Instruments: Guitar
For beginning students, I typically start with some exercises for the left hand and right hand, easy arpegios, scales, melodies and chords. Once the student progresses to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For advanced students, I start with intermediate and advanced studies and pieces like 12 Studies of Fernando Sor, studies of Leo Brower, 12 studies of Villa Lobos or some famous spanish reprertoire for guitar such as Rodrigo, Turina, and Torroba.

Instruments: Guitar Voice
I began teaching back in Boston when I was finishing up college. I immediately loved it and have been teaching now for over 7 years. I love teaching online and in person lessons in my studio, but I have also taught at various schools. I really focus on making my student comfortable and eager to learn more. I love music so much and I hope some of that shines through and inspires my students. Read More
Instruments: Violin Viola
For young students, I use a Suzuki Method hybrid, meaning I incorporate additional note-reading and music theory elements while using the Suzuki Violin books and Suzuki's core values of imitation and ear training. I also supplement with many pieces outside of the Suzuki Method, including folk, blues, fiddle, and other styles. As students progress I include traditional etudes, technique studies and scales. My ultimate goal is to give my students all the tools they need to play and learn pieces on their own, and to that end I ensure they fully comprehend and master each step of learning before introducing new concepts.

I like to think of my teaching styles and methods as very practical yet very encouraging and nurturing. The best way to ingrain a new concept or idea I have found is to teach someone a practical way in how to use it, usually through learning a new song or exercise which expands their horizons and outlook on things. Nothing invigorates me more than to see students get excited when they finally understand or grasp something I have taught them. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Bass Guitar Synthesizer Euphonium French Horn Tuba Music
Admittedly limited, my teaching experience started when I was in High School when I became the marching Band's trumpet section leader. I really enjoyed sharing my knowledge and experience with otherswatching people grow in their musicianship is an incredible reward for me and I'd love to experience it more in my life! In college, I once again assumed the role of student and absorbed everything that I could. Now that I am graduate, I am very ready to share that with those who would have it. Read More
Instruments: Voice
I am here to help my students learn and grow and make progress at their own pace. I will be here to help each individual student set goals. I will be empathetic and understanding and make sure to acknowledge accomplishments throughout my time with my student to encourage them, and have them feel good and acknowledge their hard work, skills, and improvement. I hope to see or create a spark of desire and love of music and learning. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing is about quality and consistency. It is very important to be focused on a specific goal when you're practicing, and to also make sure you are practicing the right things. You must ask yourself, why am I practicing what I am practicing? and what is the end result for practicing what I am practicing? It is also very important to be consistent with your practice. 15 minutes of focused practiced a day is better than cramming 6 hours of practice two times a week, since your muscle memory will develop much faster.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Your child is ready to start lessons whenever they begin to show a strong interest for music and an aptitude for learning. Since children are highly capable of retaining information, it is probably the best point in life for them to start learning. There are so many connections being made in the brain at this young age, that they will soak everything in like a sponge, and in turn it will benefit them in the long run. Music has so many beneficial aspects. It is one of the only subjects in life that is mental, emotional, physical and spiritual all at once.
When will I start to see results?
The more time and effort you put into your musical pursuits, the quicker you will begin to see results. The results that you want to see can start happening within a matter of days if you are having consistent and quality practice sessions. Music is a life long endeavor, so depending on how far you want to take your musical pursuits will determine the amount of results you will receive. Ironically, the more you improve the harder on yourself you become, due your high expectations and you will want to see even more results more quickly. It is a journey up and downs, and ups and downs that is all relative to the individual.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I have had multiple teachers that have inspired me throughout my life, whether they were teaching me bass, arranging or theory, and have found that they all have something in common. They all have the ability to connect with their students in an enthusiastic way and not bog them down by being overly academic and regimented. They are able to make connections with what they are teaching to not just music itself, but with other aspects of life. I think this is very important and is something that I strive for myself as a teacher.
