Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Euphonium Tuba Music Keyboard
I want my students to find enjoyment and purpose from making music first and foremost. Every student has a unique set of skills, and not every student learns the same way. I believe that something valuable can be learned from any single piece of music. Etude books, like Voxman's Selected Studies, and Rochut's Melodious Etudes are my go to for daily practice, but are not the only option available. I like to take a pragmatic approach to teaching, and will modify any exercises and routines as needed to get the best result from each student. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Saxophone Clarinet Recorder Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
I am goofy kind of gal who is a kid at heart so, while I do not allow the students to goof-off during practice, I definitely encourage the children to have fun and take breaks. Learning a new skill is taxing on the brain so I do enjoy inserting some brain-breaks here and there, when necessary. I'm also a very big sticker advocate! Most children enjoy them, and I love rewarding them after completing a song we've been working on. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I taught formal lessons after I had graduated from college. I have also instructed family and friends and have helped them further develop their piano skills. Encouraging regular practise and emphasizing proper hand and wrist placement are things that I emphasize. I like to watch and see why someone is struggling to play a song, and I am able to offer a solution. I like to teach students how to play music that they enjoy: their favorite songs by their favorite artists. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Drums Keyboard
That's where I get my joy. In High School, I was awarded the "Louis Armstrong Achievement Award" in jazz for playing drum set for the jazz band. In college, I performed with the HBCU All-star band during their National Band Directors Consortium. I was awarded first chair percussion. I've been playing Gospel Piano since 1998 and refined my skills at Chicago State University where I obtained my Bachelors of Music Education. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Viola Music Keyboard
I am a singer-songwriter, music educator, and actress from Chicago! I have always incorporated music into my life. My parents put me into violin and piano lessons when I was only four years old! When I was about twelve, I began to do musical theatre and then joined the award-winning group Musicality in high school. Throughout my time at Musicality, I grew from alternate, to member, to staff member, to associate director, and now to producer. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
I conduct my lessons based on students background, learning experience and their interests or goals. I like to use combined learning materials including classical music, popular music and chamber music. Also, anything students find interesting is welcomed in my lessons. Besides regular lessons, I encourage students to participate any kind of musical activities such as school talent shows, recitals. I hope my students would have solid music ability to explore any kind of music and love having music in their life. Read More
Instruments: Piano Organ Synthesizer Keyboard
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. as all students are different, I always respect that and teach accordingly.

Instruments: Guitar
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing effectively requires yo to have a specific piece to practice. I know practicing can be frustrating and sometimes overwhelming. That is why I recommend you to take breaks. Make sure you practice as many times as needed until you notice every detail of the song. Master it until you can finally play it and sound right. I personally like practicing other things while trying to learn something new. For instance, you are trying to learn Painting Black. You have spent two hours but still struggling to get every note of the song. Well, practice something else now. Go over a scale, play other chords unrelated to the song. 10 Minutes later practice the song you were trying to learn and I'm sure you'll get it right this time.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your kid has passion for music. If your kid is asking you to take them to the guitar shop. Or if they keep asking you to buy them and instrument, that's when you know your kid is ready to start. Some kids get really interested to learn to play guitar at very young ages. And the younger you learn the easier it is. I got my very first guitar when I was about 1 years of age. However, I was able to start getting lessons until about 3 months after I got it. Education is a key part if you want your kid to succeed as a musician.
When will I start to see results?
The more you practice he better results you will get. If you really commit to learning how to play guitar I can assure you you will start to see results within a few days or weeks. You need to be patient and understand that certain music pieces are complex and complicated. However, you are the one who determines how fast and much you will learn. If you are constantly practicing I would say it'll take you about a week to learn your first riff. That's never having experience or hands on a guitar before. If you had some previous training already, then learning and playing more fluently will be easier for you.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I love music. I love many musicians and music styles. However, I have been my own mentor. As a matter of fact I did take guitar classes when I started learning how to play. My professor as not the best in my opinion and he didn't teach me stuff that would help me improve as a musician. I decided I would take the wheel of my own learning. Since then I have been learning on my own. Everything I know and every "trick" I integrate into my guitar playing has been the product of ours of research and commitment.
