Intro Again?

A little intro and some things you should know about me:

I am a happy person. I rarely let myself fret or dwell on pain. I smile through life's ups and downs, awkward moments and good times. I listen to music or sing constantly, and I have many friends of all different backgrounds.

I am a piano teacher, and have been teaching for a little more than three years. I love it! There's something so special about connecting with a person over three years with a piano that makes my heart warm. I love how I've come to know my student's strengths and weaknesses; I can tailor their lessons and the music I pick for them to specifically target rough spots or to show off their skill. Music is a way to bond with someone in a deep meaningful way without the worry of saying the wrong thing, or feeling self-conscious; at least that is how I feel about music.

I have been playing the piano since I was 8 years old, and now I'm 19. I remember hating it in the beginning; my first teacher was not very connected to the music. She did not have a driving love for music to pass on to me. My second teacher helped me realize the subtleties of music that make it what it is. Now I dedicate my life to it as I sing, play, teach, and study music in college. I am currently at my second semester at the BYU Salt Lake center, hoping to transfer down to the Provo campus to officially start on my major, music education. I want to keep teaching piano privately, and hopefully pick up more students when I get the time.

As a person, I am a little bit of everything. I am a definite nerd, as well as a girly-girl who loves shopping, and getting dressed up. Science, especially physics, piques my interest, while math makes my head spin. I'd love to study physics further in college if it weren't for the math side of it. There's a thought sitting in the back of my mind wondering if I could just push through the math to get to the fun part of physics. We'll see...

In my free time, I like to hang out with friends, or my boyfriend. I play the piano, read, listen to music, write, play games, or relax.

In my non-free time, I work. I love my job! I work at a deli/market dealing in specialty meats and cheeses (and more). This may sound odd, or a menial job, but there is nothing like it! I love learning about new products, and some of the highest quality ingredients in the country. Well, speaking of work, I've got to leave right now to start my shift. More about my work later!
