Instruments: Piano Voice
I have been teaching private music lessons for 2 and a half years to students from ages 4 to 50. I've had over 15 years of performance experience, in various settings in both in piano and voice, that I apply to each of my lessons. Read More
Instruments: Piano Organ Music Keyboard
I truly enjoy teaching and live to see how well my students progress .my teaching style has to adapt for each student . I cant teach a 5 year old in the same manner as I teach a 79 year old student and I have both. A good teacher also needs to understand the wants and needs of each student thus the teaching method and books may change for each student especially if theres more than one person in the family learning to play .

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I have 7 years teaching both in a private studio setting and in group/ensemble setting. I teach piano, saxophone, flute, and clarinet, to all levels and ages. I have experience teaching and playing in marching bands, orchestras, salsa bands, jazz bands, and wind ensembles, to contemporary Christian/worship bands. I have played in several musicals. I front my own contemporary Christian Band, and we just released our first album in April, 2013. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Flute Bass Guitar Music Keyboard
It is important for me that the student is motivated and enjoys the lesson since they have to keep loving playing and practicing at home everyday to be able to progress properly. Learning music as learning anything is about exploration and repetition. Once you understand something you have to be able to do it correctly a few times before moving on. This can only be achieved if there is a certain amount of practicing involved. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums
My teaching experience dates back to when I was a student at the Los Angeles High School for the Arts. While pursuing my own education I also had five private drum students ranging from the ages of 7-15. I am fortunate enough to have learned a great deal about teaching all different ages from my father, who has been a private guitar teacher for over 35 years. During my time at Berklee College of Music, I taught group clinics and while our tour with the Karen Lovely Band I mentored mentally handicapped music students in the Netherlands with a group called United By Music.

Instruments: Piano Drums Latin Percussion
I love to teach cause I loved the teachers I had. What they played, what they taught me and what they said. And that's my approach. Music is not just notes. Music is an experience, a fun one. Technique, styles, reading, rudiments, playing with the click, tempo exercises, coordination,...All ages and specific inquires are welcome! My goal is you to have good times playing! Both piano and drums students I offer the possibility of playing along with the student to make it a lot of fun and richer! Read More
Instruments: Violin Viola Recorder Fiddle
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose my primary instrument because my parents both were violin and viola players. My father was principal violist of the Chicago Symphony, and my mother was a music educator (specialized in orchestra teaching at elementary and middle schools).
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of having the opportunity to perform the violin solo of Ein Heldenleben by Richard Strauss with the Midwest Young Artists Symphony Orchestra when I was in high school. This performance can be found on Youtube. I am also proud of performing the second viola part of Bach's Brandenburg Number 6 alongside my college viola professor at a University of Michigan faculty recital. I also am grateful for all of the solo opportunities I received by performing with the Chicago Chamber Orchestra. My recorder solo highlights include performing with Music of the Baroque and giving the US premiere of Sir Malcolm Arnold's Recorder Concerto.
When will I start to see results?
It depends on what you refer to as results. After one lesson with me, you will see a little bit of progress, but it will most likely take many lessons over several years to play and perform at a higher level. The more often you take lessons and devote some time to reinforce concepts discussed on your own time, the faster you will see improvement on your instrument.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My parents were both musicians, and they started me on violin when I was five. However, I was not really inspired to pursue music as a career until I got to college. My college professor was extremely good at explaining technical concepts, and I still incorporate his principles to this day when I teach. Since my dad was principal violist of the Chicago Symphony for several years, I was inspired to continue music after hearing the orchestra perform on a regular basis.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
You will know if your child is ready to start lessons if they tell you that they are really interested in learning the instrument and learning music. If they really do not express interest, I would recommend waiting until they decide for themself that they want to put in the time and effort to learn.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I encourage my students to actively listen and take notes in their lessons so that they know exactly what to practice and how to practice it. If they need me to write down a detailed list of what skill they worked on and how to practice it, I am happy to do so in a notebook, and I will give them the notes after their lesson is over. I can also write some notes in their music if necessary.
