Instruments: Piano Cello Drums Conga Latin Percussion Djembe
I'm a performer and educator motivated most by the flash of joy I see in students' faces when they first grasp a new musical concept. With a global perspective on music cultivated by my background performing Brazilian music and American Jazz since childhood, and further bolstered by a B.A. in Anthropology: Ethnomusicology from Ithaca College, I have been a full time touring musician for the last 10 years. In addition to mainstage festival appearances all over the country, I have been lucky enough to teach clinics and master classes in percussion at top conservatories and universities such as Oberlin College & Georgetown University, as well as workshops in high schools, middle schools, & elementary schools all over the US.

Instruments: Piano
I allow each student to progress at his or her own pace. I set realistic goals at each lesson in terms of technique. piano repertoire and theory. I make journal entries at every lesson to record what was covered. I encourage students to participate in recitals and can make arrangements for them to perform, as I beieve that public performance is an important milestone in their musical education. For those who are interested in exams and competitions, I help them to choose repertoire that will highlight their strengths. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I start all of my beginning students in John Thompson Book One as it provides a great base to build on. After that lessons become very personalized to the student's learning styles as well as their individual goals. Adult beginners I supplement with Faber. I aim to get all of my students playing "real" music very quickly without sacrificing solid technique and fundamentals. I tend to spend half of a lesson on drills and half working on songs. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar
For beginners, I use Alfred's books. They are very easy to understand. Alfred's Book Course are the most valuable books I have ever seen. I use Alfred's: lesson book, theory book, technique book, notespeller booke, and recital book. I usually make sure to include recital book as we are going to start our first recital this year. I also make sure that we alternate between lesson and technique book every lesson. Read More

I began teaching piano 10 years ago while attending Texas Tech University. I have taught students ages 3 years old to 65 years young! Additionally, I have been teaching voice for 8 years. I have taught privately, taught at middle schools and high schools, and even was an adjunct professor at NYU from 2008-2010 while I was in graduate school. Read More
Instruments: Piano
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I'm proud of receiving a music award before my graduation and for having the opportunity to play for the senior prong in high school. I'm proud for the opportunity that I had in playing for both the school and the church choir and for playing for the two dance schools. What I'm most proud of is help bringing the talent out of my students so that they can bring joy to their families and those around them. I'm grateful for their love for music and for their hard work. My life has been bless through my students.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Not at this point. Most of my students are still in school. One of my students has started taking violin this year. Her teacher was impressed what she already know and move her up to advance. My older students started late in life. They range from their 50's through their 70's.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
My instructor kept after me on this one thing. He said, "Read your Notes Sandra". I had a bad habit of memorizing and picking things up by ear. It also took me a little longer to learn my classical music.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I mainly use the Alfred Series. I looked at the different materials and it seems like the Alfred Series is more detail and has some excellent tunes for the kids to learn.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
The practice session would mainly be studying and working through the assignments. The assignments would not be too lengthy but would be at the pace the student can learn. The lesson would be cater to 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 have no degree, but a lot of experience. My instructor taught me a wide range of music which included improvising, ear training, sight reading, chord structure and dynamics. He taught me to compose as well as to read what's written. He was the one who got me my first job at the dance school when I was just in High School.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
The Holy City is my favorite piece. The music is beautiful and the words are inspiring. My other favorite selection is O Holy Night. Both of these selections tell of Christ and that is why they are my favorite songs.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would probably just be working in the office doing clerical work.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Spiritual and Rock music is my favorite style/genre of music. The reason is because they are uplifting and I enjoy playing them. Classical music is my other favorite style of music. I feel a deep respect for the great artists who compose them. Last of all, Country Music is another one of my favorite styles of music. When I play Country Roads, I feel a part of nature and this beautiful world that we live in.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I learned Organ, because at the time, an organist was needed at my church; however, my specialty is piano.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Aunt Jean, my mother's sister was the organist and soloist for her church. My grandfather on my mother's side played violin when the folks square dance. He was known as the best violinist in the State of Michigan. My daughter had the opportunity to sing a couple of solo's for church when she was growing up.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I became a professional musician years ago when a family heard me played. The parents wanted me as their piano teacher for their children. I taught all three kids in the family. They recommended me to others and the word spread. I'm now teaching 23 students.
