Nothing is more rewarding that seeing one of my students 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 student's desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More

I'm a professional guitarist with over ten years of experience teaching music to students of all ages. My goal is always to help my students to bring out the music within them in a fun way. I like to focus in very small theoretical and very big practical components to get the most out of every single bit of information delivered. My experience as a performing musician is very vast and covers a very wide range of styles, such as Blues, Rock, Pop, Jazz, Latin, Brazilian, Country, Funk and Fusion. Read More

The methods I use change depending on the student, but generally, I use the following: - Piano: start with Alfreds (suited for age/proficiency), then choose a specialty (improvising, classical, pop, etc) - Guitar: start with Hal Leonard (for note reading), then choose a specialty (jazz, pop, classical, flamenco, etc) - Voice: because of the nature of the human voice, I dont use a book, but rather teach principles and methods to use during practice and performance Regardless of the instrument, I hope to help you improve as much as I can.

Fun. Music is fun. Learning music should be fun. My style of teaching is to take what I find fun about playing music and introduce it to my students in gradual easy to understand steps. I do my best at teaching my students to read, write and create music. I also include many fun exercises to achieve finger dexterity. For my more advanced students I will take them to local open mic nights to help grow their confidence. Read More

Because of my diverse musical training, I excel in creating custom lesson-plans to help each student reach their goals. For younger students who have don't such specific goals, I can engage and fuel their passion for music by my experience-based methods that emphasize technique, familiar songs and theory. I am patient and encourage creativity and growth in lessons. Every-person has a different learning style and I am quick to discover how to identify that for my students. Read More

For my VOICE students, I believe in the 5 steps method. This consists in 1. Relaxing, 2. Breathing, 3. Vocalization, also known as Vocal Warm-Ups, 4. Sol-fa, 5. Song Preparation. My voice students know that their voices is the only instrument that cannot be bought and replaced, and for that reason, we all need to take good care of it and educate it so it lasts forever. For my GUITAR students, I start with left and right hand exercises so the fingers get articulated and well trained. Read More

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I learned how to play the piano and then learned to sing. I also learned other types of instruments.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
When I was very young, I began singing and learning several instruments. I have been very lucky to have such wonderful teachers helping me from learning and then into becoming a professional. Over all these years of singing, I have loved every part of it: from Broadway, Opera, and many other styles!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Several teachers from kindergarten to post-Bachelor degree "took me under their wing" and encouraged me to sing whatever I loved. I was always eager to learn and would sing my heart out washing dishes or on a bycicle ride. Singing is within everyone!
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I loved to sing from when I was a little girl; I also wanted to learn piano because my fingers loved the sound. I'm happy to accompany, but my greatest desire above all else has been to sing in public
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Winning the National Association of Teachers of Singing for New England and then offered roles around all New England states and invited to sing a major role in Carlisle Floyd's opera. I have sung many roles in Opera, been asked to sing an hour or two of songs from 1400 to the present. I have taught in many universities.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I also am a poet and writer. It have been wonderful to have several books published!
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream was to sing in Broadway and Opera and have been so excited to do many roles!
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 three degrees in singing, opera and learning how to communicate with people around the world!
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice is reviewing the songs I love, and making them better and better!
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Finding your true voice through open throat, diaphragm breathing, facial bond opening and finally feeling all in the body as a singer-actor
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Yes, many. They all have graduated or are intending to choose music for their degree. Almost all of these wonderful students have gone into professional life as singer-teacher. Some have song around the world!
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love singing all types. I have been asked to sing all types of songs. I love them all!
When will I start to see results?
Many students will see results at the first lesson. Most will feel their singing open and a little later feel their breathing become part of their natural feeling. Singing becomes so much easier and fulfilling!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice with all your heart, learning the exercises and have as a goal to memorize the songs. Choose music you love and feel comfortable and happy with!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If the child is ready, they will become happy after a few lessons. If a child does not want to practice or attend lessons, wait a bit.
