and keeping track of that practice is essential. Nothing helps us learn better than encouragement, even when it sounds bad. Any teacher can tell if a student hasn't practiced or put forth a good effort. Sometimes, you do have to let them know you know, but you try to do so gently. Read More

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I knew I wanted to teach in high school, however I never dreamed of becoming a professional player like I am now until I was in college. When I was a student at the University of Iowa I was surrounded by ambitious people like me and we pushed each other with the ultimate goal of becoming the best players we could be which ultimately resulted in several of us developing ambitions to play professionally.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes it does, it runs very deeply. My dad and stepmother are both music teachers, and low brass players. My dad was a collegiate band director, and my stepmom was a collegiate low brass professor for a long time. They have since moved on to different musical jobs with my stepmother teaching beginning orchestra and my dad moving on to an administrative role. There is also an extended part of my family that I do not know who play music in Nashville.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I cannot imagine life where I am not a musician.
The prompt requires me to have 27 words so I'm adding some down here, the previous sentence is the only one that matters here.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I really enjoy playing within the New Orleans brass band style. It gives me an opportunity to open up and wail alongside a lot of creative license for the individual players. There is also a lot of improvisation which is my favorite part of a lot of music.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a degree in trombone performance with a separate K-12 music education certification from the University of Iowa. I have always wanted to be a trombonist but I also have always had passion and felt a calling for teaching.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
This will differ wildly depending on what literature I'm playing. There is a consistent part of my practice though which is my daily routine.
My routine starts with a couple short breathing exercises. I'll then play my first sounds of the day which are usually long, easy glissandos. Then long tones and lip slurs with a metronome. The focus is ALWAYS on quality, not speed. I will usually incorporate articulation and range expansion into my lip slur exercises to be more efficient. I'll finish off with a low and slow cooldown, expanding down into the basement of my range. The goal of this is to focus on being the best trombonist I can be, and building skills in places I think are deficient.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I think the Rubank method is good for a few reasons. I like their technical exercises, and I also like that it is progressive on a scale that is challenging but achievable in private lessons. With regards to brass playing, Arbans is really good for building technical facility, and Rochut is really good for building consistency with tone, flexibility and constructing musical phrases.
