Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Recorder Music Keyboard
After graduating from college, I began teaching privately in my home state of Texas at the middle and high school levels in New Braunfels and Austin. Soon, I began teaching adults as well and when I moved to Washington D.C. in fall of 2006, I became the Music Instructor at The Art and Drama Therapy Institute, a center for adults with developmental disabilities. This experience had a great impact on me in terms of understanding the big picture in that the goals and methods relating to the technical aspects of music lessons, but the grand value that music offers in terms of the emotional and spiritual rewards as well.

I like to branch out students knowledge of musical genres and get them listening to new stuff. Typically though, I begin lessons with encouraging the student to work on a song they love and enjoy that inspires them to sing/play! I also have repertoire to suggest for different voice types and skill levels. I never want students to feel discouraged or give up, so I make sure feedback is constructive. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I began teaching private lessons four years ago in various genres such as jazz, pop, musical theater, and classical - with a bit of music theory for those who have expressed interest. Students of mine have participated in recitals and have written their own compositions. On top of private lessons, I was a Choral Music Instructor for the Massachusetts city, Chelsea, and its Community Youth Chorus. I also taught a voice class for the city of Chelsea that explored, group singing, music theory, breathing, posture, and vocal health. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute Recorder Piccolo
My approach to teaching anyone music is to present it as a unique language, one that anyone in the world can use to communicate with anyone. Therefore, my initial emphasis for each student is to help them master the flute in terms of technique and tone so that they can then concentrate on the style of music that they love. Lesson plans are very detailed and great emphasis is placed on problem solving and working out ways to improve while the student still juggles a busy schedule. Read More

No matter what the ability level and age, I try to find out what music the student is interested in. I do not teach from prefabricated books but rather teach songs to students and within those songs there are lessons. I have devised my own teaching methods which have been highly successful. For younger students, teaching traditionally can be extremely tedious and they can lose interest fast. I teach songs to my students and I find lessons within the songs. Read More

My recent professional theater credits include: GYPSY (Louise) at The Covedale Center for the Arts (Nomination from The League of Cincinnati Theater for BEST ACTRESS), Title Role in MARY POPPINS at The Renaissance Theater, BRIGADOON (u/s Fiona) and THE DROWSY CHAPERONE at The Wick Theater, and Ensemble roles in SOME PEOPLE HEAR THUNDER (The Capital Repertory Theater) and MAMMA MIA (Theatre Aspen). In New York City, I was recently seen at The New York Theatre Festival in LET THERE BE LIGHT as a principal role and The New York Musical Festival as a featured vocalist. Read More

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Its hard to say between piano and guitar; I started about the same time, but I would have to choose the piano. I would take it because of the balanced layout of the keyboard, the large dynamic range, and the beautiful cabinet. With the lid open you can receive the full power of the instrument. And now we see three pedals with three functions: soft pedal, sostenuto pedal. sustain pedal. The pedals are the soul of the piano. The piano, along with its massive library, has a marked presence in popular music. it will not change.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Youngest member in the playing of Rutgers University orchestra.
A competition from vocal parts for a score which was then performed at Mason Gross School of the Arts.
My biggest theater accomplishment with the composition "A funny thing happened on the way to the forum" which was performed in a large auditorium with myself as conductor that day. In another concert series I conducted a chamber version for people because some of the orchestra had prior engagements.
After this period, I started to play guitar again and was teaching at C.E.I.G. both guitar and piano, both tasks (Electric and Acoustic).
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Brett Washington: a tenor entered a "Barber Shop Quartet" competition , won best vocalist east region.
Daphne Rustowich: was named head of the "Delbarton Band", and performed in the best mod-baroque-style.
James Frankenberg: Leader of "Rutgers Jazz Ensemble". reconstructed the school as the new Jazz center.
I appreciate the three leaders in their field lending your name to this music school.
I sure they will bring their own students to work with and maybe use our materials as a starting point.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Piano:
Keep it in tune.
Even distribution of the legs and hands so that one is balanced.
Use of the three pedals to create special effects.
Rapid tremolo on single notes followed by ascending scales.
Hand-over-hand to get rapid linear patterns.
Play from memory.
Guitar:
Keep it in tune.
Uur left hand thumb in proper position behind the neck.
as the right hand will tap notes on the fretboard to get overtones ringing out (switch hands if left handed.)
Play arpeggios both up and down the next.
Play from memory.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
No, I never used those courses, I feel they were too (Alfred, etc.) simple even for beginning students..
I use Sibelius to generate graded course material for young children, and then increase the sections as I wrote more into the machine., My library was growing and I was able to publicly show my methods at lessons and concerts. I recently decided that I would make own course workbook. And I then use that to start the cycle again with new students as they hopefully compose their own.
