A Little Bit About Me...

I began my musical journey learning the value of playing by ear from my father, a very skillful jazz trumpet player. I played in the local jazz workshop with accomplished musicians while in high school and was awarded a scholarship to the Jamey Aebersold Jazz clinic in Indiana. Also, I attended a Christian University where I was selected to play in a band that was on a televised show nationally for three years. After earning a music degree(BME),as well as the the Pressor Scholar award, I taught at an inner-city music school for five years and gave private lessons before and after school.
I have a passion for teaching children as well as adults how to use music as a tool for expression. I encourage listening to music and interacting with it (playing by ear with music selected by the student and/or teacher) in order to understand its langauage. My mission is to give to others what ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Spanish and teaching have always been passions of mine that I have been fortunate enough to make a career out of doing and using both. I have a bachelor's degree (BA) in Spanish with a teaching certificate and I am currently working on my Master of Arts in Curriculum and Instruction. I have taught for six years in the Northern Virginia area, Washington D.C. and in Independence, Missouri. I have also tutored students in Spanish of all levels, taught Spanish 1 and 2, as well as English as a Second Language.
Students have described me as a very caring and kind educator. I take the time to explain how and why things are different in foreign languages. In the beginning of the year (or when I get a new student), I take the time out to give the student a quiz that helps determine what learning style they are based off of seven different learning styles. This helps the students learn not o ... read more
