My experience as a musical theatre performer both onstage and in the pit, have given me many useful and resourceful teaching methods that have allowed a humble program in an urban district to blossom and thrive. In five years, the chorus of 18 singers reading lyrics sheets, has performed as guests throughout Hudson County and returned to the Teen Arts Festival with repertoire such as Mozart’s Ave Verum, Dan Davidson’s Ritmo, and several contemporary pieces.

Typically I break my lessons into two parts; half dedicated to learning songs, and the other half dedicated to learning chords. For songs I'll start out with very basic melody songs (beginners), eventually working in power chords and tackling classic rock favorites, and finally incorporating chords/barre chords/soloing. If the student is interested in playing a particular style of music my goal is to eventually focus on that style in our lessons. Read More

Over the past 10 years I have had students ranging from 9 years old (beginner) to in their 50's (advanced). My main musical styles are rock, pop, jazz, and blues. Read More

Along with each guitar song mapping, my student receives the correct connection of the audio (song) from YouTube for the respective guitar chord mapping. The student writes in the number of the chord, example, I - IV - VI - V (One Four six Five chord progression) and sometimes the letter of the chord, from the previous example, let's say key of A (A - D - F#m - E) This method I have created, allows my guitar students to learn theory, play by ear, learn great guitar songs, and feel comfortable playing in front of an audience.

Hello! Music is my life. I am constantly driven by music and I find inspiration in working with students to help them find their musical potential as well. Studying intensively at Mesa College was both rewarding as it was challenging, but working with my Berklee mentors was without question the moments that helped me as a musician, and I wish to share that with all aspiring students.

I will teach each student based on what they already know, and the lessons will progress at the pace that is best for that particular student. Once the fundamentals have been learned the lessons can become more personal and adhere to the style of music and songs that the student would like to learn while still expanding on technique. My early guitar experience is mostly self taught so I am experienced in the type of songs that beginners can pick up on. Read More

I am a passionate and motivated instructor who specializes in working with young beginning musicians. My experience as a former elementary school general music teacher and band director has provided me with the insight to support students to succeed in those environments. Music has afforded me the opportunity to travel the world as a performer and, it is my goal to support my students so they may also have the same experiences. Read More

When will I start to see results?
Mostly you can get some results right away on the lesson. This I call discoveries. But to keep them and nail them you would need to practice them for a while, depending on your level, previous habits and a lot of other factors it can take different time. In average for singing, I would say it takes 6 month to a year to see a real improvement. But this fully depends on the intensity of your practice. If you practice 6 days a week with one day of silence and your daily practice is at least 15-20 minutes (I'd say 45 minutes to an hour is the perfect time) plus you see a teacher at least once a week, it'll bring amazing results! Try it for 3 months straight and if I am wrong, please let me know
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite genre is Musical Theater. Maybe because a theater is my biggest passion ever, but also maybe because the music for Musical Theater is so different and the singing styles can vary from show to show. I love that in Musical Theater you really can sing everything
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I always warm up first for 5-10 minutes. Then depending on how much time I have I either do some exercises for another 20-30 minutes or get to learning the song right away. I am usually using the recordings from my previous sessions with my vocal teacher to nail the exercises that we tried on the session. When learning the song I am usually repeating the melody first to make sure I didn't miss any notes ... It happens so often to everyone! I am usually use the sheet music and play the melody to myself in a slow tempo and make sure I hit all the notes correctly/ Then, depending on how ready is my song I either sing it in an original tempo with a backing track or a little slower, so I pronounce all the words correctly and, again, hit all the right notes. And when I feel like technically it is ready, I start practicing the intonation and artistry.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I think the hardest thing is to keep believing in yourself. Especially when you try to get into the professional world. Sometimes you feel like you worked so hard, but you are still not good enough... But this is a wrong impression! Believe in yourself, there is nobody else like you! Be patient, be consistent, analyze your practice always, fix your mistakes and you will see how quickly you are getting results.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I decided to be a singer when I was 9. I don't remember the exact moment, but I remember the feeling of confidence. Funny that before I decided to become a performer, I wanted to be a teacher. I even tried a little teaching session with kids from first grade when I was in third grade.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your kid shows a passion to singing (or any other music instrument) and he or she has developed the voluntary attention they are ready for private lessons. The voluntary attention usually is being formed by 7 years old, but different people are different. The voluntary attention is attention that is deliberately applied and controlled by the individual.
But still, just listen to your kid. They do have a right to change their mind later, but if they show a passion or the interest to some particular subject, just let them try.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice at least 10 minutes a day, 6 days a week. Consistency is the most effective method. Record your practice with your teacher and practice at home again using this recording, try to analyze your recording and fix mistakes.
