Instruments: Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Music Djembe
Upon meeting a student for the first time I like to hear from them about where their interests lie, what their goals are, and what they already know about their instrument and music in general. Lessons are custom-tailored based on these facts. I like attempting to expand on their interests and introduce them to music they may not be aware of but I think they'll love. My favorite part is when they light up upon hearing something really cool for the first time! Read More
Instruments: Harp
I believe the best way to begin and stay motivated is through setting goals and seeing your hard work pay off. We will keep a log of your goals and progress and celebrate your journey. Each student has his/her own goals for why s/he wants to learn the harp, and I am honored to be a part of that journey. I am a joyful person and like to inform my lessons with praise and fun.

Instruments: Piano
Piano lesson advantage! Learning the piano is an excellent instrument to branch out to other instruments if desired. This polyphonic tool also helps teach basic chord structures (major/root, minor, augmented, diminished, etc.) much sooner than a single toned instrument. Piano lessons helped me learn other instruments very fast and would like to teach to this end if desired! PERSONAL EQUIPMENT - Kawai acoustic piano, Korg 2200 digital piano, Yamaha MM6 synthesizer and a Yamaha E213 keyboard. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Synthesizer Keyboard
I am both a musician and a mentor to people who want to enter into the music industry. Music has been a fundamental part of my life from when I was just five years old, and has continued to be my passion and career. I did not always think I would be a musician professionally, but while at university I discovered a new meaning to music and the opportunities it possessed. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
My teaching methods depend on the instrument, age and experience of the student, and the goals for the lessons. Every student will develop a solid base of fundamentals and music reading that grows into study of a variety of styles of music. Read More
Instruments: Bass Guitar Double Bass
I love to see my student's grow and achieve their goals. I am excellent at catering to my student's needs to make a practical lesson plan to get from A to B. MAny of my student's have not left since I have taken them on. Some of them are in their 7th year of study. I am very proud of that. Read More

With 15 years of experience and a passion for helping students find the joy of cello playing, I focus on creating a foundation of solid playing technique as well as helping students to experience the creative side of music making.

Instruments: Violin Viola Music
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
The defining moment was in 5th grade after I won my first solo audition for the Koger Center; I'd been playing for less than a year. I played in front of thousands of people and there was a thrilling sensation I felt, knowing that I was able to touch the lives of so many people with sound. That's when I knew then that music would be a part of me for the rest of my life. Music heals, when words cannot.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Majority of my family members (aunts and cousins) are singers, my dad played the keyboard and organ by ear and my mother is completely tone deaf.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started playing piano after I started playing violin. It made it easier to see the intervals vs having to feel them on the violin.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Essential Elements (shows the beginning basics of the violin/viola).
Suzuki (to focus on memorization)
Carl Flesch (Scales-which improve intonation)
Kreuzer (Etudes-to focus on various techniques)
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
My students have auditioned for Region and All-State Orchestra, each one of them have successfully made it, not because of me, but because of their dedication and willingness to work hard.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Intonation is definitely the hardest thing to master on the violin or viola. Simply because you can't see where to put your fingers (like a guitar or piano). With time and consistent practice the student will build muscle memory and intonation will no longer be an issue.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Majority of my older cousins were playing violin in their school orchestras. I went to a couple of their concerts when I was younger and I haven't looked back since.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Don't feel bad if you didn't achieve your goal in your current practice session. Re-evaluate the way you're practicing. Take it one measure at a time, if you need to, take it one beat at a time and repeat it for 5 mins. Play it slowly with a metronome and build it up to the performance tempo.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If they're willing to focus for at least 30 minutes straight, they're ready. Typically a child is ready if they're constantly asking or obsessing over music. Don't worry about them being bored in their lessons, it's my job to make the lessons fun :)
When will I start to see results?
If the student follows the practice structure given at their first lesson, you'll see results within the first week. It's extremely important that the student practices consistently, this will show the best results.
