Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
My teaching style is extremely student centered. I help my students find the music that they love, and I help them play it musically. I focus on creating a nurturing environment where students can explore, take risks, and ask questions. I meld my content expertise with my ability to read people well and really help them find that path to success that works for THEM. There is no one-size-fits all approach to teaching music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar
But in conjunction with the books, I want to give the student opportunities to play what they want. I have a music notation software, which i've used to create simple arrangements of pop songs from artists such as Taylor Swift or Bruno Mars, or anything else I or the student think would be fun to play. I simply want to give the student opportunities to apply what they've learned to something fun early on. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar
For begining students I like to start from a foundational stand point. It is very important to enstill good practice habits and technique in order not to develop bad habits in your playing. For drumming and other instruments, starting with rudiments, learning how to read music, and playing scales are a great way to help a student build their technique and ear up. I think it is really important to ask what kind of music the student is into or show them how the foundational basics can be used in an actual playing situation instead of just a boring regimented routine.

I understand that as a teacher, my job is to not just teach the instrument or a song, but to inspire a deep, passionate love for music. The teachers that had the biggest impact on me and that I enjoyed the most were the ones who cared the most about my relationship to the music I was playing. Because of this, I make sure the student is always engaged in what they are playing and are enjoying it. Read More
Instruments: Piano Clarinet Music Keyboard
I am a composer, songwriter, pianist, clarinetist, and music educator who enjoys teaching students of all ages from a place of truth and empowerment. My goal is to help them break barriers of limitation so they can learn how to play piano or clarinet and write their own music in a safe and relaxed environment. I have a degree in music composition with a concentration in clarinet from Loyola University New Orleans. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone
I like to teach by setting both short- and long-term goals with the student. My personal goal is to help the student learn a healthy and strong passion for music and to prepare them to accomplish their ambitions and to continue playing after they are finished working with me, whether it is as an amateur, as a continuing student, as a conservatory student, or as a professional. I want to equip each student to be an auto-didact, capable of teaching themselves, and to be able to teach music themselves. 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.
