Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet
Music has always been my number 1 passion, and I have taught private music lessons since I was in high school. Since graduating with my Master's degree in 2011, I have become a certified music teacher for grades K-12. I modify all lessons depending on the student to best suite the students needs and prepare them for the maximum learning experience. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Synthesizer Double Bass
For young beginners, I typically start with keyboard exercises and basic lessons in music theory fundamentals and ear training. Upon mastery of a few fundamental skills, students are introduced to a range of compositions that they can choose to learn to study and to play. For all my students at various levels, I assess their abilities and consistently challenge them to sharpen their skills. Now i'm incorporating concentration, breathing, counting and stretching exercises. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet
The approach I take is individualized and utilizes multiple teaching methods. Every student brings unique qualities and different interests and it is my job to find a way to connect those qualities and interests to music. One thing I emphasize is continued learning. If we are working on fundamentals of piano technique I find a way to slowly introduce more concepts that will be developed later on in our lessons. Read More
Instruments: Piano Synthesizer Keyboard
I strongly believe that learning is an extremely personal endeavor. I am very sensitive to each student's style of learning. I like to get to know what inspires each student and help them fuel their own inspiration. I really think the learning should come from them. Sometimes I see myself as a facilitator, helping ushering in the calling that is already within. I am very good at helping the student set realistic goals. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Trombone
I am a strong advocate in fusing together practice and performance. I personally have had teachers that focused too much on technical studies and theory, and not enough time on incorporating those skills into performance; which is the main reason why many people have a desire to learn a musical instrument. In my lessons, I focus on developing skills that are essential to my student's overall musical development. These skills include music theory, ear training, rhythmic analysis, technique, and finally, applying all those skills into a performing setting. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I started playing piano at the age of 8. Since then I have studied throughout my grade and high school years with a number of teachers and college professors. I continued my musical education after being accepted to the internationally renowned William Paterson University's Jazz Studies Program (consistently ranked in the top 5 jazz programs in the nation) at which I studied for two years. I am a professional musician who has participated in a wide variety of gigs including weddings, corporate events, bands, churches and commercial composing. Read More

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
My student Patrick Wilhelm, Baritone, has graduated from the Curtis Conservatory of Music and is now singing as a principal artist with Virginia Opera and Wolftrap Opera Company in DC. He has sung in recitals internationally and has excellent reviews!
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Music does run in my family. My grandfather was a well-know Jazz musician photographer. We grew up listening to jazz and classical musical day and night. My brother became a well know Jazz musician and teacher in San Francisco. He plays Clarinet, Sax and flute. He is a recording artist and travels all over the world spreading jazz from place to place. He is the conductor of a Cartoon Jazz Band, Saxophone Sextet and two Big Bands.
I travelled the classical route beginning in Jr High School. After my college studies, I went to work with The New York City Opera with The wonderful Beverly Sills. Following that, I started my own Acapella chorus called “Ah-Capella” which performed in various NYC venues. Broadway then was my calling, where I stayed in the producing and casting sector for a decade. i have been teaching Voice and Piano privately for two decades. I also sing in The Cecilia Chorus of New York which performs twice a year in Carnegie Hall. I am a Section Leader with this extraordinary chorus which I have been sing with for nine years.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing about being a singer/musician, is that every day is different. Since singers depend on their breath to support their tone, we must treat out instrument, which are our bodies, with great care. Humidity, cold, performing environment, all play into how we may breathe and produce sound. As a pianist as well, I know when I need to play an A, it will be there on the piano every time. Singers must warm up and nurture their instrument to the best of their ability so they can produce that A everyday.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Look forward to practicing. It is a wonderful investment in your musicianship. It is time you deserve to focus on your craft. Isolate the specified measures that need the extra time. Repetition is key. Set a goal, i.e, “ I will play these four measures perfectly five consecutive times.” If you make an error during the third time, you must start from the first time. After you have completed this goal, implement it into the piece and your practice time will be golden.
