Anyone can learn when they know that they're in a supportive learning environment! My students are encouraged to make mistakes, and we find out together what can help in fixing those mistakes. I acknowledge my students' progress in each lesson so that they gain the confidence to keep moving forward. In each lesson, I am focused on meeting students where they are at, and my teaching is very adaptive. I love to engage students in their learning quest asking questions that prompt their learning and understanding of music. Read More

An unforgettable highlight was sharing the stage with Cous at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheater in October 2022. Collaboration has been a cornerstone of my musical adventure, featuring esteemed artists like Cous, Grace De Vine, Lauren Hifrauf, Dandu, Diego Frenkel, Venus Cruz, Willie Green, Greg Tanner Harris, and Verena Fuentes. In a remarkably short period since its inception in 2020, my current project, "People in Between," has graced esteemed platforms like The Denver Post Underground Music Showcase, the Larimer Block Party (now Project PBR), and had the honor of opening for Grammy-nominated artist Emily Hale.

Instruments: Piano Voice

I have had the passion of teaching piano since I started building experience through further studying Piano Pedagogy. The courses I was honored to take were extremely valuable for the piano teaching jobs I was able to find for the next decade. My most rewarding experience was when my long-term student of 5 years won first place in her first "Battle of the Bands" for playing Bruno Mars' "Just the Way You Are". Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Drums Bass Guitar Euphonium Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

With any student who is in a beginning sort of stage with their musicality, I will start off by teaching them basic techniques, simple notes or chords(dependent on the type of instrument), and rudimentary knowledge of the notational system. Once they have started to make some progress, I take a unique approach by asking them of their own opinion for where they would want to see themselves go. I do this to not only make it as exciting as possible for the student, but to help them achieve a vision they already have for themselves. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Double Bass Music Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
4'33... no joke. I always remind myself to see everyday sounds as potential music/art. There is so much audio beauty around if we just see it in a different light.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Audio/Video Production. I love the amazing tech that exists nowadays to do incredible things. I love to help artists achieve a vision or market their amazing works.

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Singer/Songwriter. I love honesty and storytelling. Good lyrics can take you to the moon, quite literally. And when the lyrics and music fit just right... Everyone wins.

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started playing guitar, piano, and drums after bass because these instruments were in the house! Just having these tools around inspired me as a child to just try it out and now its my career.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My father is a Billy Joel impersonator and great songwriter though it was only his hobby. My old brothers are great musicians as well though also as hobbies. It felt like my place to take up the mantle and make it my career.

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
The first time I experienced that you can "talk through your instruments" with another musician. There was no turning back after that, I needed to see what else was possible.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I do not. While Simandl is great for upright bass, my guitar/electric bass teaching is ALL my own content geared directly towards the specific needs of my students.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Start naturally without thinking. Then do all the nitty gritty things. Finish again with whatever songs I'm currently most inspired by. And of course - Improvise what ever comes to mind!

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have an undergrad in Jazz/Classical performance and am getting my Masters in Jazz Performance. I love learning classical to master my instrument and learning jazz to master MUSIC.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
On the bass, I would say simplicity is the hardest thing to master. Less is always more on this amazing instrument - BUT finding that sweet spot takes mastery.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Being hired to play at Smoke Jazz Club with Marc Carey and being hired by Hobart and William Smith colleges right out of my undergrad. Also, playing alot of gigs with Eastman professors Clay Jenkins and Rich Thompson.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Neil Nicastro in Scranton was my first teacher and inspired me through his relaxed vibe and focus. He took me from "how to hold the instrument" to "Donna Lee" the challenging Jazz Tune... with ALOT of Red Hot Chile Peppers in the middle.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My dad is a great pianist of Billy Joel. My two older brothers as well - One played guitar, the other drums. So naturally I started on the bass and quickly took to guitar, piano, drums, and singing as well.

When will I start to see results?
Immediately you should feel engaged. You don't have to become a master, just become you. Stick with the flow. Don't stress, enjoy, and your immediate result is the enjoyment of music.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Stay Focused and Free. Start immediately playing whatever feels natural. Then dive into the nitty gritty stuff (scales). Finally, get deep into the songs you love so you can walk away with progress and a smile.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If they have interest or an instrument - EITHER ONE can come first. Often a student needs just to have their first experience with a teacher or at a show to realize that guitar hanging around the house is VERY COOL.

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
