Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
When I am teaching, I learn my students. I understand who they are, what they need to know and am constantly evolving my practice in order to help my students grow. I am especially good at pinpointing what my students are doing well, creating engaging lessons, and helping them leave knowing what they need to do for the week in order to improve. I like to nest the learning of scales, chords, and techniques within the music that my students are learning. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar
Teaching is something I naturally love doing, simply because I see it as an opportunity to share my interest and passion for a particular subject with someone, so that they may develop the same fondness for that subject. I believe the most important role of a teacher is to spark passion and curiosity in his student, hence my goal is to successfully demonstrate to my students why music is so amazing!I have about a year of teaching experience, tutoring high school students.I also have been teaching piano to my roommates and friends during my college, and have successfully hooked many of them to music.

I am a skilled and passionate instructor, composer, pianist, and organist as well as a graduate of Loyola University New Orleans. Initially self-taught on the piano, I had my first experience with lessons on the organ thanks to the charity of Dr. Marcus St. Julien, and I want to pass that spirit of mentoring on to every student I meet. I am experienced in and passionate about all kinds of classical music, ranging from Bach to Beethoven to Ravel, Prokofiev, and Schoenberg, and I also have a background in jazz and pop music.

Since then, I have worked at a variety of music camps, where I have taught bass, guitar, songwriting, and led a variety of ensembles. Read More
Instruments: Piano Clarinet Music Keyboard
In the first lesson beginner students get an overview of the piano, learn their first warmups, get an idea of what they should do outside of our lessons to see the most progress, and discuss their goals as a musician and pianist/clarinetist. I mostly teach from Alfred's Basic Piano Library All-In-One Book series for students of all ages and supplement with other materials as needed. I usually am willing to work with any books students already have as well. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
I always try to get information about each students favorite kind of music. Music lessons are for learning but for also getting inspired. Each student is different and I always keep that in mind. I always teach at a pace comfortable to the student. My goal for my students to learn at least one new thing every lesson. I also make sure to give my students time to ask questions. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Slow is a pace. Slow is better than no. Not just in the speed of the notes, there is more than one type of slow. If you work and work over time, and you gain just a little bit, then that’s progresss. Slow progress, but progress anyhow. Always forcus on sound. If your trumpet doesn’t sound like a trumpet, that’s not good. Listen to your own sound and think ‘How can I make this sound better?’ Always have a musical statement in mind. Don’t ever play an instrument. Play music. Use the instrument to play music. One requires careful thought and expression, the other can be done by a duck.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child can talk, they can study music. We learn music the same way we learn how to speak: imitation. The child just needs to know to imitate, and the rest takes care of itself. If the child is old enough to climb up on the piano bench, and reach the keyboard they are about old enough to begin playing. When I teach privately, I don’t recommend starting below the age of 3 because they need a certain amount of development in their brain to actually begin to make improvements. Musika starts out at 5, and that is a perfectly acceptable age to start lessons. It’s all up to what you want for your child.
PS It is never too late to start taking lessons, even in retirement if you have a musical interest, anyone can play music.
When will I start to see results?
That depends on the student’s practice time. I see the student once a week for 30 minutes to an hour. In that time I deliver to the student knowledge, tools, and a model, for tackling the musical skills. In order to see measurable change, a student must take that set of information and apply it daily, but they can’t just go through the motions. They have to be actively thinking, actively listening, to their own playing, their own mistakes. I will teach them how to be effective practicers, but it is up to them to become effective practicers. The time will vaty from student to student.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My steel band teacher had the utmost concern for high quality performance in our high school steel band. She could always tell when we made a mistake and was incessant about playing in the correct style. She also invoked to us hard work leads to excellence, excellence leads to pride. My pride in what we were able to accomplish in that band confirmed to me that she knew what she was talking about, and that if I took what she taught me in that class with me I will have a good life in music. I use her message in everything I do. Thanks Marta.
