Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Ukulele Music

I'm a passionate teacher who loves working with students of all ages and sharing my love for music. I teach general music at an elementary school, but I love teaching private instrumental lessons outside of my primary teaching job. I graduated from Marywood University in Scranton, Pennsylvania with a Bachelor of Music in Music Education. During my time in college, I toured many local areas with a saxophone quartet and had the amazing experience of touring China with the university's wind ensemble. Read More

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Alfred Piano Basics. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to work from Czerny and introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Read More

I started teaching since I was a college student, which's seven years ago. From that time, I have been consistently teaching students until now. The students I've taught were in different age and level. Due to the differences between students, I change my teaching methods a lot. The youngest kid I taught was in age four. I set some fun exercises to let her be interested in learning rhythm and notes in a natural way. Read More

I always want to make sure my students can apply what they learn in my lessons to their participation in their actual choirs. If a student is preparing for a PMEA Choir audition, I will help them prepare the repertoire as well as provide a mock audition. If they sing in a church choir, we will work on sight singing hymns as well as working on any difficult literature. If they simply want to learn more about music theory, I will focus on that.

My Student Teaching semester granted me the opportunity to work with elementary and secondary levels; starting beginners and working with students preparing for district band as well as college careers.  It was nice to work with this range in age and skill level, whether they were aiming for career goals or simply playing for fun! I now teach Elementary Vocal / General Music in Baltimore County Public Schools grades k-5. In addition to my students through Musika, I have also worked with a company teaching piano lessons to children with Autism. Read More

I feel that nothing is more rewarding than seeing that my student has learned something and from that, develops a passion for music. I try to keep each student's progress at their own pace by setting and keeping realistic goals for my students at their lessons. I am very positive during lessons, because I feel that acknowledging any accomplishment helps keep the student interested and fuels a desire to continue to get better. Read More
