Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I have over 10 years of teaching experience with the last 7 years being full time. I started playing piano when I was 5 so I have over 22 years of playing experience. The number one thing I stress about learning to play the piano (except practice of course!) is that you need to be having fun at all times. Music is supposed to be fun so it’s my job to make sure my students are enjoying each lesson and each time they sit down at their piano. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Euphonium Tuba Music Keyboard
I am a driven and holistic instructor that finds meaning, passion, and understanding from sharing music with others. I graduated from Northern Illinois University, in 2021 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Trombone Performance. During my time at NIU, I studied with Jeremy Moeller, principal trombone of the Lyric Opera of Chicago. As a former member of the Cavalier's Drum and Bugle Corp, I have traveled around the country performing for various crowds with some of the best young brass players in the country. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Cello Viola Drums Bass Guitar
My main goal is to give each student the tools to be successful on their own. This is important because most progress is made outside of the lesson. This includes music reading and general knowledge of the music. I feel that success comes from the student feeling that THEY have accomplished something. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute
I have used many methods books for piano and flute. When I started teaching lessons, I lived in a military town. Since these students moved a lot, I would continue teaching out of the books they were currently using to keep they're progress consistent. I still have this philosophy unless a student is unhappy with their current method. When I start a beginning student, I like to use Alfred's Premier Course. Read More

Instruments: Piano
I have been teaching piano lessons to beginner students to adult students in my home for 12 years. Most of my students have been children ages six to thirteen; however, I have also taught adult students as well. I am also willing to travel to the student's home with in my area of Rolling Meadows, Schaumburg, Palatine, and Arlington Heights. Combining the songs in the lesson book with popular songs, along with scales helps the student to have more fun learning to play the piano. Read More

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My first pride-worthy accomplishment was playing the third movement (Allegro) from the Haydn Trumpet Concerto with the school orchestra when I was a sophomore at LaGuardia High School for Performing Arts in New York City at age 15. My second major achievement was performing the first movement to Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik on double bass with a small string ensemble at a music camp in upstate New York when I was 16. For this I had to learn how to use a bow in only six weeks. As a drummer, my accomplishments are many. At 17 I was touring the with a jazz quartet and after many years of playing with a variety of contemporary bands that performed throughout New York, New Jersey and New England, I became a primary studio drummer in Boston with doubles on flute, trumpet and Flugelhorn. As a vocalist, I toured with Bobby McFerrin in a group called "Vocal Summit" with international appearances at major jazz festivals throughout Europe. I'm also proud of the five books I've written and published on vocal improvisation pedagogy.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I taught several students who have done very well as professional singers. Paula Cole began studying with me when she was 16. After graduating Berklee, Paula went on to sing backup for Peter Gabriel before becoming a solo entity. In 1998 she won a Grammy Award for the song "I Don't Want to Wait," which became the theme for the TV show, "Dawson's Creek." Chiara Izzi, a student from Italy, was awarded first prize at the Montreux Jazz Festival Vocal Competition in 2011. Luciana Souza studied with me at Berklee College and won a Grammy Award in 2007 as a featured vocalist on a Herbie Hancock album entitled "River: The Joni Letters." Lalah Hathaway (daughter of Donny Hathaway) once sat in my improvisation class at Berklee and told me she couldn't improvise. After working with me for several years, Lalah eventually won the Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance with Snarky Puppy for "Something" in 2014. In 2015 she won the Grammy Award for Best Traditional R&B Performance for "Jesus Children." She again won the Grammy Award for Best Traditional R&B Performance for the cover version of her father's 1972 hit "Little Ghetto Boy" in 2016. Lalah is now considered one of the best vocalists in jazz and contemporary music.
