Instruments: Voice
I'm fairly new to teaching. I had the opportunity to co-lead the soprano section in my university choir for a year, which gave me my first taste of what teaching other people was like. I loved it, because it allowed me to step into something bigger than myself: helping other people learn how to sing together well! After graduating from William Jessup University I began to intern at my church, where I started teaching group lessons. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Conga Latin Percussion
I was raised up in Northern California in the arts of music and dance since a young age of three. I started lessons in Oakland, CA in dance, music and acrobats with Peggy and Leon Valdez and then tap performance and theater arts with Chorlene and Art Duane in Hayward, CA. I became very active in elementary school choirs with music instructor, Ms. Bell. My father was head coach for Oakland Dynamites-Pop Warner in which I would do cheerleading and coordinate field marches. Read More

Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced I taught piano for years looking for a method that was comprehensive, engaging, creative and practical, I make learning easy, even to the point where you don't have to do too much sight reading and be able to learn a favorite song you here on the radio within 30 mins. Your musical goals are my number one concern by providing you with a solid foundation in which to grow in any direction of your choosing. Read More

No matter the skill level, I like to keep my curriculum concise, applicable, and easy for all students to understand. I begin with a crash course in music fundamentals to give students a classical understanding of their playing, reading, and writing techniques. Next, I teach them scales, chords, and playing techniques that correlate with their level of playing and music comprehension. Once they have mastered said curriculum I teach them songs that they are genuinely interested in. Read More
Instruments: Voice Music
I began teaching voice lessons during my vocal pedagogy class, while getting my Masters Degree. I have been teaching consistently for a total of seven years. I began teaching for acommunity school for the arts in Muncie, IN. After I graduated with my MastersDegree, I taught lessons for a children's theater company in Manitowoc, WIuntil I started my Performer's Certificate. I taught foranother community arts school during my Performer's Certificate in DeKalb, IL. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trombone
For beginners, I like to start with the Standard of Excellence book 1, and intermediate students with book 2. The trombone is such a versatile instrument that there are tons of different styles of playing to practice. Depending on the student's level I will build curriculum for them. We will also play duets together, because it's very important to learn how to play well with others. Scales, lip slurs, and other exercises will be implemented as well. Read More

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Since I believe that building a relationship with my students is fundamental to my effectiveness with them, typically, I'll ask the student how they are doing, how their past week has been for them. if they have a crisis, I give them time to vent and decompress--if all is well, we'll do a brief social catch-up, we smile and get into the lesson...
Structurally, my protocol after that initial socializing is:
1-- I ask if everything we discussed/practiced last week made sense...
2--If not we review the questioned items...
3--I ask "What did you take home from last lesson"
4--They demonstrate --and I assess their progress...
5-I themn move into my lesson plan, couching it in terms of whta was touched on lasrt week....
6--We close the lesson with an assignment of how to take the skill/technique of today's lesson into actual practice at home, This typically involve me demonstrating on via a phone video camera...
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My Msaters in related to the field of Education
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I have the grace every weekend of being a choir director who helps choristers enjoy the delight of singing their hearts out while we as a group help feed the hearts and souls of the folks who come to the table...
I have published scores of songs that have become staples of weekly Sunday services...
I have over my teaching career helped hundreds of students express their joy in song and in their instruments...
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Indeed, having taught for 30 years+, I have proudly watched many of my students become professional musicians and teachers themselves...Such is a joy indeed to see student live their passion....
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
As with any instrument, with the guitar and the voice, it is not about simple "getting eh right note.." That's eh easy part--IT's COMMUNICATING the intent and power of that note and the passage that is the true purpose of this and any art....
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Through my education I have been exposed to all of these approaches, and they each in their way have influenced my rather eclectic pedagogical philosophy.
My first task with a student is to carefully assess where thy are, how thy learn, and what they want to learn----From there, I draw from each of thse methodologies the techniques and approaches that best meet each student's particular needs.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I've always been a singer, so choosing an instrument that would allow me to also sing was definitely a more logical choice that tuba...
My parents were not wealthy, so a $100 guitar was more realistic than a $5,000,piano, so, guitar it was!
