Instruments: Piano Cello Drums Bass Guitar Ukulele Electric Violin Double Bass Music Electric Guitar
I've also found that a combination of classical,jazz, and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. If a student isn't having fun in their lessons, then I'm not doing my job! My students are encouraged to enter competitions and recitals, as well as work on composing their own original material, so they can feel good about their accomplishments and stay motivated to learn.

Instruments: Voice
As a veteran industry singer, I've worked in the markets of Los Angeles, New York City, Europe, Japan and Las Vegas. I am accomplished in Classical, Jazz, Rock, Pop and Musical Theater styles and have professional experience in each of these genres. I am able to take a novice singer to professional and a professional to world class. My focus is on vocal technique in all commercial styles and establishing the insights and identity of a competent and successful singer. Read More
Instruments: Drums
I start every lesson with the first lesson from my book called DRUM STUFF. It's what I call Basic Beat # 1 and it is the foundation on ANY song in 4/4 timing. As the student progesses, we work on other lessons with the goal of playing songs from various publishing companies, music they may have from band or songs I have personally written out or that they may have heard on the radio.

Instruments: Flute Drums
I'm a fairly new private lessons teacher finishing my Music Education/Composition Bachelor's degree. I have studied with some of the best flute and drumset players. I have performed many genres throughout my musical career. I have also played music for many different settings such as church, football, parades, celebrity shows, nonprofit organizations, rallys, and competitions. I am very excited to teach young and intermediate musicians new techniques, music theory, and methods of learning to play music effectively and joyfully. Read More
Instruments: Violin
I strongly believe that fundamentals need to be the basis for learning. If students are not comfortable with basics such as posture, bow hold, and how to produce good tone, they will not be able to learn more advanced techniques. Because of that, I don't let students work on music that is too advanced for them. In our lessons, we will always work together to figure out each student's goals and a realistic plan to achieve them. Read More
Instruments: Violin Viola
As a violin teacher my goal is to see how much each of my students has progressed from the beginning. I have to approach individually to each of them according to their characters, temperament, abilities to learn in order to choose the program for them. I always inspire my students to progress in the world of music, encourage them to learn and practice more. It's a scientific fact, that all the students who practice and play music, they have a better scores in their studies at the school. Read More
Instruments: Bass Guitar
I teach each student at their own pace, I do not move forward until the student has a firm grasp on the previous lesson. I believe in a strong foundation of basic musical skills. I structure each students lessons to meet their individual goals while keeping them engaged and excited about the process of learning. Read More
Instruments: Violin Viola Recorder Fiddle
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I have always thought about this question and was never completely sure. At one point, I thought that I would become a doctor, but then I realized I could not stand the sight of blood.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite genre of music to play is classical music because it is what I grew up listening to all of the time. However, there are certain pop, rock, and country songs which I have learned to play which I also enjoy. For example, I enjoy playing Devil Went Down to Georgia by Charlie Daniels on violin since it is a song which a lot of people know and has a catchy tune.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started playing viola after violin since I really liked that it was a lower sounding instrument and not as piercing. My recorder education started my me not being satisfied with how it sounded in the group class. Based on having a good ear from playing violin, I knew that this instrument should be able to sound better. After that, my mom got me a recorder book with a fingering chart. I started by being self taught but realized that if I wanted to play recorder on a professional level (same ability as violin and viola) that I would need to take lessons and find a teacher. Luckily, there was a teacher in my area, and I really enjoyed taking recorder lessons alongside of my violin and viola lessons.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My mother and father are both musicians. My father retired as principal violist of the Chicago Symphony, and my mother was a public school orchestra teacher. Both of my brothers played instruments as well, but since they never practiced and did not have the desire, they decided not to continue music and pursued other fields instead. I was the only child in the family who practiced and pursued music as a career.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I decided to become a professional musician after having the opportunity to perform with groups on a high level. I remember being really inspired by having the opportunity to perform with the Civic Orchestra of Chicago when I was in high school. The Civic Orchestra is a training orchestra designed for high level university and graduate students to train to become professional musicians in major orchestras, and I had the opportunity to perform with this group when I was only in high school. Additionally, I won a section viola spot with the Ann Arbor Symphony when I was studying viola at the University of Michigan, and I really enjoyed performing with a professional orchestra outside of just with the students in University orchestra. When I won my viola fellowship with the New World Symphony in Miami, I was determined to continue my path towards becoming a professional musician since this was also a very high level orchestra. After the New World Symphony, I joined the San Antonio Symphony as a trial member and then eventually won the job with this orchestra. The San Antonio Symphony performed at a very high level although I do not perform with them anymore since they went bankrupt. Since the bankruptcy, the Musicians of the San Antonio Symphony played on and eventually formed the San Antonio Philharmonic. I am currently a member of the San Antonio Philharmonic and plan to continue performing professionally with this group.
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 a bachelors degree in viola performance, and I chose that degree since I was really passionate about performing and teaching music. I enjoy performing in as many group combinations as possible in various settings (orchestra, chamber music, wedding setting, funeral setting, etc.). Additionally, I am very passionate about spreading my musical knowledge to others since I would like them to have the opportunity to enjoy music and learn it to the very best of their abilities.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream piece to perform would be anything from the baroque era or anything written in a neo classical style. I really like these genres of music since recorder music has been written in these styles. I wish that I would have an opportunity to perform Christopher Ball's Concerto for Recorder and Strings since this piece is modern, but it sounds a little bit romantic in style.
