I genuinely love what I do and I am highly skilled. I emphasize the skills that are hardest to learn without a teacher—my goal is for music to be an integral part of the rest of your life, whether or not you're taking lessons. What I love most about teaching is hearing the slow, steady progress my students make week after week and being an integral part of it. There’s nothing like it!
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I was sought out as a teacher while I was still an undergraduate student. I started with just one student, and the rest is history!
What types of customers have you worked with?
All kinds! Teaching each and every student is an adventure to me, so I do love my work. I'm capable of teaching advanced students, but most of my students are beginners. It's thrilling to see progress.
Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
My studio recital on August 26. My beginning students played duets for the first time, AP played a whole Mozart Sonata, and KM played a very difficult transcription of video game music he'd been working on for over 5 months!
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
For piano lessons, look for someone who puts the highest importance on counting out loud while playing and on reading the music. Those are two extremely important skills that are very hard to develop without a good teacher.
What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
Whether or not they're able to commit to quality daily practice, even if it's limited. The more of a beginner you are the more incremental your progress is, so frequency of practice is important.
