Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Viola Ukulele Electric Violin Fiddle
I'e been playing since I've been a young child and have never been able to see myself do anything else. I am currently playing with the Dearborn Symphony Orchestra as well as the Michigan Philharmonic Symphony. I aspire to play with the Michigan Opera Theater soon and become a studio musician. I have lots of background playing in concerts outside of classical music such as rock, folk, and pop and love teaching such styles. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I am a piano teacher who came from a culture that does not really appreciate music. I lived there for 24 years, and I had not had the chance to pursue my dreams in music. Now that I am here having the freedom to work towards achieving my goals in music, I am studying, teaching music, expressing and sharing my love for it. I started teaching music officially in 2010, but before that I had given training courses and private lessons in some churches, and that was starting from 2005. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Music Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I am a musician with a true passion for teaching the art of music to individuals of all ages. Music has been a part of my life since I started [laying the guitar 45 years ago and I have been professionally instructing for 30 + years. I gained my music education in "Advanced musical studies" by attending years of lessons with several private and University instructors in Michigan. I own the Oakland guitar studios located in West Bloomfield and South Lyon since 1993. Read More
Instruments: Piano Organ Music
My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part-time 10 years ago, and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio for the last 5 years. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More
Instruments: Piano Oboe Bassoon
I have always had an eclectic love for all things music, and enthusiastically share it with anyone who will have me! There was a piano in my house growing up and I couldn't stay away. In school, I studied oboe and bassoon. Eventually I just explored any instrument that caught my interest- guitar, trumpet, ocarinas, panflutes, etc. I spent a lot of time doing musical theatre, and studied voice for a time as well.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Well, my story is a little different. My church wanted a pianist so they sent me to lessons. I began lessons a little late in the 7th grade at age 10. Once I started music lessons I loved music so much that I practiced every chance I got even during break and lunch times which contributed to my advancement in music. I started with a wonderful teacher who was warm, friendly and like a mother. She made everyone feel like they were part of a big family and she did it very naturally. Her family was a musical family so it came natural for her to cultivate the love and passion for music in her students.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
In 2016, I was chosen to be the Principal Accompanist for the World Premiere Grady-Rayam Gala of the Negro Spiritual Scholarship Foundation. This opportunity allowed me to perform with world-class opera Singer Stephanie Washington.
In April 2017, I traveled to Nashville Tennessee, to compete in the James A. Hefner HBCU Piano Competition at Tennessee State University. I won the top two prizes of the competition. The first prize was 500 dollars for best overall performance and the second was 250 dollars for the best performance of a piece played by an African American composer. You can find a performance of the piece on my profile and here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-ydW8BgSVA
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Well, virtuosity is hardest thing to master on the instrument. Virtuosity covers mastery of the instrument in all ways both technically and musically. Obtaining control, finger strength and dexterity, mastery of tension release, mastery of physical gestures, mastery of genres/styles, mastery of energized and active fingers and knuckles, mastery of finger placement/lower-upper arm movement, mastery of musical depth and understanding, interpretation, mastery of technique and practicing effectively are all contributors to obtaining virtuosity which in my opinion, is the hardest thing to master on the instrument.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard, Faber, John Thompson are method books that I use within my lessons because I believe they best represent the quality of music instruction I like my students to experience. More importantly, I used several of the method books in my own musical upbringing which helped to cultivate me into the pianist I am today. Also, an important feature of these method books is that they provide gradual, step by step instruction which lessons, especially for beginner should follow.
