Instruments: Piano
For beginning students I use Faber and John Thompson books. Once the student improves of course we upgrade to more challenging songs and books. For adults I find out what they're interested in and instruct accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and always fun no matter what. I base my teaching method on my strong, enthusiastic, optimistic, patient, and loving character. I make sure the student feels comfortable, is not overwhelmed by the material, and I take any amount of time until the material is thoroughly understood. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar
I have always had a deep appreciation, understanding and desire to spread and teach my passion for music. I started playing classical piano when I was 7 years old. In 2004 I graduated from Fairfield University with a business degree. I have had the honor of performing at Carnegie Hall in Manhattan and music venues all over the world. One of my most memorable experiences was playing along side Robbie Krieger of, "The Doors," at the Whisky A Go Go in West Hollywood. Read More

There are two selected teaching methods that I confer with in order to select the most appropriate method for my students. For my beginning students, I select Schaum (Books 1-3) for piano lessons, and Benners Book One for theory lessons. The Schaum methods offers bright and color-coded books, which reflects that various learning levels. Once the students have attained the basic keyboard and theory fundamentals, the students will be given an assessment of their mastery, they will advance to the immediate level. Read More

I enjoy teaching students of all ages, from all walks of life, background, cultures, and I have a passion for the community. I also work with the Autistic, ADHD, and Disability community. 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. Read More

I have also utilized my network and experience to helping other musicians translate musicianship for character building being an huge advocate for music's its neurological benefits. Read More

During my 18 Yrs of teaching private lessons I’ve learned so much. I’ve grown as a person, performing musician and as a teacher. Music is very a rewarding passion, I strive to communicate my joy and desire to all of my students no matter the age, goals or instrument. Rock n roll was my first love but I studied classical and jazz at the university, along with musical theatre and orchestra gigs. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Organ
I strive to maintain an organized and positive environment for my students. I present a warm, encouraging presence; I very seldom provide the answer for a student. Instead, I will lead them in asking a series of questions which will help them arrive at the correct answer. Even though I have high expectations of every student, I meet them where their ability level and interests are. It is very much of a partnership between me, as teacher, and the student, as an individual. Read More
Instruments: Piano
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes, the teacher I had from the age of 6 through high school graduation inspired me because of her own deep love of music. She often used the word "beauty" to describe it. It took me a while to understand music from that viewpoint, but I eventually (really) got it. I am so grateful now that music is a part of my life and I try to approach teaching with that goal in mind. I tell them how I can listen to a song and know exactly what meter and key signature it is--and how to dance to it! By the same token, I can hold and read a composition and know how it will go. That takes experience, but I show them how Beethoven could continue to write music after he could no longer hear: He already knew what a major 4th interval sounded like, for instance. It was already in his mind.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
This skill has given me confidence, because it was something that I could both enjoy and do well. It also provided a pleasant, engaging escape from some difficulties in the family in which I grew up. When I played for my church, I received a lot of compliments and encouragement from the adults whom I respected. I love that I can sit down and play for myself pieces that I otherwise could only listen to. The focus required engages and sharpens my mind and helps me connect with friends at holiday gatherings. Recently, a 60-year-old friend whose father died when she was 15 mentioned a song he used to play on the piano. I bought the music and played it for her and it pleased her so much.
I am proud that as a child and teenager I could rise to the requirement of memorizing pieces and performing them in recitals. Music engages me, whether it is at church or at the dance studio. I teach students how playing, singing and dancing are all related.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Most of my students are too busy with the variety of activities that Atlanta offers them, so special honors have not been part of their study. However, private lessons have made their participation in school music programs much better than they would otherwise be and I have attended some of those performances. It helps them connect with friends who are also studying piano since they can get together and play. It shows them another level on which they can socialize. Girls, especially, like to sing together.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on the piano is putting both hands together and "hearing" two different melodies and playing them together. It can be done, however, and students are usually amazed when they do it. It is a breakthrough and it is good for them to find that if they try very hard, they can do things they wouldn't otherwise have thought they could do. I even compare to their participation in ice hockey or soccer or basketball, in that you start out simply, follow certain rules, and the skills and performance build.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I like the Alfred and Bastien series for elementary school students, because the songs in the books are there to teach specific principles, but are fun and familiar, too. I have found that for older or adult students, Hal Leonard books are usually the perfect answer for skill-building and enjoyment. Hal Leonard books offer a variety of music that adult students are already familiar with, such as operatic arias or symphonic excerpts, sonatas or popular music from the past and that encourages them.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I do not have a music degree, but I have studied piano from the age of 6 into my 30s. I chose to get my degrees in other fields. However, I love music and could not be more grateful for the instruction I received. Learning about music is never ending. There is always a new composition to learn to play and to figure out how it was put together and why, including how a change of key can be artfully worked into it. I point out to my students how the piano can be used to imitate the sound of almost anything, including train horn or a car swerving up to a curb.
