For piano the first part of the lesson is always technique (like doing push ups and running laps before u get on the court or field). Scales, Hanon, arpeggios etc... Then working on reading music and learning repertoire. Also fun parts, which depend on the student. Fun parts could be learning chord progressions of their favorite songs or writing their own music, or learning an cool jazz or rock jam song, learning how to be comfortable improvising, jamming with others etc..

Instruments: Voice
I began teaching informally to other musicians as part of my music practice, and found that I had a love of passing on what I've learned. I began teaching voice and beginning piano in 2019, and have kept it up ever since. I have taught pre-K children through adult professionals, with every age and skill level in between. In voice lessons I allow students to pick repertoire - you should learn what inspires you! - and help them identify techniques that can be used to develop their unique voice. Read More

Music has always been a part of my life. I became involved in music, theater and dance at a young age, performing in countless professional productions. In my teens and early adulthood, I began writing and recording music and became involved in a number of recording projects that led me to teaching. I gave my first lesson over a decade ago and I continue to perform when I can. I graduated from Interlochen Arts Academy with concentrations in Theater and Music, and I worked for Women's Audio Mission in San Francisco. 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.
