For piano students, I like to use Alfred's piano methods. I find that their methods for both kids and adults not only covers the basic fundamentals of music, but they are also able to make everything comprehensive and enjoyable.

One of my first experiences teaching was in 2010 as a freshmen in college. I would teach my roommate different scales and some basic music theory.

To this day him and i are still close friends and are still making music together 8 years later. Since graduating college in 2014 my time has mostly been spent performing and touring. Read More

We sent students to perform at Terminal 5 in New York City where they performed alongside members of the rock group Living Color. Students also performed at famed venues such as the Ridgefield Playhouse and the Spaceland Ballroom.

Grad school further contributed to my development as an educator and artist, and gave me new skills to take my career to the next level. Read More
