Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard
My goal is to hear that students dont even realize how much theyre practicing throughout the week because theyre enjoying it so much! I always encourage 5 minutes a day to startthat time will usually increase naturally. I take time to get to know my students because I love to incorporate their other interests into the lessons to help keep them engaged. As a lifelong learner myself, I always encourage this quality because I believe that allowing yourself to be a beginner at something new all the time really fosters all-around success! Read More

My goal is to cultivate a relationship with music that will enrich the life of the student--of any level! I studied under two Jazz Messenger Alumni at Pitt, Leon Lee Dorsey, and Nathan Davis. In Chicago I got my MA at DePaul studying under Ron Perrillo, Dennis Carroll, and Dana Hall. I have blessed to perform with many important figures in jazz. Although jazz is my main focus, I truly love all forms of music and want to help the student mature their own taste and proficiency in whatever musical vain they desire. Read More

After graduating college and teaching in the public and charter school systems, I began to teach private lessons on my own in students homes. The experience is intimate, thoughtful and enriched as I am able to teach one on one in a comfortable setting for the students and we gain a lot of ground from the comfortable surroundings. As both a classroom teacher and private lesson instructor, I find great joy in teaching technique and creative skills. Read More

I have been singing since the tender age of three! I have loved singing and performing since then. This love has propelled me into the classrooms where I honed my craft. I also learned the discipline of practicing on other instruments as I went through high school at Emerson School for the Visual and Performing Arts. I graduated with honors as a vocal major. I later attended Wabash College and graduated as the only music major in the class of 2003. Read More

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.
