Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar
After I graduated from Roosevelt University I had more time outside of academics to start a teaching practice. In 2011, I worked at Lynn Marcel School of Fine Arts in Hillside, IL. As a drum instructor I helped design a corruculum plan and taught younger students ages 8-14. In 2013 and 2014, I worked at School of Rock in Oark Park, IL teaching drum set, voice, and piano for students of all age groups. Read More
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 Voice Saxophone
My teaching experience may not be centered around lessons in a private studio, but it is still centered around music and the individual student. I have extensive experience tutoring students in music theory at all levels (from basic reading comprehension to large-scale analysis of contemporary works), and through that I have come to understand that knowing the student as an individual and understanding their desires and motivations are the key to connecting with one and teaching successfully.

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
Instruments: Piano Voice Organ Keyboard
For beginning students, I vary my teaching methods quite a bit. I often take on students in households that already have method books purchased, and I have never had an issue with using them. At times, more books are needed, but I will allow the student to utilize these already-owned options, as I myself will supplement extra music. Students will often mentally understand what they need to do, but the necessary motor skills take time and repetition to achieve their goals. Read More

I am an enthusiastic and knowledgeable instructor who loves sharing my love of music with students. In 2011 I graduated from Haverford College as a Music Minor and History Major. I write songs constantly and have performed hundreds of times as both a solo artist and with bands that I have formed. I have performed in Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, California, North Carolina, Texas and Louisiana. I work every day to become a better singer, songwright, and instrumentalist, and I appreciate working with those who share a similar drive to excel. 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.
