Instruments: Piano
I began teaching when I started studying with Berklee. Admittedly, I wasn't entirely sure how to take on such a job, but soon discovered that it was something that came naturally to me, and something I enjoyed doing. I have taught students of varying levels, from a complete beginner unable to read any music, to someone who was able to sightread proficiently. I like to take the time to know what my student's goals are, and help them work towards achieving them. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Trumpet Trombone Drums Bass Guitar Organ Synthesizer Double Bass Euphonium Tuba Orchestral Percussion Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
For each instrument, I have the same basic approach: discover what they like, assess what they can do, and begin with the fundamentals. If a student is more advanced, I still like to spend time on fundamentals at the beginning anyway to see if we can fill in any foundational weakness that the student may have. For each instrument, I also have a wide array of repitoire that I give students that zero-in on technical challenges a student will be presented with. Read More
Instruments: Piano
For beginning students who are children, I typically start with the Faber series, along with accompanying primer theory and lesson book. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. In addition to this, I typically start to add scale exercises to increase strength and speed in one's fingers. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Read More
Instruments: Piano Organ Synthesizer Keyboard
Everything stems from the goal(s) set. We work out a plan to reach those goals and a realistic pace to move at. I also leave room for and expect a moving goal post. Inspiration is heavy the more concepts are successfully explored and understood. I expect the best from my students; nothing more, nothing less. We will not downplay accomplishments or progress, especially when things take longer than expected. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Organ Synthesizer
Every student is different. Music Theory, various styles and forms and performance are all important and part of the main focus. I also like them to learn songs and styles that they enjoy. It's important for them to pick up their instrument every day, develop their calluses and coordination. I find this not only encourages them to play and explore more on their own, but keeps their focus on developing their own style. Read More
Instruments: Piano Oboe Bassoon
I have always had an eclectic love for all things music, and enthusiastically share it with anyone who will have me! There was a piano in my house growing up and I couldn't stay away. In school, I studied oboe and bassoon. Eventually I just explored any instrument that caught my interest- guitar, trumpet, ocarinas, panflutes, etc. I spent a lot of time doing musical theatre, and studied voice for a time as well.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
I have been privately teaching piano, trumpet, and guitar lessons since 2013. Since 2016, I have consistently been hired as a substitute teacher for various classes at the Flint School of Performing Arts, including but not limited to Young Musicians Classes, Little Mozart Classes, and Piano Classes. I am also the former Vice President and acting President of the University of Michigan-Flints National Association for Music Educators Collegiate association, as well as the former Social Media chair for the State of Michigans National Association for Music Educators Collegiate association.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Your child is ready to start learning music as soon as they express interest in music. This can be as early as 3 years old. Students can start learning piano or recorder as early as 3 or 4 years old. For brass instruments if a child expresses interest they can start as early as age 8 or 9 years old. For all music students a basic familiarity with the piano keyboard is a great asset.
When will I start to see results?
Students should see results after one or two lessons, and will continue to grow and flourish as time passes. The best indicator early on is that they are motivated to practice at home. For younger students parental guidance may be re required
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
As the 5th of six children in my family, my older sibling started playing music when I was very young, and since we had a Piano in the house, I would often play. I started Piano lessons in 2nd or 3rd grade. My High school Band director was a great inspiration for me, and after a couple of years in band I know that I wanted to be a conductor. I could see myself in his shoes saying a lot of the things he told the band. Prior to that I had always wanted to be a Math professor which was inspired by my favorite uncle who was a math professor. Although I have two Music degrees, I never lost my interest in math, and am a certified teacher of both Music and Math!
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I started piano lessons in elementary school, and my older sister played the Trombone. She encouraged me to play the French Horn, and I eventually majored in French Horn Performance in college.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I have a few accomplishments for which I am proud. I was conductor for a small chamber ensemble in Vienna, Austria and had several performances at various venues around town, the pinnacle was performing at the Vienna Konzerthaus, which is the home of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra. Another accomplishment I am proud of is that almost all of the brass students I have had since moving to Ann Arbor, have been 1st chair in the top band at their high school by tier junior or senior year.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Most of my students have consistently relieved a top rating at the Solo and Ensemble Festivals. I encourage all of my students to compete in both Solo and Ensemble. The excellence of my students is mainly due to their solid practicing and desire to improve. The most important thing I contribute is a solid knowledge of music rudiments and theory, and an insistence on understanding musicality and artistry when playing. . I also continue to challenge my students to improve and to play/perform at their own respective best.
