Instruments: Piano Guitar
I started teaching private piano lessons to all ages and abilities when I was in college. I have experience with beginner level students ages 5-adult and intermediate level students ages 6-14. I have experience teaching traditional classical piano (reading sheet music), as well as pop piano (reading lead sheets). I've had the privilege of studying under several different piano professors and teachers in the past 15 years. I draw on their teaching styles, as well as my own experience in teaching. Read More

Upon a student's evaluation every lesson with any student should form it's own branch or life of it's own. Music is a passionate expression. I help students understand their instruments. Self expression, individualism, and self composition are traits I sought as a student and musician. My joy as a teacher, instructor and mentor is seeing the excitement someone achieves when they finally feel the "got it" or are starting to connect the dots. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Flute Organ
I began teaching shortly after graduating from college, not expecting that teaching would be something I'd be too keen about. However, it has really grown on me and I love the gift of giving music to prospective students and watching them grow and learn as I once did. I have been teaching at various locations/businesses throughout the NJ area from as south as Swedesboro to as north as Trenton. Read More

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

In my time as an instructor, I have not used any particular method book in my lessons. I will buy a notebook for each student where all important information from the lesson will be recorded. I write charts and exercises myself using tablature or standard notion depending on the student. As music being such a cumulative concept, I like to not only focus on pedagogy, but music theory and aural skills as well. Read More
Instruments: Piano
As a piano teacher, I like to know the goal of each student and help he/she accomplish that with joy and passion on music. During my lessons, Students not only learn how to play the piano, but also music theory and history. I help students track their progress in thier journal. Read More

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!
