Instruments: Piano
I am an instructor whose passion is teaching students of all ages the love of music on the piano. In 2020, I graduated from Christopher Newport University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Piano Performance under Dr. Benjamin Corbin. While getting this degree, I realized my passion for teaching and went to get a graduate degree at George Mason University to get a Masters in Music with a concentration in keyboard pedagogy under Dr. Read More

My methods vary student to student- we all learn differently and my objective is to find what works, wether it be a quick demonstration, or a complete breakdown right to the fundamentals. No student is too slow nor incapable. One of the things I really keep my eye on is technique- nothing is more detrimental to a student's progress than poor technique and adaptation! I can quickly spot these future difficulties, and help the student develop the proper means and WHY -with encouragement and positive reinforcement! Read More
Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
I taught music for 18 years in all kinds of institutions, both in Brazil as well as in the United States. From low income communities to music universities, I worked with all levels of students and I learned how to adapt my Pedagogy and method books to any situation. I work with students that have special needs (any and all kinds) and will also teach music professionals and artists that need a boost in confidence or some feedback in their projects. Read More
Instruments: Piano
My love for piano teaching began my senior year of high school, 7 years ago. I enjoy teaching out of my home studio, for I believe it provides a welcoming and encouraging atmosphere for my students. During lessons, I emphasize consistent weekly practice times, music genre variety, theory, improvisation and parent involvement in the lesson plans. Recitals have proven to be very helpful in building the students confidence and awareness of their personal and musical improvement. Read More

I teach from my home studio. I teach private lessons and give my students my full attention which has proved to be the key to my continually increasing student enrollment and high retention rate. Music has been an integral part of my life, playing a major role in both my personal and professional life. I embrace the chance to be immersed in it, to share my enthusiasm for and expertise in the area of music education, promoting creative development and student performance skills. Read More
Instruments: Piano
Hey! I'm Dee, your very own virtuoso of the ivories. I've been tinkering on pianos since before I could even talk, and I must say, it's quite the racket! But enough about my humble beginnings - let's focus on what really matters: the music, and the memories we create together. You see, playing the piano isn't just about pressing keys in a particular order; it's about telling stories, evoking emotions, and transporting you to another world, even if only for a moment.

Instruments: Clarinet
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I practice the clarinet 3-4 hours a day split between two sessions. Each session includes a warm up for my breathing, fingers, and tongue (e.g. long tones, voicing exercises, scales & patterns, articulation exercises), etudes, solo repertoire, and work on orchestral excerpts. A good practice session can be quite taxing, so I usually take a short 5min break every 30-60min to rest physically and mentally.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
It's tricky to choose just one! Even within "classical" music, I love to play music from the Classical era (e.g. Mozart), Romantic era (e.g. Brahms), Modern era (e.g. Berg and Bernstein), and today's contemporary classical music (e.g. Thomas Ades, I also love premiering new works from budding composers!
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 Bachelor of Music degree in Clarinet Performance from Indiana University and am currently pursuing my Master of Music degree in Clarinet Performance from California State University at Fullerton. I chose the degree initially because there was nothing I enjoyed more than classical music and playing the clarinet and no classical music I enjoyed more than orchestral music. My dream has been to play professionally in an orchestra, though as I've gotten older and experienced more in the world of classical music, I find that being a modern musician means having a much wider skillset and being open to all sorts of musical work - from performance and education to music administration and entrepreneurship. Degrees in Music Performance have allowed for me to refine my skills as a clarinetist and musician along with make professional connections and explore some of the other great opportunities and paths that exist for the modern musician.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
My middle school and high school students consistently place as first chair in their ensembles and attend All-District festivals. One of my students decided to pursue a music performance degree in college, and I was able to help her successfully prepare for her college auditions, which was an especially rewarding experience.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
While I am so proud to be an alumni of Indiana University, the musical accomplishment that I am most proud of has been performing a great first graduate recital. I've played in recitals before, but this one was especially challenging. In the year and a half leading up to this recital, I had been dealing with a debilitating right hand issue that made playing a simple F major scale an incredibly difficult task. It was the most physically, mentally, and emotionally challenging year I've ever faced as I doubted my future in music, yet I continued to work as hard as possible. While my first grad recital wasn't perfect and there still is a lot of room for improvement, I am very proud of how well it went after such a trying year (not to mention how challenging the repertoire was). I truly enjoyed performing the diverse, modern works I programmed and making the performance my own.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
My three biggest tips for a more effective and efficient practice session are: (1) Before starting, plan out what you'd like to work on/accomplish during the session, (2) Record yourself and listen back at least once a day, and (3) Take breaks... often times, rest can be more productive and helpful rather than tiring yourself with tons of unenergized, unfocused practice.
