Piano And Keyboards
About
I have been playing piano and keyboard for many years. The last 12 years I have been the worship leader at our church, playing keyboard and singing. I would love to jhave the opportunity to teach others the enjoyment and relaxation that I find when playing music.
I enjoy teaching others and being a part of their excitement as they learn.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
The very first lesson will be all about you. I like to get to know a little bit about you - have you ever played an instrument and do you read music? After that I like to discuss what style of music you prefer and what method would best fit your learning style.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I play piano, keyboard and trumpet. I have been a worship leader at our church for many years, leading by keyboard and voice. I took music lessons while I was in school, both piano and trumpet. I was in band and choir for several years.
How did you get started teaching?
I have not taught piano lessons before, but I have a long history of playing piano and keyboards. For the last 15 years I have worked as a nanny and before that I spent a long time working as a Youth leader, so I have worked and enjoyed helping others to grow and learn.
What types of students have you worked with?
As a nanny and then youth leader, I have taught children and teens for quite some time. I have also been a small group leader at our church, teaching adults. I enjoy working with all ages and skill levels.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I would look for someone who has a personality that encourages, and shows patience and understanding. I would want a teacher that has experience in music which is greater than your own.
