I have grown up in the wonderful world of music and my passion is to give you or your children the tools they need to be successful and have fun in both vocal studies and piano studies I was born and raised in Michigan, and have been studying music since age 4.

Instruments: Piano Voice
For beginning students, I use the Piano Adventure Series by Nancy Faber and Randall Faber. I also use the A Thousand Stories for a Little Pianist by Katrin Arefy. My special methods in teaching young students include stories, easy duets, and singing familiar folk songs. For intermediate level students, I use different method books according to the student's interests. However, I encourage them to play Classical music, which is very useful in developing good techniques in piano playing. 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

I have had the opportunity to work with some extraordinary musicians in my career and have come to understand the importance of not only teaching solos but also coming together as a team. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Organ
For beginner students who are pursing music on the tonal instruments, I typically start with learning the names of the notes on the instrument and the major scale in every key as it relates to the piano. For the bass guitar I start of with basic finger strength techniques and exercises while incorporating the major scale fingering form and Nashville numbering system for all tonal instruments. For voice, I start off by finding the range of the individual and then teaching warmup techniques while building the individuals technique through finding a song and learning how to sing along.

Instruments: Bass Guitar
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I use a curriculum that my teacher gave me that he got through the Musicians Institute back in the 80s. I also use multiple programs by Charlie Fechter for basic sight reading and rhythm, specifically the book "Reading Music or Golf Clubs on Fences I have Known."
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I'm the most proud of being able to make a living off of music alone. My goal in college was to be able to support myself off live gigs, tours, recording, and teaching and still be able to live comfortably. And so far so good!
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Many students have gone to make their high school jazz bands and won outstanding soloist awards in various jazz competitions such as the prestigious Reno Jazz Band Festival.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on the bass is making appropriate decisions in a band ensemble. I think that just comes with years of experience of speaking the language of whatever genre you're in to "say" the right thing at the right time.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
When I was 8, my dad put on a DVD of Earth, Wind, and Fire live in concert and I saw bassist Verdine White dancing around and playing bass. I instantly fell in love with the low end and simplicity but intentionality of the instrument. Since that moment I knew I wanted to play bass and be the backbone of the band.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing 15 minutes every day is way more effective than an hour every few days. Having a small but specific goal of what your'e trying to accomplish during that practice session is important to prevent getting distracted.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If he/she loves music then they're ready! The passion and interest to start playing is more than enough to kickstart any student on any instrument. If the child has a decent attention span and preferably can read and write, then they're ready.
When will I start to see results?
Everyone's progress and learning rate is different but with consistent work every day with and away from the lesson, noticeable progress will be evident in a few months.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My father is a drummer and the bass player in his band inspired me to pick up the bass. He went to Musicians Institute back in the 80s and showed me how to take the craft seriously so you can have fun with it and be free. He inspired me to be as versatile as possible because he could play any genre proficiently.
