Instruments: Piano Flute Clarinet Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Music
My teaching is very student-driven. I try to keep the students interests as a primary goal in keeping their interest level and so that they can progress in a musical situation. When they are interested in what they are learning, they strive for success. I try to acknowledge their successes and accomplishments which helps keep them learning and wanting to learn more. The best way to learn music is to teach it effectively, and I ALWAYS am learning from my students in a variety of ways, whether it be a new group that I'm not familiar with, or another style or genre that is new and fresh.

Music has been a big part of me for most of my life. I started playing piano at age 8 and saxophone at age 9. During hish school and college, I recieved many awards and recognitions for my playing. I recieved my Bachelors in 2014 and my Masters in 2015. During my musical studies, I have studied with many stellar musicians and teachers, and I strive to impart the same amount of excitement and energy to my students that these musicians imparted to me.

I'm a multi-instrumentalist who's been performing on piano since I was 14 back in my hometown of Austin, Texas. In 2009, I moved to the east coast to continue my education at William Paterson University. Over the years, my teachers have been instrumental in my success, and I strive to pass the lessons I received from them on to my own students. Those teachers have included Alex Bohrer, Paul White, and Jeff Hellmer in Texas, Vincent Herring and Harold Mabern at William Paterson, Gary Thomas at Peabody, and many others. Read More

I have a deep joy for music making that I have eagerly shared with my students for the last 15 years. In addition to my varied teaching career, I am also a full-time freelance musician and travel all over the country and the world (Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Rome, Dublin) as a soloist and ensemble member. I have been fortunate to make music professionally since I was a teenager which inspired me to earn a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance, Bachelor of Arts in Music Theory and History, and Master of Music in Vocal Performance.

Instruments: Flute Piccolo
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am the most proud of my senior recital. I had organized an entire hour and half's worth of repertoire with varying styles and formats of groups. I included a handful of solos and duets, accompanied and unaccompanied by piano. I was part of a wonderful wind quintet that agreed to perform a few of my favorite selections. I arranged a contemporary piece for a flute quintet, complete with percussion, and I actually was able to figure out a time and place for us all to meet and practice a few times. My university's flute ensemble had rehearsed a fun piece to showcase as well. I had a goal to perform at least once on each of the four flute instruments I had available: piccolo, flute, alto flute, and bass flute - and I pulled it off! I learned so much about programming, organizing rehearsals, and becoming dedicated to practicing, and I wouldn't have had it any other way!
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session for me has generally the same format every time. It begins with a warm up of long tones or harmonics, just to get the sound going and the lungs to wake up. Next, I like to look at a technical exercise, maybe dealing with finger technique or lip flexibility. I sometimes like to use a mirror during technical practicing, to make sure my fingers look relaxed and close to the keys, and to watch how my lips and jaw move when I play in certain ranges. After this part is when we're usually nice and warmed up, so we will advance to something more expressive, like a solo or another choice repertoire. At this point we will work on dynamics and style, keeping in mind correct playing posture and breathing. At the end of a practice session, I will take a little time to work on something light and fun, as a cool-down.
I generally don't prefer to stay on just one thing for an excessive amount of time, because much like cramming for a test, it can tire you out. I move from one activity to the next when I feel like we've reached an appropriate level of practice for the day, or if we reach a certain goal.
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 a Bachelor of Science degree in Music Education. I chose this path for myself when I was about a junior in high school. I was playing flute in every ensemble I was physically able to, and I learned new instruments for ensembles that didn't include flute. Music had grown to be such an integral part of who I was, and I fell in love with the community of musicians that I was surrounded with. High school graduation grew nearer and nearer, and I had a realization that I did not want to leave this community of musicians. I knew graduation was inevitable, but I was at my happiest when I was in the music department of my school. That is the exact moment that I decided to major in music education so that I could become a music teacher and be a part of a music department once again.
