I encourage students to set goals and to maintain a practice and study plan that enables them to achieve those goals. Read More

From 5 to 8 years old, the lesson takes place in a playful way. Easy hand exercises, simple rhythmic patterns, pieces with polyphonic elements.

Additionally, I include exercises at the intermediate skill level for mastering improvisation, playing with elements of jazz, and playing by ear. We learn popular children's songs. Read More

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Flute Clarinet Double Bass
Over the past 10 years I have developed different methods of teaching musical concepts so that if the lessons don't make sense the first way I explain them I can teach it from a different angle. Not everyone can learn the same way so you have to be flexible with different teaching styles. I like to make sure the student learns not only what they need to know, but also what they want to know.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
It doesn't get any simpler than "Practice makes perfect!" The more you practice the better it will be!
Practicing for a hour or two everyday is very beneficial depending on age. From Breaking down each hand and each part, it can make a big difference.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Believe it or not, the child's discipline in practice and motivation will let you know if they are ready. if you force a child or intimidate them to play or practice they will not enjoy the craft of piano. They will not appreciate it. Of course trial lessons are to be in order to determine focus, concentration, excitement, and stamina.
When will I start to see results?
Results can be seen from a week to a month!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I didn't have a teacher to inspire me when it came to piano, however my dad was the one who motivated me to take an interest in learning the piano. I have no fancy story but a friend of his told him about a program and he thought it would be good for me to try it. I have been in love ever since! Clarinet is a different story. My fifth grade teacher inspired me to play and perfect the clarinet. I saw the school band and was very impressed. I wanted to be apart of that greatness. I picked out the clarinet itself! My fifth grade teacher was very supportive.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most prud of my recital awards for determination and improvement. I am the most proud of joining the music fraternity of Sigma Alpha Iota Inc.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I encourage and prefer to use the series by James Bastien. I also grew up learning my best craft from that series while growing up. I love how it's something for every type of student in that series.
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 degree in General Music with a concentration in Clarinet.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I was not a musician, I believe I would be in the medical field or in interior design.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Jazz,Gospel and soul.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
To be honest I had a favorite cartoon with a character who played the clarinet, and I watched the character continue to try to master it. That was my motivation. He made it fun and comical.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I have an uncle who used to play the trumpet. My father used to play trumpet and guitar. My Grandmother sings a little bit as well.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
It became a gradual decision right out of college being that I wanted to jump right in!
