Instruments: Piano Voice
I have loved singing since I could first talk! I grew up singing in choirs, shows, and church. When I attended the Governor's School for the Arts in Norfolk, VA for high school, I realized that music and singing would be my career path for life. There, I was classically trained and learned to sing opera. I went on to complete my Bachelor's degree and Master's degree in voice. I am excited to have moved to Chicago with my husband, Sean.

Fun, energetic and productive! My students always say that they leave their lessons with a burst of inspiration. I love to teach my students the basic tools of what it takes to be a professional musician, whether or not they are into music as a hobby or as a serious profession. I currently play drums for the hit Broadway musical (non-union version) of Rock of Ages and when I'm not on the road; Read More

My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part time 10 years ago, and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio or in their homes for the last 10 years. Im always looking to bring on new students of all ages! I encourage my students to enter competitions and recitals so they can feel good about their accomplishments and stay motivated to learn.

While instructing private voice students, I teach the functional approach to singing. This mindset allows the vocalist to focus on singing freely in all genres. I believe it is important to not only teach a wide variety of repertoire, but to also inform my students on vocal health. Along with a functional approach to the voice, I promote a safe and welcoming environment to make music in. If a student does not feel comfortable in the space they are in, then they will not perform to their fullest potential and I would not have completed my job. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
For beginning students, I typically start with the Piano Adventures series. I learned from those books and they provide a well-rounded foundation of technique, lesson material, and performance material. That series also begins teaching basic music theory from the start. Piano Adventures is also great for visual learners- with pictures and diagrams to help understand the concepts in the lessons. My goal is to start students with strong technique and a practice plan.

Instruments: Piano Synthesizer
Throughout my music career, I had amazing teachers that helped me grow as a musician. I have taken the best of these experiences to help me become a better teacher. I strive to create a passion for music through learning, positive reinforcement and by creating an environment that is nurturing. While I believe in structure, discipline and hard work, I also want my learning environment to be fun. Building a strong foundation in music theory is important, but finding and unleashing the students passion for music is just as important. Read More

For adults, I like to assess their skills and goals individually and choose a program that will work best for them. I usually still stick with the Alfred's books, but there are combination levels geared toward older learners. VOICE: For voice students, I start with vocal exercises and conversations that help me to get a full picture of a student's abilities and needs. I then start with a comprehensive program of breath support awareness, pitch matching and intervals, vowel shape, vocal placement, and more depending on what kind of singing (musical theatre, rock, pop, etc.) they are interested in developing.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on my instrument is speed. When you obtain the speed that you want to obtain and want to apply it in many different songs it makes a big difference. Speed playing makes a difference in beat, soloing, and memorizing different songs. That is what it is hard to master. It is something that you would acquire throughout time and just throughout practice. Another thing that is hard to master is to learn step by step on what exactly you want to play. IT is hard for beginners and when i was a beginner I did not know until I practiced and practiced. I eventually got use to my instrument.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I do use a specific teaching methods and that is through listening, utube tutorials and through music theory. I choose ear training since ear training is a fabulous ability that most people want to acquire. It is an easy ability that I have. I taught a lot of people about ear training and that it's benefits about ear training. One of the reasons is that you as a musician would have better performance and better accuracy. I choose utube since a lot of people have the ability to learn visually. By watching you have a better picture of what exactly you want to play. Finally, I choice music theory since that's where all the principals of music is at. You get to learn a lot about music theory and get to also teach about what you learned.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice for me is preparing every instrument I have at my control and hanging out with friends or students. Helping them choose the structure of their song and where they want to take their own song. Preparing the sound, equipment, and lights. Every practice session should have a light and music sheets hanging on their wall. Many artists that inspire them and guitars, pianos, many books about music. It has to be sound prove and their should be total silence when entering the room. In the end you are the one that gets to manage how you would want to manage your own practice session.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
If I had a degree it would be on Music teacher. Ever since I was a kid i always had the desire and passion to teach music to anyone one at any age. My biggest dream was to become a music teacher and to teach music of my own knowledge and my own understanding of music. I started realizing that through out time i wanted this job since it was a job that I would stick with it for the rest of my life knowing that I impacted many children and teenager's lives throughout my music and my music lessons.
