I have taught some students while attending Morgan State University in Baltimore, MD. I've also taught a master class to university students in Colombia, South America while on tour with the Morgan State Jazz Combo. I enjoy teaching to all ages! Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
I use an organized step by step method as a general rule, depending on the students age and ability, seeking to have each student master the fundamentals of rhythm, note reading, technique and expression in a logical easy to understand way. I require practice at least 4 days a week to ensure progress. For preschool age children, I use the Wunderkeys method. I seek to minimize frustration, encourage students to e-mail with questions, use games as a learning tool and assign pieces they like and pieces that are standard repertoire. Read More

When I see a smile on someone's face in the presence of a musical accomplishment, the spiritual reward for that service is something I live for! To be able to help a student attain their goals requires a flexible teaching style, that can cater to every type of person. Positive affirmations are a key ingredient to helping a student feel good about they mile stones, but remaining realistic for the student at the same time allows them to make progress at their own pace, and feel good about it nonetheless.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I have been teaching for a little over 2 years and I enjoy passing my knowledge along to everyone. Music is a huge part of my life, I started playing music when I was 9 years old. I taught myself how to play: Guitar, Bass, Upright Bass, and Tuba. My dedication made me able to get into my dream college right after high school which is Berklee College of Music which is located in Boston Massachusetts. Read More
Instruments: Piano
Hello, and nice to meet you! I am a skilled musician and teacher, bringing years of experience in performance and teaching to the table. My passion for teaching was grounded when I learned from the very best around the world. I learned through my own teachers that teaching can elevate an individual to higher heights and bring joy to those who learn from you. I graduated with a degree in piano performance from California State University in 2018 on the Dean's List and top of my class in pedagogical classes on teaching piano. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Trumpet Recorder Fiddle
I like to start out beginning string students with Essential Elements 2000 by the Hal Leonard company. They have a complete system which includes professionally recorded accompaniments which provide a model for the student to hear how to play with good intonation, tone and rhythm which are the most important basics. In addition I recommend other sheet music with piano accompaniment or books with CD accompaniments that can be performed for friends and family. Read More

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Typically, when a child is ready, they will let you know. In as many ways as they can think of. And sometimes as loudly as possible... That being said, there are occasionally those talented students that are hidden beneath a shy and mild-mannered exterior that may not exude the zeal of others. In these cases, parents should look for three key factors: 1. Physical size/development of the child: I have struggled watching too many children become frustrated with music too early because their hands are too small to reach a note, or they cannot see the music from their bench, or their mouthpiece should be called a face piece. Kids grow fast their first 10 years, so even holding off a few months for a growth spurt can make the difference between frustration and tears and a lifelong love of music. 2. Genuine, unprompted interest: if you often find your child seated at the piano staring into its guts trying to figure out how it all works, or singing from morning to night, or tapping rhythmically, even if it’s on the back of your seat in the car and potentially less than relaxing for you, these are all signs the student has a real interest in music. 3. A level of maturity that allows them to practice some every day, even if they don’t “feel like it.” We all have days when we feel like we’d rather sleep, or watch television, or read in a hammock than carry on our obligations, but knowing we must take care of business before pleasure is another sign that the student is on the right track for music lessons.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice more than once per day, but not for a long amount of time — 10 to 15 minutes 3-4 times a day. It is important that you focus for this short amount of time, as the old adage ‘practice makes percect’ Is only true when it’s ‘PERFECT practice’. This will be 30-60 minutes of practicing that will not leave you exhausted, will help your brain learn your new skill faster, and is much easier to fit into tight schedules. This, combined with a healthy lifestyle and most importantly — rest and sleep — will kickstart your abilities faster than you had imagined.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
What do you mean if I weren’t a musician? Is that an option? In actuality, I quite enjoyed math and science even into my early college years, excelling in chemistry and physics, and taking a real love of calculus and higher maths. If I had not chosen music, it would have been engineering in some capacity, I imagine, if not that, then perhaps an actor. Or professional yo-yo artist. Or a dive instructor. Or a boat captain on a luxury yacht. Or an audiobook producer. Or maybe an astronaut. Or an archaeologist. Or an astronaut-archaeologist!
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master in singing is so simple, and we all do it every day, but many of us incorrectly from years of bad habits and societal dampening that causes us to do even the most basic thing necessary for our survival incorrectly.... breathing. Mastering breath control is something that is a life long endeavor anytime after infancy — you’ll notice children have no problems being heard when they want, even with their small instruments and lung capacities. The only reason we as adults cannot squeal like children anymore is our own inhibitions we place on ourself through “manners” and “inside voices” and even “chewing with your mouth shut”. These societal norms are actually damaging to the basal functions of our breath support and control. Learning to set aside these inhibitions and breathe like a kid again will benefit anyone the most, even if they only make small inroads into the recovery of the skill.
