Instruments: Piano Trumpet
I began teaching when I was 16 in my local town of Evanston, Illinois.I have continued to teach on and off in between touring and working with others for the last 14 yrs. I currently have a 2 year old son who is very interested in trumpet so I am beginning to show him the ropes and am well aware of the struggles of teaching younger children. I emphasize a regular regiment of practice every day of at least 20 minutes. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Synthesizer Recorder Euphonium French Horn Music Keyboard
Finding out what inspires the student helps me to construct my instruction to their needs. It is important to understand that each student has their own progression. I make sure to always set realistic goals for my students at each lesson and to acknowledge their accomplishments. This often encourages and excites the student to continue in their progression! I keep it light and I make sure that the student enjoys my lessons and look forward to the next one. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Accordion French Horn Music Keyboard
I find that metaphors using familiar things and processes, like the laws of nature and physics we see everyday, can help students grasp concepts that require marrying physical movements with mental flexibility. Perhaps we're discussing articulations and you're having trouble understanding stylistically how to approach and execute staccato with legato over it. We could turn to methods like the Breathing Gym to practice a physical manifestation of how that articulation should sound. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I like to enjoy myself, whether it's working or specifically NOT working. I am enthusiastic, positive, funny, caring, and dedicated to my craft and my students. I have a talent for adapting to different situations quickly and (usually) successfully. My experiences have been in all genres of music and on several different instruments. If you want to learn, I want to teach. We're a perfect match! Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Acoustic Guitar
I've been singing my entire life (I have home videos singing Andrea Boccelli in the bathtub) and singing has been in my family for many generations. I began playing guitar and writing songs since high school, so I have four years of experience playing and singing together, writing songs, and performing them. In high school I took a few lessons in a combo class for guitar and voice, but mostly learned from YouTube! Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Trumpet Recorder Fiddle
My goal is always to take students where they are: beginning, intermediate or advanced and help them discover and develop their own love of music. I do this through introducing music that develops their skill and gives them the satisfaction of playing music that they enjoy. It is not only about playing scales and such but learning to play musically so that people they may play for in the future will enjoy listening to them and they will enjoy sharing what they have learned.

Instruments: Piano Clarinet
I began teaching as early as 2003, while in high school on clarinet. I continued to teach during college as a voice coach, and have been teaching piano, music theory and music composition to this date. I have worked with both children and adults, in classrooms and one on one. One of the things that distinguishes me from other teachers is how I tailor my program for each student, because everyone learns differently and has different strengths and talents. Read More
Instruments: Bass Guitar Electric Guitar
When will I start to see results?
You should start to see results in no later than a month. I believe that if the student has an instrument and is serious about being a musician then the natural ambition they possess will drive them to be successful also. Motivation at home is also a key factor. A good diet and exercise is a great way to see results even in music! Sometimes the student may want to learn a favorite song on the instrument for cool points with themselves or for entertainment. This is s great way to see progress quickly since they already enjoy the tune. So likely they will learn it fast as possible!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes. My grandfather was my first inspiration. He was a guitarist and keyboard player. I would listen to him play all the time when I lived with him and my granny as a kid. When I was around 12 years old I knew that I wanted to be a guitarist. I heard Led Zeppelin and I was blown away! Then I heard Jimi Hendrix and I definitely knew I was going to be a professional musician. Around 11th grade my band teacher put me in the orchestra because I would always come to the band room during lunch and play the double bass
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
You will know if the student is a good student in other classes besides music and if they have discipline. Good conduct and moral standards are important also. Respect for others and themselves. If they can be confident in asking questions and not feel embarrassed about being wrong sometimes is a good indication in my opinion. If the child shows a natural talent for music and they constantly are creating sounds with their mouth or banging on things is a good indication also. If the the student likes to dance then that is s good indication also in my opinion.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
It is a very important part of musical growth. I always have stood by practice like you play. The more time the student spend with the instruments the better they will become. But I also believe that playing your instruments a lot does not necessarily make one a better musician. The student had to get out of the comfort zone and practice things that are challenging and sometimes opposite of what they may like musically. Practicing slow and methodically will greatly improve a students technique and tone while also making them more confident to learn the music.
