I am a graduate of Liberty University. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with cognates in Special Education and Christian Counseling and my Master's in Crisis and Trauma. While in college and since graduation, I have taught a myriad of subjects in homeschool co-ops, private schools, Christian schools, Public Charter Schools, and public schools. While I teach a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about music, French and math. I have been teaching private music lessons since 1989, individualizing all lessons and tutoring for each student, even in group classes. I am a strong proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. I am a firm believer that everyone can and should have equal opportunity to learn whatever they want to or need to. Everyone learns differently, so finding what works best for you is something we will do together. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, pastoring, crocheting, singing, playing instruments, and most of all spending time with family.

Students (Parents for younger students) will need to register for a free MusicTeacherNotes account. If you are a current student of mine at Berkshires Music Lessons and haven't registered your MusicTeacherNotes account, please click the orange button below. You will use the studio code (X8UVT) to connect your family account to my teacher account.
MusicTeacherNotes is free for students. They have an upgradable option available, called the Gold Plan, but upgrading is not required. I can manage our music lessons whether you use their free account or their Gold account.
MusicTeacherNotes helps music teachers manage their students and helps students learn music faster. By empowering parents and students to get much more out of private music lessons, learning music becomes a better experience for everyone.
