I want to carry on my passion for music onto other students. I often try to acknowledge how well a student is doing whether they are pacing fast or slow. No matter where and how a student gets stuck, I always will try to work out difficulties and obstacles by working closely alongside them and encouraging them. I also have a system for students where they will earn a star if they reach a certain goal, so that they will feel like the accomplished musicians they will become. Read More

I began teaching privately in the greater Milwaukee area in 2012. With my help and motivation, a fifth grader decided to keep his flute and play in his beginning band, despite his families' circumstances. Later, I picked up an interested eighth grader, who eventually received a Gold at regional solo contest and also made the all-state band. Motivation, "keeping it real", and an upbeat attitude have continued to yield personal and academic results in my studio. Read More

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Alfred Piano Basics. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to work from Czerny and introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing music doesn't have to involve long frustrating sessions of sitting at the piano. Often, students struggle with practicing effectively because they struggle with knowing what they should be practicing. Practicing in shorter segments of 10-20 minutes at a time with one main goal in mind can drastically improve one's practicing.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Piano lessons involve a significant amount of sitting and listening in order to be productive. If your child is able to concentrate on a task for at least 5-10 minutes, they can certainly start lessons. Lessons typically involve different activities in order to keep students engaged. Being able to be attentive for 5-10 minutes at a time will ensure that they will be able to be productive when practicing by themselves as well.
When will I start to see results?
Results depend on a number of factors, including time spent practicing between lessons, interest in material, and overall passion for music. Busy schedules may conflict with practice time, and young children typically progress slower than older children and adults. In general, results are seen after the first few weeks of lessons. Short term goals allow students to see the small steps in their progress, and long term goals of one month or longer allow students to see their hard work pay off in larger ways.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of performing my senior piano recital in October of 2019. I was able to overcome my own performance anxiety, and performed a beautiful program of classical and jazz inspired music for a large crowd of family, friends, and community members.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I typically use the Faber method books. These books provide a fun and productive way to learn basic, intermediate, and advanced skills at the piano, and they have method books for very young students, as well as for the older beginning and adult student.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
For me, a normal practice session involves 15-20 minutes of scales and other technical exercises, followed by one or two hours of working on whatever material I need to work on. I often divide my practice sessions into sections of 15-20 minutes, and focus on one particular musical section or goal for that length of time.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a Music Degree in Piano Performance. I chose this degree in order to continue growing as a musician by learning music of higher difficulties in many different areas of music history. The piano performance degree allowed me to grow as a performer, while also teaching me ways to improve and build on my own teaching skills.
