I have been teaching private lessons since 1979. There is no greater joy for me than to see that spark of learning ignite and grow as my students discover that they can make music too. I tailor my lessons to match the goals of the student. Many of my students aspire to become professionals and others simply want to have fun with music. Whatever the reason a student chooses to pick up an instrument and play, my ultimate goal is to make sure that they learn the music that will inspire them to play. Read More

Playing music takes a lot of time and patience as well as a lot of practice playing by yourself and in front of people. I am very relaxed and motivated to help my students learn and I will guide you through everything. I would prefer that students bring their own guitars so that you would be more comfortable playing your own instrument, if you can't or do not have one, I have guitars here that you may use but during our sessions only.

Growing up in Switzerland, I discovered my passion for music. After moving to Boston for music school, I graduated magna cum laude from Berklee College of Music, equipping me with a profound understanding of the music industry and an in depth understanding of music theory. I then decided Boston was not the city for me and moved to Chicago in 2016 playing for a number of bands and teaching private lessons. Read More

Learning to play an instrument can be extremely overwhelming, so it's important that the student sets his or her own pace. My role as a teacher is simply to guide students along paths they choose for themselves. At the same time, I push students to explore ideas that they may not have thought to explore for themselves. For example, as a predominantly rock and blues oriented musician, some of the most profound growth I've experienced has come from learning the basics of classical theory. Read More

I happily teach at a pace that is comfortable for the student. If he or she only has time for a couple hours of practice a week, then we will progress at an equally stable pace in our lessons. I like to use written theory and ear training, but only if the student wants to learn with that technique. Guitarists and bassists can study tab with me as well. I encourage the student to bring in music they are excited about learning as the students often expose me to great music I may not have been familiar with before. Read More

I've been playing music for 13 years now. I started on drums but quickly became excited about the guitar and songwriting, and am now an award winning multi-instrumentalist and singer. In addition to frequently performing around Chicago, I'm a passionate instructor and love to share what I've learned from my B.A. in Music and real-world experiences. I moved to Chicago from Boston about a year ago and have immersed myself into the scene here as a solo artist as well as part of a band, so I'm looking forward to meeting new students and having fun lessons!

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
The key is consistency! Even practicing for just 15 minutes a day will help a student grow and learn. Singing is a game of muscle memory, so you have to be practicing on a regular basis to be successful. If you're not getting something, walk away from where you are practicing and take a break! Often I find this helps in my own practicing. Being able to take a step back and take a short break is an important life skill as well. I find that once I take a break and return to what I was doing, I can usually fix the problem!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
I don't usually set a minimum age requirement, but the child should be able to read at least at the 1st grade level. The child should also be able to stay attentive for half an hour. Usually for a young student, I will break up a lesson in sections. First with breathing/warmup exercises, then, depending on their level, I will do pitch matching games and music theory games to keep them engaged while learning very important material! Ultimately at that stage, lessons should be fun and engaging for the student. If you think your child would be interested, by all means, schedule a trial lesson!
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
My usual practice session is about an hour long. I typically begin with warmups that help my needs specifically. Lots of scales, staccato, and high notes with warming down in between. I then look at any new music I'm learning and spend at least 15 minutes on that. I typically work backwards when learning new music! I start at the end of the song or phrase, and learn it in sections until I get to the beginning! After I've learned new music, I review music that I've already learned. When I review music, I'm implementing musicality. I pay special attention to phrasing, dynamics, and diction.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I always knew that I wanted to sing. I have been singing from a very young age, and was participating in choirs, voice lessons, and musicals through high school. When I was thinking about what schools I was going to apply to for college, I was not planning on going to school for music. I was actually going to apply for nursing programs! Then, one day, my high school voice teacher sat me down and asked me what I saw myself doing in 10 years. I replied that I would probably be a nurse in my hometown! She then asked me if I would be truly happy doing that, and I realized that I would only truly be happy if I was singing and teaching music. I will forever be grateful to that teacher, and I'm so glad I made the decision to study music!

I have recently received a guitar as a gift because I've always wanted to know how to play. Definitely a beginner who hasn't picked one up before now.
