Music Education

I love teaching because I love being able to watch students and those I work with develop themselves musically, artistically, and creatively! Just as others have shared their knowledge with me, I want to continue sharing the beauty of music with as many people as I can. I am also so inspired by seeing my students grow into blossoming musicians, especially when they get excited about learning something new!


I have been teaching music lessons for almost ten years, and my teaching style is shaped by building a personal relationship with each student, while providing a comfortable, challenging, and vibrant learning experience to allow the student to develop to their full potential. I achieve this by having a present awareness of my students and the music they are drawn to, while also presenting sheet music or chord sheets, making music book recommendations, giving notated handouts I’ve created, developing the musical ear with different exercises, and sharing my knowledge to broaden their perception of the world of music that we thrive in. I want to teach students how to become well-rounded individuals and to seek to continually improve and do their best.

I encourage everyone to dream big and do everything to its fullest potential, and to be the best you can be in whatever you choose to do, and to learn as much as you can from everyone you meet and everywhere you go.  If we meet for a piano lesson and each week you only walk away with having learned about music notation and dots on a page, then I will have failed as a music mentor. I would rather have you learn about developing your passions, setting and achieving short term and long term goals, improvement, and dedication to getting better at something. I hope to be remembered as someone who has helped enhanced peoples' lives with a passion for music, confidence with creative expression, and as someone who has helped others achieve their dreams, and I love being able to do this through teaching music
