Welcome, students! I invite you to draw on my background and expertise to answer your educational questions. Let's sit down together, and talk through whatever challenges you are facing. I will work to strengthen your skillset and give you resources and ideas to become an independent learner. We can practice together skills that you would like to improve.

I have over 15 years experience teaching Music in both public and private schools. I hold a Masters of Music in Choral Conducting, and have taught Choir, General Music, Beginning Strings, Beginning Band, and private piano lessons. My main instrument is the piano, and my secondary instrument is the voice. I also play the organ. My B.A. is in English, and I spent time tutoring in Hood College's Writing Center for a semester; I also worked on the school newspaper as a copyeditor and assistant editor for four years. I was a student editor for Hood College's Honor Program publication.

I can help you with your Music Theory homework, with practicing dictation or sight-singing skills, or with writing or editing essays for English class. I can help you respond to English literature or understand a passage you are reading. I will challenge you to develop your understanding and critical thinking skills so you can apply the knowledge you have learned in school or on a test.
I look forward to meeting you!

Ear Training

Ear Training

I have completed graduate-level ear training studies while completing my Master's degree in Choral Conducting. I established an adult sight-singing class as a graduate student for members of our local community choir, which they all found helpful. I have also taught high school choir and incorporated the solfege syllables into their sight-reading practice.
General Music

General Music

I have been designing lesson plans and teaching music to students of all ages from preschool through high school in the states of Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut and Montana. I currently hold licensure in the state of Montana, where last year I taught at a small rural PreK-8 school, including preparing students for festivals, teaching recorder and basic elements of reading music, and providing early music experiences to young children.
Piano

Piano

I hold a minor in Piano Performance from Hood College and have taught private lessons since 2003. I have taught at a School's Afterschool program. I regularly perform as a piano accompanist at local high schools, including festivals, and was accompanist for New York's Region 10 Women's Choir one year.
