Instruments: Piano Guitar Music Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
Music is my calling in life. My career in teaching started 30 + years ago and it has truly been a pleasure to see my students light up when they learn the songs they love. I started by offering private lessons in 1992 and soon had many requests from other students. I offer lessons for both electric and acoustic guitar as well as piano. Along with instrumental lessons, I teach music theory workshops for song-writers and music engineering workshops for musicians. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I also studied symphonic band, musical theater, and jazz throughout high school while learning improvisational skills as a church pianist. I've had the opportunity to play with other musicians in band and studio settings; my particular favorite project was with a violinist who had performed in Carnegie Hall. At this point in my life, I play for wedding ceremonies and a local church, while working towards obtaining my Bachelor of Arts with the Berklee College of Music for Composition and Orchestration for Film and Television.

Hello future students! I much enjoy sharing my experience as a creative musician to my students whether they are 5 or 55, beginner or advanced. I am a patient teacher and do my best to encourage each student to find themselves as unique learners (musicians) unto themselves. I graduated from Columbia College Chicago in 2002 with a BA focus on Music Composition. While recently living in NYC, I formed a 12-member saxophone orchestra, composed and recorded two symphonies, performed and recorded with the late Glenn Branca's 100 Guitar Ensemble, and provided live Sound Design for renowned poetess Anne Carson.

There is nothing more rewarding then to see a student achieve and accomplish a goal. I believe and always positively affirming and acknowledging there accomplishments. Positive reinforcement and encouragement always assist the student to strive and succeed. I always give my student the choice to decide between multiple pieces, but I always choose pieces with a new technique or concept, so the student is consistently learning. My job is to discovery the students desires then to formulate a lesson plan that will not only stimulate, educate and challenge but also make the learning experience enjoyable. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Bass Guitar Double Bass
Music has always been my full-time profession. At the age of 13 I started playing bass in local bands professionally. After high school, I embarked on a collegiate musical journey, which led me to stays at Columbia College in Chicago, Bowling Green State University (where I received a full tuition scholarship) and Wayne State University. During that time, I have always kept up a busy lesson studio and performance schedule. During the last 8 years I have performed over 150 times per year, all over the country. Read More

I have been teaching students for over 10 years. In addition to piano, guitar, violin, and double bass private lessons, I have also taught group lessons. I taught a group piano lab for 5th graders. I taught group guitar lessons to camp students. I have been a member of two private lessons instutions who help me find private students on all instruments so that I can travel to students homes or have them come to my home studio. Read More

I do tailor my music lessons for the individual student. There really is no making a general statement for a specific person. There are, however, some very fundamental aspects of learning music for all people which will definitely include practicing and mastering scales of all type, performing with others, and using the ears to truly listen to intervals and the emotions that are invoked by performing certain keys in specific styles.

Instruments: Flute
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I decided to become a professional musician during my sophomore year of high school, when my private teacher helped me first realize that I wanted to pursue music as a career. Once I had made that decision, I have never looked back and I have put my all into pursuing music ever since. My parents have always taught me to give 110% to everything I want to accomplish in my life, and I have done that and more with music. The work that I put into my musical career never feels like a chore because I enjoy it so much, and I cannot wait to see what my future holds.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My grandmother used to play the baritone horn, the harp the piano, and sing when she was younger. When I was a child, I have wonderful memories of going over to her house and playing on her grand piano for hours on end. She would sit next to me and help teach me how to play it. I also remember going to church and listening to her sing in the choir, and I always felt so inspired. When I go to visit her now, I still will sit down at her piano and play just like I used to. She is really the only musically inclined family member I have, but she has always been such a big inspiration for me.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite genre of music to play is world music, specifically music that explores the influences of outside cultures. I fell in love with world music very early on in my musical career, and I am also very interested in ethnomusicology. I find such beauty in the musical style of cultures outside of America, and each time I have the opportunity to learn a new piece inspired by a new culture I get very excited and research everything there is to know about this style of traditional music, the traditional instruments used, and I listen to many recordings of people playing this style of music on both traditional and modern instruments so that I can best represent the culture in my performance of the piece.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I also play the guitar, which I began when I was in the sixth grade. I started to play the guitar after I began flute playing, because I have always been a huge fan of 80s metal music and when I was 11 years old I envisioned myself playing lead guitar in a rock band. I begged my parents for a guitar and guitar lessons, and I ended up joining a rock band of my own through the Detroit School of Rock and Pop Music in high school. I also played in my middle and high school jazz bands on guitar, and although I don't play it much anymore, I still really enjoy picking it up every once in awhile to strum some chords and sing a cover of a song I love.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would absolutely be pursuing a career in the arts, most likely as a creative writer or a journalist. The arts have given me such joy throughout my life, and it has been such an amazing outlet for me to express myself freely and develop my own voice in the world. I love writing, and I love sharing my thoughts and ideas with others. I currently write a monthly column in the Southeast Michigan Flute Association monthly newsletter, and I also write and submit music-related articles to additional flute and music publications in my free time for fun.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream piece to perform is the Concerto for Flute and Orchestra by Joan Tower with an orchestra. I first heard this piece played with an orchestra by one of our doctoral students when I was in my undergraduate, and it was the most electrifying and exciting piece I had ever heard in my entire life. I absolutely loved listening to every second of it, and I immediately bought the score after the performance. I have not had the opportunity to perform this piece yet, but I have begun to learn it and I am very excited to program it on a recital in the near future.
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 a Bachelor's Degree in Music Performance from Bowling Green State University with a minor in Entrepreneurship. I chose Music Performance because I fell in love with performing and I really wanted to devote myself to learning how to play the flute really well so that I could perform and share my love for music with audiences. I chose to pursue a minor in entrepreneurship to gain the business and networking skills I need to freelance as a performer and as a teacher, and my minor in entrepreneurship helped me to develop my website "Playing Without Pain" that I run as a form of non-profit and use as a source to connect collegiate musicians with resources to treat and prevent performance-based injuries.
