I teach according to your individual needs. I help you become successful on piano, violin, viola, bass, guitar. I help you learn the instrument and learn to read music with my own ideas using fun worksheets and songs you really like to learn how to play. I fill your voids with activities such as practice techniques, sub-lessons, and ear training. I guide you toward proper posture, tone development, and the ability to keep a steady beat. I help you develop your musical independence by tweaking lessons to help you succeed. I believe talent is not a factor in learning. Mastering an instrument is the result of effective instruction and step by step guidance toward foundations and skills. I love to teach private lessons because I believe in spreading the word to make the great gift of playing music available to many. It is an inherited right and gift to enjoy a lifetime of personal satisfaction from playing a musical instrument. I love to help students build confidence and make...

I am a 3 time Emmy award winner and pro performer in Las Vegas. I LOVE to share my love of music with children and adults!! I promise you will not only learn but Love to learn and perform! I teach a variety of musical instruments as well as voice and look forward to igniting a musical fire in YOU!!!

Hi well let's see...I have been playing the viola (looks like a violin if you don't know) since I was twelve and have had the privilege of playing third seat in the Las Vegas Youth Orchestras, was a member of the Directors Choice Orchestra, and have played in the CSN and UNLV orchestras. I have recently expanded my performing arts repertoire (whoa I spelled that right on the first go!) to include singing, dancing, and acting as part of the Las Vegas theater community, and I recently had the opportunity to play the viola on stage in a musical.
I love the performing arts and I enjoy giving the others to take part in them!

I have had 16 years of classical violin private lessons, 9 years of orchestral experience, 7 years of chamber orchestras, and have been in 2 bands. I toured Europe my senior year in high school, and have volunteered for several benefit concerts. I specialize in teaching kids K-12th grade in classical violin, sight reading, and music theory. I have had several students audition and make the Las Vegas Youth Orchestra and violin chamber groups. I will offer the opportunity to learn music in general, not just the violin. Training in classical violin is the best way to get the skill you need to eventually play any genre you desire in the future.

I started playing violin and clarinet at the age of 11. I graduated from UCLA with a B.A. in music performance Clarinet. While attending school, I was fortunate to assist with the research for a book written by Earl L. Stewart entitled :African-American Music: An Introduction" I have also had the opportunity to teach students for the past 10 years.

Currently, I am a Clarinetist with the UNLV Community Band and also play violin as well. Music is a great passion and a joy. I have been blessed to learn to play clarinet and violin. No matter what instrument I play, music has always influenced my life and has given me a way of artistic expression.

I look forward to share my joy and knowledge with my students.

I received my degree from the University of Utah in instrumental music education. Along with specialized training in band and orchestra instruments, I also offer lessons in guitar, banjo, mandolin, and harmonica in playing and performance. When a student has a song they want to learn, I focus lessons around the requested song. I also have an extensive library of songs that I utilize. My music methodology is built around a song book that also has a CD attached. This has proven to be a lot of fun for all my students. It makes practice time more fun as they "play along" with the CD.
