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
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Music Keyboard
Balancing the radically different musical backgrounds of each student was difficult at first, but I have realized that the core struggles are universal. The solution for each roadblock typically revolved around the students attitude, rather than their approach. Once the student figured out what they truly wanted to learn and feel from music, they were able to set their mind to it and drastically improve. I sincerely enjoy helping the student find their voice and interests, rather than enforcing my own upon them. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I require my students to put in the work to make these lessons a worthwhile investment, but I think the most important thing is to retain the joy of taking piano lessons. I don't want practice to feel forced, however I do think there is a certain amount of will power that goes along with learning a skill. Therefore, I require students to do a time minimum of practice appropriate for the age and skill level. Read More

My teaching style is relaxed and easy going. This is because I try my best to cater to my student's needs. My goal when teaching a student is to be a resource to help them reach their full musical potential. This can be done by setting realistic goals, practice routines and using tension free techniques. I also try my best when teaching to give my students a safe space where they can feel free to grow, create, and express. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Flute
I began teaching while I was in High School and I would teach the younger students who were freshman and sophomores the tenor saxophone. Once I went to Eastman, I taught several people throughout the course of the four years there. I beleive that, particulalry when teaching the saxophone and flute, a mix of classical fundamental technique is very important as well as incorporating the jazz or rock repertoire. I feel that my skills as a music therapist can be very unique particularly because I can really attend to the needs of the student and adapt the music and lesson accordingly. Read More
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.
