Instruments: Piano Voice
Shortly after my graduation and subsequent marriage, I began a teaching career that has included private piano lessons, small classroom groups, combined piano/voice lessons at a private music school, and being a homeschool educator to my own three children! I am a skilled accompanist, which requires remembering that your job is to uplift and support the group or individual performer as they sing or play. I have accompanied many church choirs, school choirs, vocal and instrumental recitals, and ensemble groups. Read More

Instruments: Voice
I usually start with breathing exercises and vocalises for all students. I also use the exercise books Concone and Sieber. After the student has grasped the breathing and the coordination of the vocalises we move on to repertoire that is age appropriate. I encourage my students to sing in Italian as this helps them to acquire a proper technique because Italian uses pure vowels. I have studied with some great teachers and feel like I need to pass on those methods to the next generation of musicians. Read More

I have been teaching since college and have taught elementary through high school/college music in public and private schools over 20 years. I have also worked with adults who want to review or renew their music skills or learn how to play or sing for the first time! I now teach private lessons in my home studio or in students' homes. I encourage students to find a daily consistent time they can practice, even if for 20-30 minutes. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I love to see my students develop a passion for music, but moreover to develop the great self confidence that comes from beginning to play an instrument and sing. Lessons should be enjoyable and also focus some attention to the things that will help the student achieve all that they are wanting to accomplish in the long term. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
I think music making is the most appealing part of learning to play a new instrument. This is why I try to make every new concept Iteach as appealing and as fun as possible. For example, if in day one I am teaching two notes, I like to have as much fun with those two notes by making a song or a game out of them. In this way my students are able to engage in music and have fun while they are learning. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
During college, I studied Italian, French, and German which have helped me in singing and teaching music in these languages. I also had the opportunity to do a study abroad Opera program with Oberlin in Italy where I was able to study with teachers from the Eastman School of Music. I taught private voice and piano lessons lessons at Northern IL. and a variety of music studios from 2007-2012 . I taught over 400 students ages 3-65. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet Bassoon
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I actually chose my primary on a bit of a wayward path; initially I wanted to play the French Horn, which would have meant starting on trumpet in my district. I was absolutely set on it until the night before I got nervous and thought to myself "trumpet is kind of a silly word" (it isn't, but I was 10) and picked saxophone the next day. In the 6th grade, they asked who may be interested in new instruments, and I raised my hand. My directors saw I had large hands and figured I was a fit for bassoon. Here I am 20 years and 3 degree later, and I think they were on to something.
My secondary instruments came as a result of my desire to play jazz in high school, and continue playing jazz in college. I maintained playing saxophone even with bassoon, to the point where it was a second primary through my bachelor's degree, and added clarinet and flute to play in jazz band and pit orchestras.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Be deliberate, be analytic, and be slow. Often times there are simple mechanical issues that are causing problems, and figuring out the fundamental root of the issue by thinking and moving slowly will solve in 5 minutes what brute force would take an hour. Only play at a speed where you can hit 100% of the notes 100% of the time.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Readiness for lessons mean different things for different students. Some want to catch up, some want to maintain, and some want to get ahead. For the instruments I specifically teach (instruments common in the school band), readiness starts when band starts. If the student is able to physically hold and play the instrument, they are ready to start lessons.
When will I start to see results?
Results come as part of deliberate practice. As a teacher, my job is to guide this practice, help set goals, and provide solutions for problems the student encounters but I can't be with them every hour of every day 7 days a week to do this. For beginning students, practicing as little as 5-10 minutes a day will yield results. As the student gains comfort and skill, the time allotted to practice should increase, but any consistent focus will bring results quickly.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I've been blessed with an enormous number of wonderful music teachers, but the biggest inspiration to me was my band director through grade school and high school, Mr. Monroe. He was himself an excellent performer, as well as a composer and a performer, but his greatest strength was the love and care he showed each individual student. There were 250 of us in the high school program alone, and he made sure we all felt like his favorite students. The way he earnestly cared about his students as individuals, paired with his high expectations for musical achievement created a fantastic environment of growth and support that I try to emulate every single day.

I am a vocalist who was classically trained but am out of practice. Need help in reaffirming my breathing, mixed voice range and freeing up my sound healthily.

I am interested in voice lessons for my 7 yr old daughter. She has a beautiful voice and loves singing. I think with a coach she can develop an even more beautiful voice.
