Instruments: Piano Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Keyboard
I grew up playing both piano and drums. In addition to my Piano Masters at Peabody, I minored in percussion and performed with the Peabody Percussion ensemble in Carnegie Hall. In the Air Force I played piano with the Washington State Air National Guard Jazz band for two years. I then transferred to the Pennsylvania Air National Guard where I played Tympani and other percussion for the Air Force Symphonic Band in Harrisburg. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part time for school years, and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio for the last 15 years. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
My private teaching experience dates back to my late high school years and after I graduated from college I began to teach professionally and I also include a wider range of instrumentations. I specialized in woodwinds and I can also teach novice piano and brass instruments as well. In my seven years of teaching experiences, I had helped many students with their auditions and musical growth. Some of them made All-State and/or junior All-State, many students made into All-County bands. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I graduated with honors from the University of Michigan with a Bachelor’s degree in Vocal Performance and a Teaching Certificate in K-12 Vocal Music. I also hold a Master of Music degree from the University of Maryland. Aside from my credentials, I possess a wealth of knowledge and experience in teaching vocal and piano technique, embodied in an approachable, humorous and joyful presence. I specialize in teaching piano and music theory, giving my students a solid foundation in the language of music which can transfer to any instrument. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trombone
I combine patience with an upbeat demeanor to provide entertaining and informative lessons for students. I want my students to improve and I understand that in order to improve I need to motivate my students. Kids see results working with me and that is why they enjoy the lessons. Soon they find themselves wanting to practice on their own time and really love the experience seeing themselves grow as a musician. Read More
Instruments: Piano Organ Music Keyboard
My teaching experience teaching private lessons dates back about 10 years. Before private lessons, I taught voice and piano to people of all ages in church. I believe that practicing consistently will produce the greatest results and always encourage my students to do so. Practice is not just about playing scales and chords, or singing warm-ups and Arias, but it is an opportunity to learn more about yourself and your instrument. Read More
Instruments: Piano
It is my goal to ensure that students always have fun during lessons, and learn that making mistakes and growing from them is an important and rewarding part of learning a musical instrument. For beginning students between the ages of 3-14, I typically use Faber's Piano Adventures method book series. These books offer a well rounded introduction to music theory and performance, while also including fun and exciting songs that students can play over and over again. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Recorder
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My parents tell me that I began to be interested in the violin at age two. I have no recollection of this, but after years of asking to play the violin, I began my violin lessons at age seven. My love of the instrument is still there now and is stronger than it was when I was a child. Growing up, I was really small for my age and very uncoordinated when it came to dance and sports. The violin was perfect for someone of small stature, as they make them in smaller sizes for children.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I would say that the musical accomplishment I am most proud of is just being able to enstill the joy of music into my students. My goal for them is to truly enjoy their instrument and most do! Besides that, I am proud that I have successful achieved a bachelors and masters degree in music. Some classes, like conducting class, pushed me out of my comfort zone, but made me a better musician in the process. I am also proud of the ensemble groups that I have played with for weddings. It is such a joy to make beautiful music for one’s special day.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Because I specialize in young beginner students, not many have one awards. That being said, my older students have been selected for All-District orchestra in PA, York Youth Symphony Orchestra, York Junior Symphony Orchestra, All-County Orchestra in Harford County, PA, Harford Youth Orchestra, and Harford String Orchestra. My students have been selected for admission in the Philadelphia Performing Arts Charter School and also have been awarded scholarships to attend music camps. My students have received high ratings in county and state solo and ensemble festivals in Maryland.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I think everything about the violin is difficult. Probably the one thing that is the hardest is intonation, also known as playing in tune. Since the violin does not have frets like a guitar, it can be challenging to figure out where to put your fingers. Beginner students frequently use tapes on their stringed instruments in order to grasp the finger placement. Intermediate and advanced students must use their ears instead of their eyes for finger placement. To do that, your ears must be keen and then you have to have the muscle memory as well for exact finger placement.
