Music Lessons in Smithville, MO. It's your time.

I am a really patient violin/viola professor with vibrant energy, and always willing to find the best method to teach each of my students within their own individuality. Although I was trained with the Suzuki Method and the traditional violin school, I also have a passion for current pop, indie, and alternative music. I believe that being creative and combining technical and musical violin lessons with music that we hear every day makes a more enjoyable experience for students and for me! that is why I am developing an etude library that will be accessible for my students with the combination of both worlds!

I began playing the viola 24 years ago and have been teaching it for 12 years. I start beginning viola students from the book "Essential Elements". Once the basic foundations are laid out we move on to scale, etude, and solo books.

American String Teachers Association has opened up a NEW VIOLIN PROGRAM at the University of Missouri - Kansas City Conservatory of Music and Dance! The lessons are for all ages and skill levels. The price per lesson is only $20, because we want to provide high quality instruction, plus conservatory connections and support to as many musicians as we possible can!

Teaching Philosophy:
I teach piano lessons in a caring, warm and encouraging manner.
I teach the lessons from younger kids that are above the age of 5 to adults. I encourage people from all the back ground and experience to learn the music and enjoying the time of learning and playing. My strength is in classical style especially Baroque, Classical, Romantic and Impressionism. But I also enjoy teaching Jazz and New Age Music.
From the year of 2012, I started to teach students ...

My passion and specialty is working with women to activate, strengthen, release and empower their natural singing voices.

If you already love to sing and are seeking some guidance around how to best support yourself to sing freely, to activate and strengthen your voice and to unlock that next level of potential that you know lies within, I would love to work with you!

Or if you have always wanted to sing because you know it will bring more joy, expression and fulfilment into your life but you are unsure where to begin, let me support you in this exciting journey of accessing, activating and freeing your voice!

I will give you practical steps and exercises that WILL bring results, and will work with you on your songs of choice (or suggest some that will suit your voice and range) so we can get you falling in love with the sound that comes out of you!

To become an oboist, it is important to not only learn the music, but to put a little bit of yourself into every note you play. Playing such a unique and beautiful instrument like the oboe is a joy that I look forward to experiencing with each of my students. Every oboe lesson is customized to the individual's desires and needs. Throughout lessons, we will work on basic fundamentals, repertoire, and musicianship. With over 6 years of teaching experience, I am confident that you will be playing in no time! I also specialize in reed-making, and love helping students with their reeds, as well as sell personalized reeds.
