Get to Know Me

At Rain City Melodies, I believe that mobile lessons are the ultimate way to experience music education. If you're shopping around for a private music instructor, know that I offer offer unparalleled flexibility, convenience, and an education that many have told me, "I wish I had you as a music teacher when I was taking lessons."

 

With a mobile service, you no longer have to worry about traffic or carrying instruments to a distant studio; I bring the lesson directly to your home. For adult learners, squeezing a lesson into a packed and busy professional schedule is a breeze. If you're a parent, a mobile in-home lesson means that your child enjoys an engaging lesson, and you can easily tend to whatever it is you need to get done.

I am fluent with orchestral composition and would be delighted to guide you through technical work for performance or for auditions.

This keeps my daughter super moticvated and positively challenged throughout. He makes the effort to talk about things that interested her and made a personal connection with her.

The benefits of music and why I love to teach

"Music can name the unnameable and communicate the unknowable." 

-Leonard Bernstein

At my music school, I approach every lesson as if it were a performance. To me, it's as if each student’s development contributes to a larger, harmonious journey for everyone in the studio and beyond.

 

As an educator, I consider myself akin to an orchestral conductor, and continually learn more about myself and humanity alongside my students. There is something alluring about the celebration of the unique growth students and teachers alike experience that has led me to make teaching my lifetime commitment.  Whether it’s an adult student beginning their musical journey with their first music lessons or another refining their skills, the progress I witness is truly rewarding. The inspiration that comes from this progress and understanding is tangible to a degree that inspires my own personal music as well.

 

My dedication to each and every one of my students stems from the volition to serve as a guide. Teaching allows me to enable discovery, exploration, and creativity rather than the linear textbook approach.

 

Music offers numerous benefits, from enhancing cognitive abilities and creative thinking to instilling discipline and fostering emotional growth. I would like to invite you to reach out and see how we can begin your musical journey today.  You might find that your goals are not so difficult to achieve after all.

The Mozart Effect

"Music listening enhances or changes certain neural circuits, including the density of dendritic connections in the primary auditory cortex. The Harvard neuroscientist Gottfried Schlaug has shown that the front portion of the Corpus Callosum--the mass of fibers connecting the two cerebral hemispheres--is significantly larger in musicians than non musicians, and particularly for musicians who began their training early. This reinforces the notion that musical operations become bilateral with increased training, as musicians coordinate and recruit neural structures in both the left and right hemispheres."
