Instruments: Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
Here is the basic premise of my teaching style. First I want to know what YOU want to learn. The first thing we do is look at what you already know. This builds self confidence. For a beginner- I teach both chords and scales. Single note playing and basic music theory. For other levels it's really the same structure. I am committed to you learning the kind and style of music you want to learn. Read More

Instruments: Guitar
I started playing guitar at 13 years old, way back in 1996. I taught myself for about 5 years before taking up lessons. I studied classical and jazz under Danny Smith, a student of Andres Segovia who is a famous classical guitarist. I love all types of music and over the years I have played in jazz, rock, blues, metal, punk, folk, and country bands. I love to teach and spread the joy of music to anyone who is interested.

Essentially, I believe in methods for instrumental instruction. I have my favorites for each instrument I teach. A method is like a staircase with which the students are able to methodically progress in music and it is the fundamental for any particular style of music they would like to enjoy practicing and performing. Of course, additional material can also be added during the lessons according to the current level of the students and specific styles they would like to get acquainted with through their practice Read More

I tailor a student's curriculum to their musical goals and needs, while making sure that I am instilling the fundamentals needed for pursuing music at the college scholarship level. Often this means scales, chords, arpeggios, music literacy, performance practice and listening skills. To accomplish this, I use standard materials that are often available online and are used by college and University music programs around the world. I have a variety of method books in different styles and from different time periods, and will select, assign, and provide a Method book to a student based on the student's goals. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar
My first teaching experience dates back to 2004. I started teaching at the Kathryn Brickell School for Music. on Long Island, NY. Since then, in between recording and touring, I have never stopped. Having clear set goals and a gameplan to achieve it is what I emphasize most for students at any age. This lets my students have a better gauge of where they are and where they want to go in their musical studies. Read More

I base my every teaching style according to what the individual student needs . Teaching a class of 60 students is much different than a one on one class. No two people are the same and so they should not be taught the same exact way. For ex. Some students are very driven and need to learn control- to slow down and learn awareness, rhythmic sensitivity. Conversely, students who lack conviction and confidence need to listen to classic recordings to gain inspiration , drive. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Repetition and going to the specific measure or line that is giving problems is effectively practicing. Once one gets the specific piece, adding on a measure at a time will reinforce the learned material through repetition.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on the trombone is the slide-tongue technique, where the slide correlated with the tongue of the performer. It can be quite difficult, but practicing using slide movement warm-ups will help aid in the mastery in this technique.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am proud to be one of the first female trombone section leaders at South Carolina State University, and the first female section leader at my high school. I have performed in so many places, but my most favorite accomplishment was performing in the Honda Battle of the Bands. I had grown up watching the Honda Battle of the Bands as a child. I always told myself that I would one day be apart of a Historically Black College and University (HBCU) Band perform in the event. Through practice, hard word, and diligence, I was able to perform in the event--3 times.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose the trombone because it was different from any other instrument in music. I truly enjoy the slide and I feel truly at peace when playing it.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes, my high school band director was my main inspiration to become a music teacher. He molded me as a musician and motivated me to be the person that I know I could be. He challenged me through challenging pieces of music and he was like a second father to me. He truly was always there for his students.
When will I start to see results?
It depends on your child, how much the student practices, and how the student keeps up with the lessons. You will see results when you can see your student progressively being able to blow through the instrument obtaining sound. It does take time and Rome was not built in a day, but progress will show when the student is comfortable and confident in what they are performing.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Children actually are ready to start lessons at a young age. It all depend on how engaging the instructor is that determines how much your student will gain from the lesson. I have worked with students as young as three years old, and they have been beyond ready for lessons
