Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Cello Viola Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Clarinet Bass Guitar Synthesizer French Horn
For the past 20 years, I've studied and performed with keyboards, guitars and woodwind instruments while exploring a very wide variety of music ranging from classical and rock to jazz and avant-garde. Expanding and sharing that knowledge with other people in a helpful and friendly manner is something that I consummately enjoy- especially if they're beginning where I once was. My education includes a Bachelor of Music in Music Composition from DePaul University, and I've been working on my Music Education Certificate at UMSL since August 2014. Read More

I am a singer-songwriter, music educator, and actress from Chicago! I have always incorporated music into my life. My parents put me into violin and piano lessons when I was only four years old!

Throughout my time at Musicality, I grew from alternate, to member, to staff member, to associate director, and now to producer. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trombone
My passion for teaching began my senior year of high school when I assumed a leadership role within my band program. I led trombone and brass sectionals and helped to mentor younger students. As a result of those experiences, I built a private studio of trombone students made up of my classmates and have maintained a private studio ever since. As I grew as a musician I began to teach jazz improvisation to other instruments and added beginning piano students to my roster. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Music Keyboard
It is important to have a broadened perspective of what it means to be a well rounded musician while having concentrated study in a specific genre or idiom. In my lessons, I strive to cover the major elements required to be a successful trombonist or musician in not only the jazz idiom, but the general music industry as a whole. These subjects include: sight reading, music theory, aural training, music listening, improvisation, composition, arranging, basic music notation, basic music recording techniques, historical and cultural contextualization, music entrepreneurship, and performance edict.

I am a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and exploring music together. I graduated from Soai University in Osaka in 2016. I had been developing my career as a freelance musician since I graduated and gained various professional musical experience including playing with Osaka Philharmonic and Okayama Philharmonic. In 2021, I came to U.S., and I just earned my Master's Degree in Orchestra Studies at the Chicago College of Performing Arts, where I studied the clarinet under Prof. Read More

Suzuki instructional books and supplemented by traditional methodology for reading the various clefs: treble, alto, tenor, and bass. In addition, historical and theoretical subjects are introduced appropriately to keep the student engaged no matter their current abilities. We also have at least two public performances a year at a venue which has a high quality grand piano so the students can get used to the notion that every piano will be different and performing scales before playing their chosen repertoire will help them immensely.

Instruments: Violin
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes! My family inspired me! More precisely, my two brothers inspired me! It made me beam with excitement to listen to them play their saxophone and trumpet in middle school and when they came home from practice I felt honored to reach up for their mouthpiece and take a try! My parents upon suggestion from my brother brought home a violin one day and badda bing badda boom—I began.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose my instrument simply because I was entirely enamored with the creative force speaking through my older brothers when they played their saxophone and their trumpet. I was 3 and a half when I began playing so I chose the violin due to limited access to an instrument that I could actually begin at such a young age due to my physical size! It was for me either the piano or violin and I chose the violin! I later fell in love with the cello however never began it! Some of my good friends play this beautiful instrument so I am able to enjoy it vicariously through them!
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Playing in the Concertebouw Concert Hall in Amsterdam was a highlight as well as with The Cleveland Orchestra! Growing up in a family of music lovers and then moving away to Cleveland and eventually Boston, I was really excited to study with Doald Weilerstein at the New England Conservatory where my first investigations of the inner depths of music and what it meant to be a person began to erupt loudly and sensually. I developed a passion for yoga and Eastern religions and investigated simply out of passion brilliant writers of psychology, philosophy and political philosophy! I love playing chamber music and had a really wonderful time crafting my own quartet time out as well and participating in chamber music adventures like the Masterclass with the Takacs Quartet at Carnegie Hall as well as explorations for and beyond chamber music into life itself at places like Marlboro and Yellow Barn both creatively gifted nooks dedicated to the art of chamber music in the Western Classical Tradition located in tiny towns of Vermont.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I have spent most of my lifetime soloing that I have not had time to teach privately but one student here and there and yet have been a guest artist for many masterclasses and have given as much as possible to people through lecture programs and Various educational outreach venues! I have had a lot of fun doing this and sharing the gift of music in this special way! I know that for me, masterclasses are a wonderful way into a world of an artist that one does not know and in order to learn how they developed as an artist and their particular teaching methods, sometimes a masterclass gives what a private lesson cannot ... well always.. in that it is a basic sketch of the artist and their exstensive musical background and utilization of their brain in a frame of a moment.
