Instruments: Piano Voice Flute
Piano - there are as many method books as there are different kinds of pianos! I use, but am not limited to, the following: Faber, Noona, Wunderkeys, Pianotown, Alfred, Helen Mier, Snell, and more. I like to start any student that comes to me with what they already have. For a young student - I will start with Faber as it is the easiest to understand for younger players. Other than that - I gear the lessons to each individual student. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet
I’m a positive instructor who thoroughly loves working with students, helping them meet their goals, and enabling them to enjoy music for the rest of their lives! I have a Masters in clarinet performance from Indiana University, but also hold a Bachelors in music education with a current K-12 instrumental teaching license. I’ve been blessed to perform all over the United States, at Carnegie Hall, and in 5 other countries with orchestras, bands, and a drum & bugle corps. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar
I started teaching private guitar lessons in 2018, mostly with adults. I have experience teaching pop guitar (reading lead sheets). I had the privilege of learning guitar from two guitar professors at the University of Dayton. Because of my music therapy background, I am open to teaching all levels and all abilities. I am committed to adapting/catering each lesson to the student in order to help them best achieve their goals. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I believe, the beggest advantage of the teacher, do not put pressure on the student personaliity, do not to impose your own individuality, dose not make it a role model and play for yourstudents as much as possible. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Flute Organ
I first started music at a young age through my local church; my first instrument being flute. I studied flute for many years before taking formal voice lessons. This led me to become a voice performance major at the Manhattan School of Music, where I sang lead roles in and outside of the school. In addition, I continued my flute studies as well as strengthen my piano skills. I've had the opportunity to perform at the Kimmel Center as soloist and chorister, Symphonic Space (NYC), as well as abroad in Italy and France. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar
My teaching experience with guitar goes back to about age 14, when I was understanding and advancing faster than others around me or someone would ask me for advice or help. I never had the chance nor opportunity to advance my studies to get a degree. Thoughout all these years it has been shown that some gifts are certainly not to be taken advantage of. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Flute Music Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
I am a singer/songwriter who enjoys the process of creating a song from start to finish. I also am a studio singer and love the experience of being in the studio recording my own original music. I graduated in 2009 with a contemporary music degree that provided a well-rounded musical education. My favorite part of my educational experience was the time I spent at the Contemporary Music Center at Martha's Vineyard for a special off-campus artist program. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I would like to use specific teaching methods and books I really enjoy Hal Leonard, that is the book that taught me guitar. I also strongly recommend purchasing 24 Italian Songs and Arias or 26 Italian Songs and Arias. It has a great selection of music spanning from more beginning singers to advanced singers. Also, it is beautiful music that is great for auditions!
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session would start with a warm up. It is so important to warm up before singing, because if you don't warm up, you can damage your voice over time. It is like stretching before dancing! After the initial warm up, I would either assign or go over a song I had already assigned last lesson that the student has been practicing. If we are just learning the piece, I would have the student say it out loud slowly and tell me what they think the song means. We would go over any words they had trouble pronouncing or understanding, and then bring the diction to work with the music. I like to let my students sing through it once for me to hear their progress, and then for me to have them sing through it again and point out ways to make it sound even better!
For piano, I first figure out the sklil level of my student. If they are a beginner, I start with keys on the piano, some theory, and maybe simple pieces to start playing with. If they are more intermediate, I may start them on some pieces right away!
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I think the hardest thing to master on my instrument is correct diction (in other languages especially) and fluidity of sound. It takes awhile to get the correct pronunciation of words, as well as to master IPA. Another thing that I have found difficult is the fludity of sound, which means that every tone you sing sounds the same as the next tone. It truly can be what separates a metropolitan opera star from a struggling opera singer in the field!
For piano, the hardest thing to master is the dexterity and flexibility. Reading music with more than two sharps or flats can be difficult as well. Practice truly makes perfect with piano. You can't get better at piano without practicing.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of winning the NATS (National Association of Teachers of Singing) competition back in Colorado. I won in classical category for my age group and got 2nd place in musical theatre category. I was especially proud of this accomplishment because I worked really hard for this. I had already been preparing music for music school acceptance, so I had a lot of time to prepare for the competition. It showed me that I should be proud of how far I had come vocally!
