For piano I prefer Faber Piano Adventures and have different books I would recommend starting with depending on the students age and experience. For guitar and ukulele I prefer using the Hal Leonard method books. I often supplement these method books with outside sources and pieces as is appropriate for the student. For singing students, I have a wide variety of books and resources depending on the musical style. I come from a classical voice background, so when students are middle school age and older (sometimes earlier) we begin learning Italian Art songs in addition to musical theater pieces and English folk songs.

I can motivate the student into putting forth that effort.

I began working with children at the age of 15, working in a daycare.  I immediately knew that I loved working with kids and I continued in that field.  I have worked as a preschool teacher up to a 5th grade teacher.  As music has always been my passion, I pursued a degree in music where I learned piano and studied voice privately.  There I learned many techniques and strategies for teaching others.
