I'm 24 years old, lived in Oklahoma City most of my life. Playing the drums for 10 years, I've learned a vast amount of Information over the modern drum kit. Being in over 20 bands of different genres and styles, I've been around a vast amount of different musicians. I will be able to focus on your, or your child's interest in what style, personality, and sound that is wanted specifically. I've worked in the sales, set-up, and performance of drums as a career, and teaching is my way of carrying on that inspiration and passion.

I am an Oklahoma Native who loves music and loves to teach people to reach their potential. I studied Classical (operatic) voice for more than11 years, with Judith Haddon of the Metropolitan Opera, Chicago Musical Collage, Brenda Seward-Johnson, University of Central Oklahoma, and the late Marsha Henderson, University of Oklahoma. I was a student at the Oklahoma Arts Institute, 1997, 1998 Music major and Graduate of Classen School of Advanced Studies. I have been writing and singing gospel/inspirational music for about 18 years. I have performed in musicals, plays, recitals, and professional bookings from every genre of music. I currently serve as director for a youth performing arts camp where I have been a lead- instructor for the past 4 years.

I have been playing the drum set in various bands for the past ten years. I have also been playing with the OKC Community Orchestra for the past two years. I have played in symphonic and jazz bands and a percussion ensemble. I have taught a percussion class as well as private lessons. I have recorded in the studio also. Rocking on stage is my favorite activity! I can teach you how to be an integral part of a band and play along to your favorites. I enjoy bringing out the best in a student and teaching to his/her strengths. Let's run!

My greatest desire is that I will instill in each of my students the love I have for making music. I consider it to be the language of the heart, and nothing equals the moment you realize you are hearing your thoughts and feelings in the music you are playing. What a priceless gift to give yourself!

Perhaps you've decided to become a professional musician, or maybe you've decided to follow a dream you've had for a lifetime, to play piano for your own enjoyment---whatever your goal is, I can lead you there! It's NEVER too late to follow a dream!

I am a classically-trained pianist, and received music education in Paraguay, South America; and at Southwestern Assemblies of God University, Waxahachie, TX. I have also excelled at playing many styles by ear. I am fortunate to also love teaching, which allows me the incredible privilege of sharing my musical knowledge and my love for playing with anyone who wants to join me on this amazing journey.

I have more than 27...
