My siblings and I all took piano lessons when we were young but I was the only survivor! As a piano teacher now, I believe in teaching in a fun and enjoyable way that would have helped my siblings persevere. Playing the piano and enjoying it with others has been a constant joy throughout my life.
No matter the age, everyone can benefit from learning music. Music helps babies, toddlers, and school aged children develop their brains that can happen in no other way. Music can help teenagers get through their hardest years as playing music builds their self esteem and confidence as well as using its amazing abilities to express emotions. Music can bring joy to adults as they become successful in learning something new. They enjoy their time playing, whether it is playing a fun song or a beautiful and passionate song.
Learning music brings balance into life. It transitions to learning better in school, persevering in other areas of life, managing and expressing our emotions in a healthy way, and is a great start to learning other instruments. I am passionate about nurturing a lifelong love of music and seeing students’ full potential realized."
I am certified at Forte School of Music and use that program mostly with other supplementary methods and materials. Forte is a fast paced, engaging way of learning music using our 3 main senses: auditory, visual, and kinesthetic.
Students will learn:

Although I love the piano, the organ is my favorite instrument to play. Growing up, I thought the organ was boring until I was introduced to it. I found that it is anything but boring! Learn the basics, how to give a congregation a strong spiritual experience, how to play beyond the basics, and/or enjoy secular organ music.
If you are interested in lessons, or your church wants you to play, come and learn more about the organ! Even if you have been playing for a while, there is always more to learn. Being able to play about 15 hymns well is a prerequisite to having organ lessons. There are 3 options for organ lessons.

One Time Lesson
Choose this option if your church wants you to play, but you don’t have the time to practice, aren’t interested in more lessons, or you just need to know enough to get by. This option will give you the information you need to manipulate the organ and be confident in playing. It is the survival kit you need to succeed.
The lesson will take place at the organ located at your church house. We will talk about that specific organ and all that you need to know to operate it. You will be responsible for making arrangements to have the building unlocked for us.
A $30 payment will be due at or before the lesson.
The lesson will be 1 hour.
Payment also covers a cheat sheet to help you remember what you learned.
Three Lessons
This option is for you if you want to learn how to operate the organ, but also understand the techniques of playing. We will cover the techniques briefly to give you an idea of how to play. Taking these three lessons will give you the tools to help you not only to play the organ, but play it beautifully. There is a difference between a piano player on the organ, and someone who understands how to play the organ. People listening will appreciate it!
One lesson will be at the organ you will be playing in your church house, and the other two will be in my home.
Each lesson will be 45 minutes.
Payment is $50 for all three lessons. Payment is due at or before the first lesson.
Lesson times will be decided by the student and the teacher. Options are once a day for three days in a week, once a week for three weeks, or whenever is convenient for both parties.
Payment includes a cheat sheet to help you remember what you learned in each lesson, as well as recommendations for music and items that will help you play.
Lessons By Semester
This option is best for you if you are playing for your church and want to inspire people and help give them a spiritual experience, or if you are interested in organ and want to learn how to play well. I cater to the student and provide music that they would like to learn. People will love listening to someone skilled with the organ, who actually knows how to play! Learn to play music on the organ that moves the soul, excites your spirit, or is incredibly joyful to play!
Lessons are 40 minutes.
Organ shoes are recommended, but not required. Inquire about options during lessons.
Semesters are from September to January and February to May. Tuition is $250 per semester. This amount may be paid monthly. Payment is due at or before the first lesson if paying by semester, or at or before the first lesson of the month if paying monthly.
If requested by the student, two lessons every semester may take place at the organ in their church house. The rest will be given at my home.
