Instruments: Piano, Voice, Violin, Accordion, Fiddle, Keyboard

I come from a family with strong history in music, and music has played a vital role in my life and experience. All my life I have watched my parents, brothers, uncles, and aunts perform, whether simply at family gatherings or for larger venues. From age three I was exposed to musical performance through a few elementary piano lessons. At age 9 I began studying the violin, performing in small school groups and on my own. Read More

Preschool students: I use everything in my hands to help them to love music and enjoy it. We dance, we jump, sometimes we color ... anything that helps them learn. My class basically consists in developing in the little ones curiosity and musical taste. Through musical games and songs, the students will understand the basics of music theory, tone and rhythm. Also, some musical games that we will be doing will help each kid to improve his reading, writing, mathematical and other academic skills, as well as his ability to remember and memorize. Read More

For me, nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students grow and 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. When getting to know a student, I try to find out what inspires them and what their hobbies are. Read More

Instruments: Piano

I have three areas of emphasis in my teaching: provide the student with a balanced repertoire, demand correct technique, and require a solid foundation in music theory.  I will provide my students with opportunities to participate in recitals, festivals, contests, and state theory exams. Students are given clear and precise instruction at each weekly lesson as to what they should accomplish in their practice sessions during the week for the succeeding week. Read More
