Instruments: Piano Drums Keyboard Djembe
Passion for music and fluency with the language of music are my ultimate goals. When I can get students passionately and freely expressing themselves, without hesitations, inhibitions, or apologies, I feel I have liberated the master artist that dormant within each of us. Everyone has such a powerful, and beautiful voice within: to be able to fearlessly communicate it through the power of music is my goal for all students. Read More

As a composer and multi-instrumentalist, I have put myself in a position that brings me across an extremely wide and dense variety of music that I've been only too happy to explore. In addition to my long-running classical training with piano, clarinet and composition, I've explored jazz, world, rock, fusion, electronic and avant-garde music through the acquisition of my composition degree and through extensive research and self-teaching with saxophone and guitar.

From 2010-2012, I taught out of the House of Music in Orland Park, while also keeping my own private students. Currenlty, I am only teaching through creditable web-music-lesson companies for in home or out of my studio instuction. Outside of my education experience, I also have real life experience as a performer, the greatest educator of all. I have been performing in bands since I was 12 years of age, which is currently over 20 years of live performance experience. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I have been teaching private piano lessons for the last 5 years in the USA and Serbia, and have been consistently teaching students in Rhythm School of Dance and Music, Niles, IL, for the last 2 years. I'mpassionate about making sure every student has what they need to become an independent musician, and I strive to get each student to reach their personal goals, whether it is to play for enjoyment or to make piano their career.

Instruments: Piano Violin Music
I am a Suzuki teacher. I love this method because it places emphasis on the skills learned, which can transfer over into any piece, rather than just learning the notes of a piece. I do think it is important to learn to recognize what you hear and play by ear, but I will not let my students fall behind with note reading. I typically begin basic note reading in the middle of book 1. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
In my teaching methods, I focus on the correct positioning of both hands and the body as a whole. Freedom of play is important to me, which will help the student to develop technically and artistically. Over many years of experience working with beginners, I have developed my own methodology that enables rapid growth in the play, and my students show very good results already in the first year. An example of this is my student, who entered Manhattan School with a big scholarship after her first year of study performing a concert by D. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I allow the students to progress at their own pace, and I love developing in them a passion for learning the piano. Learning to play the piano should be fun! Some of the process can be repetitive, but helping students see the payoff makes the repetitive part worth it. I am a positive, encouraing person. Students are comfortable with me and enjoy the lessons because of my attitude towards it. Read More
Instruments: Drums
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Go to practice with something specific in mind. A pattern, or a technique, tempo, something you want to accomplish. It doesn't have to be too structured. Just something that you can focus on enough to keep you engaged. Then go wherever your practice takes you. You need to have a certain foundation (rudiments, patterns) because you need something to focus on. Combining patterns will keep interested in what you are doing. This is the key to the joy of practicing. The key is to A. be conscious of what you are trying to accomplish in practice and B. to simply start doing it. Learn by doing. It takes effort, concentration, and perseverance, but is ultimately one of the most rewarding things you can do in life. Mastery through practice.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Students need to be good listeners. If your child is able to focus on a specific task for at least a couple minutes, this is good enough to keep them engaged in lessons. If they express interest in music or drums, that is a good sign. You as a parent should also be ready to make some type of commitment to music lessons (making sure they show up, encouraging music things, [we can work together on this]). It is okay to try things out. Think about if your child would be okay receiving instructions from another adult. See if they like the lesson (I am very patient and will do my best to create the best environment for your child).
When will I start to see results?
You should see some results relatively quickly (within the first couple months), whether they be improvements on the drums or overall positive mood changes. One of my current student's parents has told me they notice their child is much more pleasant and outgoing after our lessons. Quick results in the child's ability to play drums will be dependent on the child's effort and/or individual practice time. Even if they do not practice much at home, they may still be able to play fundamental drum beats 3-4 months into lessons.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My dad helped inspire my interest in music. He was a lead vocalist and founding member of Purple Reign, which was a wedding/party band that played and practiced a lot in the house I grew up in. They would set up all the equipment in the living room of what seemed to be weekly practices. I was able to get a taste of the drums at an early age and I always loved when the played. My dad also introduced me to all the classic oldies, funk, rnb, and pop music from the 60s and 70s. He would sing in the car and I always found myself singing along with him trying to harmonize before I even knew what that was. He encouraged me to pursue music and I might have given up if it weren't for his care.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I always thought drums were the coolest instrument. The energy and motion of the drummer driving the band, making the music happen. It was always something kind of magical to look at and listen to. The variety of percussive sounds you can get out of a drum kit is fascinating. It would blow my mind listening to what the drummer was doing, trying to understand it, trying to make sense of it. Its kind of a mystical experience what happens when you play the drums, and play them well. I loved them the first moment I hit the bass drum with my right foot and started to try to make cool beats. From there I was hooked.
