Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to achieve even greater challenges.

I couldn't imagine my life without teaching. To nurture a love for music in another, especially a child, is a gift I would not give up. I strive to find the correct balance of technique and performance, practice and play, focus and fun for each of my students. Every one of them comes to me with different skills, ambitions, and needs; building honest, open relationships with student, parent, and teacher is essential to meeting those needs. Read More

Teaching people what they want to know and feeding their enthusiasm has been the best thing about teaching for me. Understanding what a student already knows, seeing where there may be gaps to fill and what new material they are ready for makes it a exciting experience for both the student and me. Using material that interests them and moving ahead in a way that encourages and rewards their effort gives them a true sense of accomplishment and heightens their enjoyment of the lessons and their own improved ability.

'm here to motivate and inspire. There is no one right approach to learning music and I'm adept at understanding how each individual learns. I can help to formulate and achieve goals or simply offer an expressive outlet that is safe, enlightening and encouraging. I offer mentorship and help with choices, in a professional or recreational capacity, within the music and entertainment fields. I facilitate the most enjoyable approach to practice so my students develop skills, confidence and a love of music. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Turn off everything else. Don't have a phone, tablet, computer, or TV near where you are practicing. I find that eliminating all distractions makes it easier to be more efficient with practicing. Set the specific time aside for practicing each day and during that time do nothing else. Also being prepared to practice before you start is important. Have water, a metronome, a pencil, and an eraser along with your music. This also help to keep the flow of practicing so that you don't have to stop and find things part way through.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
For Piano, I think the best way to determine if your child is ready for music lessons is to simply observe how he/she reacts to music, their interest level in instruments, and how often they engage in musical activities. I started piano at age 4, but many other musicians I have worked with started around age 6. That age makes it easier for the child to learn easy repertoire since their reading skills are starting to develop more.
For Voice, never before puberty. If a child does start earlier than that, I would only do breathing exercises and the most basic of scales. Starting too early can cause serious harm to the voice in the long term.
When will I start to see results?
It all depends on the student. Some students will see results immediately, new things are learned, practiced, and improvement happens in what feels like overnight. Others will need more time to understand the music and progress. It all depends on the time put in to the practicing and if the practicing is done efficiently and correctly.
For voice, it can also depend on vocal maturity. Younger students will see slower progress than more vocally mature students because of the vocal development. Techniques can improve, but the sound might not be completely different.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I have multiple teachers who inspired me, but two in particular stand out.
One was my Church Choir Director, Susan Garr. She worked with my from age 5 and always pushed me to be the best I could be. She inspired me to get into music at a young age and kept pushing me into music ever since then. She also knew when to be real with me about my goals and aspirations. She didn't want me going into the world of performance blindly.
The other was Curt Peters, my current voice teacher. He has pushed my voice to a place I never knew it would reached and has been very supportive and critical at times. He has made sure to keep my passion alive even when I would sometimes question it.
