I cater my teaching style to each student's age, skill level and personality. I have a patient, relaxed teaching style but I'm always ready and willing to push the student as far as they want to go, encouraging them to try their best. Lessons are usually organized into a section focused on technique and music theory followed by a period dedicated to playing songs together, polishing up repertoire and focusing on playing music in real time, together as an ensemble.

In addition to teaching music techniques and theoretical knowledge, I also place great emphasis on stage performance training. I encourage students to participate in school concerts, competitions, and community performances, as these are excellent opportunities for them to showcase their talents. I provide them with support and guidance to help students overcome stage fright and become true masters of music performance! My favorite part is witnessing the growth and progress of my students.

Each student learns at their own pace. Though I do have a consistent method for teaching, I first like to see what a student's level of playing and understanding of music is before we move forward so I can see where the student needs improvement. Although we will work on fundamentals, I work with students so that my lessons can be fun, educational, inspiring, and suited for each student's needs. Read More
Instruments: Piano Clarinet
I do not have a set typical method I use for all my students because everyone is different. I begin with assessing a new student to find what their goals are and their commitment level is. All of my students find their lessons to be challenging, but my goal is to also provide them with a nurturing and creative atmoshpere. My students find that they make significant improvement every week. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Ukulele Mandolin Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I'm a passionate musician and teacher and would love to be your instructor! My love and experience is primarily in guitar, voice, and piano. I graduated from Gordon college in 2008 with a degree in music education and taught K-8 grade for several years, which included directing children's choirs, teaching private lessons, and teaching general music to many ages. Teaching keyboard and singing was a highlight in the classroom setting. After a few years of teaching I became a mom and have transitioned from full time teaching to raise my three girls. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
Understanding a style of a musical composition is always an important part of my teaching process. There are three elements of how I see a complex musician: emotional reaction to music, intelligent understanding of a musical composition, and the technical ability playing the piece. I always project a long-term and a short-term plans with my students. I believe only mutual interest and collaborate engagement would bring us to the goal. Read More

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I think the hardest thing to master on my instrument is improvisation. Recently I have been practicing improvisation both in the Bluegrass and Jazz genres on the violin, and it takes a lot of practice and creativity to be able to think quickly and put your ideas into action.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
When I practice, I liked to begin by warming up. Whether it's practicing violin, guitar, piano, or voice, I like to do some body stretches because it's important to get your whole body aligned and ready to focus. Then, I do some scales or simple exercises. During the bulk of the session, I like to focus on parts of my pieces that are difficult. I break them down and play them more slowly, and often put the melodies to different rhythms to help get the songs in my fingers. Using a metronome to keep the time and slowly increase the speed can be very helpful as well. I like to really delve into my practice, giving myself at least an hour to focus.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
For beginners, I use the Essential Elements for Strings books. I choose this method because it gives a very logical and strong foundation on position techniques and note reading. Then, once the student has begun to explore this side of written music theory, I like to introduce ear training techniques. I was partially trained in Suzuki violin, a method where you largely learn by ear. As an instrumentalist who is very comfortable both reading music and learning by ear, I know how crucial it is to have both skills. This makes you a much more versatile musician in that you are both listening carefully to the music you play and playing it precisely.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
When I was 5, I knew that I wanted to play the violin. My father and older sister both played, and I was extremely inspired by that. I loved the sweet sound of the instrument, and the fact that you could play "fiddle" music on it too.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
In high school, after a rigorous series of auditions, I was extremely proud to be selected as a first violinist for the NAfME All Eastern Orchestra (an orchestra consisting of players all over the East Coast).
At age 20, I wrote, produced, and released my first recording project called Trust a Dream. The process of conducting a band and bringing my vision to life is the musical moment I am the most excited and proud of in my life thus far.
In 2018, I was also selected both in the Spring and the Fall as a Finalist in the International John Lennon Songwriting Competition. It was extremely fulfilling to be recognized internationally for my work as a songwriter.
