Instruments: Drums Latin Percussion
I can still remember the joy I felt when I first started playing drums and my passion is helping people experience that joy. In my musical career, spanning 38 years, I have performed with varied groups including: drumset with The Road Runners Blues Band, Catfish and Paul Plumeri Blues Band; West African, Middle Eastern and Afro-Cuban percussion with Groove Merchant Drum Dance Ensemble; bodhran and bones with traditional Celtic bands Kintail, Cwn Annwn and Browne Jenkyn; and snare drum with The First Highland Watch of Pennsylvania and Rev War Re-enactors First NJ Volunteers.

Instruments: Piano Flute Recorder
I am enthusiastic about music and enjoy giving my students the tools they will need to achieve their dreams. I don't believe I've taught two students in exactly the same way. I like to tailor my teaching for each individual I teach. I do keep in mind that some of my learners are more Visual learners, others more kinesthetic, and others more auditory. I make use of their strengths to help them develop new musical skills. Read More
Instruments: Voice
I am a singer and songwriter who is lucky to work in the field that she loves and can't wait to help you do what you love as well. I was classically trained at Point Park University's Conservatory of Performing Arts, majoring in musical theatre. I also work as a recording artist and songwriter for a licensing company, writing pop music for TV and commercials. I have included a music video for one of my original songs "Broken" on this profile, feel free to check it out! Read More
Instruments: Guitar Drums
My teaching experience dates back to the 1980's where I have taught Music Classes involving singing of worship music in religious elementary schools as well as teaching music theory, and music history. I was also a preschool teacher and taught preschool music enrichment classes. After school hours I enjoy teaching in my own home music studio, but due to pandemic have now switched to online music lessons. Teaching the guitar or drums to my students is very rewarding for it allows me to share my passion for music, keep music alive where as sometimes music is not present enough in this world, and to see my students progress and shine as they smile when they achieve a new musical goal!

Instruments: Piano
I've loved piano playing and performance since I attended a piano recital in college. I love to practice, and have developed methods to make practice more efficient and fun. I encourage students to attend recitals and performances whenever possible, since this can provide motivation and familiarity with the piano literature. I encourage students to choose the music they want to play, and don't impose my preferences on them, though classical literature and basic harmonic theory are important. I've performed numerous times, mostly in informal situations such as church, parties, rest homes, and hotels. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Clarinet Bass Guitar Double Bass
In regards to teaching style, I am persistant with practice, while understanding of ability. This is a method that is applied by setting goals and following a direction that introduces and builds upon ideas, all while taking the student's progress and aptitude into account. I often try to balance out the harder, sometimes tedious work of technique and theory with songs that the student requests or shows interest in playing. Read More

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I don't have a primary instrument, but if I had to narrow it down, I would say Piano, Bass, Drums, Ukulele. Those are my favorite instruments to play and those are my best instruments out of all of the instruments that I play. I can play pretty much any instrument, but banging on drums is probably what makes me the happiest. I can express my emotion and use dynamics to express different moods and feelings. I would love to teach others my primary instruments, but also other instruments I play to make the world a place full of musicians that play all kinds of instruments.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of playing with others and joining a musical community where I can play with others and make friends and new family members from it.
I got the John Phillip Sousa award in High School for being the best student in the entire orchestra for four whole years. Only one person gets that award. I also got to perform on live television which was a great experience.
I am in many bands.
One of them is currently making a music video.
Another one is recording a professional album and when done, the album will be sent to a friend who works as a scout for Razor and Tide records.
Another band just recently played at some fashion shows, a museum, and we are working our way up the ladder and getting closer to really getting our music out there.
Another band I am in has nine pre-grammy nominee awards and a music innovation award for their songs and music videos and we play at a festival in Brooklyn, New York.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Even though I am pretty young, I spent a lot of my life teaching myself how to play instruments and I have been performing for around five years.
That experience is what I needed in order to teach others how to play instruments to the point where they are so good at it, that they can perform live and feel comfortable playing around others.
I haven't had any students yet as this is the reason why I have joined the Musika Community.
I plan to teach students to the best of my ability and once I do that, we will see how many of my students decide to perform music to the point where they will have a chance to win awards or get special honors.
