Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet
I have over 6 years of experience of private music lessons and have taught children anywhere from 4- 17. At age 15, I started my own freelancing private piano teacher business. It started small and locally, but I fell in love with teaching others and inspiring others with my passion of music. Ever since graduating Berklee College of Music in 2022, I knew teaching is what I know and love. I love watching a student develop a passion for music. Read More

I'm a lifelong teacher. I always knew teaching was what I wanted to do. My first guinea pig was my little brother, who's seven years younger than I. I've always been able to relate to all ages and all types of people. I've taught in a variety of settings: Schools, music stores and my own independent studio. I really enjoy seeing the light bulb go off in a student's head. Read More

No matter the age of the student, I believe in project-based learning: I help my them write songs, make arrangements, record albums, and prepare for recitals. They will develop a respect for the craft of making music, the more creatively involved they are. A list of a couple highly recommended instruction books is given to each student on their first day. This is to help them grasp the basic language of their instrument. Read More

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I will pass on the warmup methods that I was trained to do from my professors at Berklee and Manhattan School of Music. We will also go over the difference between practicing and jamming and how to do both in between lessons for I believe they are both important for vocal development for different reasons. I will keep an astute eye and ear on elements such as breath management, intonation, tone quality, phrasing, diction, expression, interpretation, stage presence, preparation, musicianship, and last but not least, attitude.

I taught from (1997-2015) I averaged 30 to 35 students a week. In 2015 I moved to NashvilleTN, I taught online with a few students but wanting to expand teaching in Nashville I've reached out to Musika to help. I've truly enjoyed teaching students of all levels from young to old and seeing their progress in learning the piano. I try to make it fun and progressive along the way. I've learned alot from teaching piano to so many people with diverse backgrounds and ages through the years. Read More

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Performing at prestigious concert venues like Royal Albert Hall, Carnegie Hall, World Arena, Pepsi Center, and touring to almost every continent on the earth! I'm also proud that I've worked on my craft to the point where other musicians consider me "A" level player here in Nashville by other touring musicians, producers, and vocalist. I've released 3 jazz albums with original compositions and jazz standards. I am also proud that I was able to serve my country with the USAF Academy Band and having the opportunity to perform all over the USA with them.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I've had several students win awards and scholarships for their performance skills they've developed by studying with me. Many of my students were playing and doing things that I was learning at Berklee College of Music when I was 24 and 4th year as a performance major at Berklee College of Music. Many of my students are traveling all over the world touring, performing in big cities, and working in recording studios in Nashville, Boston, NY, and LA. Many of my students also auditioned and made "ALL STATE" Ensembles.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on the piano is playing the RH and LH playing completely different parts at the same time. To be able to do this students must practice very slowly with a metronome, counting out loud, and practice hands separate. You practice this very very slowly, and increasing the speed little by little until you can get the music to flow. The hard part about this is that it's not all that much fun to do this type of work, but it's necessary to be able to play the piece up to tempo, and for the music to "flow" naturally with no hesitations or stops.
Another hard thing to master is rhythm. Rhythm is the 1st thing people notice about someones playing. I work very hard in making sure the rhythms are correct, and the students play with a steady tempo without speeding up or slowing down.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Hal Leonards "Piano Adventures" by Faber & Faber for students age 7 and up, "Piano Prep" by Alfred for students age 5-6, "Piano Literature" by Bastien&Bastien for intermediate to advanced students. I like them because they are evenly paced, fun, and the piano accompaniments are fun, and they teach a variety of styles. I've been using these methods for over 20 years, and student progress through them, and develop into great players. "Piano Adventures" have 5 levels of lesson books, 2 levels of "Adult Piano Adventures". Then I supplement the books with songs that the students want to learn to play.
