Instruments: Double Bass
My teaching direction is generally based on the individual's needs/requests. However, an in-depth look at universal bass techniques is what I implement in a student's lesson and practice assignment. I use George Vance's book Vade Mecum for introducing the positions of the double bass, thumb position, scales and arpeggios. I have found Developing Virtuosity by Latham Music, and Essentials for Strings by Gerald Anderson to be resourceful for rhythms, bowing variations, etudes, and an introduction into performance application.

Instruments: Voice Tuba
I have been teaching young students, both in voice and tuba, since high school, and I've always enjoyed it! I pride myself on looking to make things easy and comfortable for the voice, whether you are looking to sing classically, in music theater, or in pop music! Read More
Instruments: Piano
I'm a patient and dedicated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my knowledge of piano-playing. I graduated from Columbia with a degree in Political Science in 2017 and I'm currently pursuing my Masters of Music degree under the tutelage of Richard Goode. I hope to enter a Doctorate program next year, and I'm working towards fulfilling my goals of performing around the world at a high level as well as eventually teaching piano in a university setting.

Instruments: Piano Voice Recorder Oboe Music Keyboard
I began teaching while I was in college to young band students who had never before picked up an instrument, whether it was the keyboard or the oboe. This required teaching not only the technique of the instrument but also foundational musicianship. I also worked consistently with other college-aged students while they completed their piano skills courses, as well as the younger oboists in their technique courses and reed making classes.

Teaching music has been a part of my life for ten years. I have been teaching saxophone, clarinet, flute, and piano to all ages in many different parst of the country including Utah, New England, New Jersey, and New York. I encourage my students to practice developing good habits but also having fun. I love all types of music and try to make what ever music/band the student is passionate about a part of the lesson, making the lesson educational and enjoyable. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Ukulele Double Bass
I create and tailor my lesson plans and course to each student. In general we balance working on technique, tone, repertoire (songs) and improvising/composing. I always pick music to study that the student is interested in as well as classic pieces that are timeless relics in the music world. I have several method books that I also work out of such as the Hal Leonard Guitar Method, Jazz Bass Method, George Vance, Simandl and several more. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Effective practicing does not mean practicing for hours on end. I believe there needs to be a balance between music, practice, and life. The proper technique is great for effective practice and technique is not just physical, it is mental too. I try to have my students practice ear-training, and learn music theory as well as play. This creates a well-rounded musician. I do not want to teach how to play an instrument. I want my students to learn all about music. This creates more than a musician. this creates a person who can take these skills throughout every aspect of life.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
I would say if your child asks to take lessons or shows an interest in an instrument than your child is ready to start to take lessons. I think five to six years old and up is a good age to start on certain instruments like piano. Guitar, bass, and other sting instruments are difficult because you would need a smaller scaled instrument in order for your child to play comfortably. Percussion instruments are a bit tricky as well, but like I said if a child shows interest it is always a good thing to start lessons.
When will I start to see results?
You should start to see results immediately. However, it may not be great progress. There is a to think about when a child, or anyone is taking music lessons. The person uses memory that they might not have used before, physical movements are different, and the person is reading a whole new language. Try to notice the small things and focus on the small accomplishments. The small things will equate to more progress in the future. I also do not think it is about noticeable progress. For example, there are musicians who practice a piece, a few bars of music, or a new technique and the practice will not come through until months later. It is always different for different people. Just ask, "is my child happy?" or "am I satisfied with the lesson?"
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I did not have a teacher who inspired to get into music. However, my first private teacher inspired me to go to college for music. He was a great inspiration to want to teach music and to want to learn. Now I have my masters degree from an ivy league university and I am going for a second masters degree and possibly a doctoral degree. The encouragement he gave me led me to play music professionally and make good money playing. I would have been lost without his guidance and advice. I am very thankful for his support.
