Nothing is more important than seeing my student's progress and development. I encourage persistance and self-discipline.

I generally like to start my beginning students with lesson plans from the book" The Secrets of playing Piano by Ear" by Jermaine Griggs. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. I try to focus on what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lesson fresh and FUN! Read More
Instruments: Piano
My teaching style reflects how important it is to embrace every moment with a student as though they are my only student; taing into account each personality and ability. I can usually connect with an individual , assessing where to begin. A huge compliment to me, is when a past student enrolls their child/grandchild in lessons because of their prior experience with me. I am gentle, but teach self discipline, and all necessary fundamentals for their progress. Read More

Teaching is a huge responsibilty that I do not take light heartedly. If we as teachers do a suburd job, it will have a huge effect on a students over all life. Musical education teaches us about the mind and body and balance between the two. It teaches us logic, problem solving, and creative thinking in balance with eachother. It teaches us posture, breath, how to think. It teaches us to listen, and to communicate, to engage with others, it teaches us work ethic and how to colloborate with anyone. Read More

I feel like I've been a musician my whole life, starting when I was about 8 or 9 years old and singing in my first Barbershop Quartet and later joining the Chorus. My voice has been my main instrument and I have had the pleasure and challenge of singing in choruses and lead roles in musicals and operas, as well as many solos in major choral works, like the Bach Mass and Mozart's Requiem as well as works by Benjamin Britten.

Instruments: Piano Music
My first lesson is a casual meeting with the student (child/parent, or adult). I want to both meet and start to develop a good relationship and understanding with all involved. With younger students I talk with the parent and show them what we are working on and the logic behind it. Of course, this strategy applies to adults as well. I watch the student's progress very carefully and acknowledge accomplishments because this creates enthusiasm and further development. Read More
Instruments: Clarinet
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of attending and performing in the Heritage festival.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My degree is in Music Performance. I chose this because my school did not offer music as a minor, and I have always been good at playing. As a music major I was required to take theory, musicology and composition. I am fairly good at music theory, and if any of my students need help in this area I am willing to help.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
When I graduated high school I stopped playing the clarinet for about a year. Towards the end of my freshman year I realized I missed playing and decided to pick up music again. By making that decision i became a professional musician.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream piece to play is a Benny Goodman piece. Throughout my years I have played jazz and enoy it. He was the greatest jazz clarinetist and I would like to experience that one time.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I think I would be doing fashion. I always had a interest in fashion design but, never pursued it.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
chamber music.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
The only other instrument I play is piano. I stated playing it when I was in High school because it was a requirement to graduate.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes. I am the youngest of 3 and both my older siblings played instruments. One played the flute and the other one played clarinet. My father also used to have his own music show.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session usually begins with scales and small etudes. I then proceed to the piece I am working on, and drill the desired sections. This can take up to 2 hpurs but I never exceed that because I don't want to over practice.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I think the hardest thing to master is the range because the clarinet is one of the few instruments that have almost 4 octaves. The alternate fingerings can also be hard to master.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Mr. Parisi. He was my music teacher in middle school but he pushed me to audition for Eastman. Because of him I attended Eastman School of music through the pathways program, and received private lessons. He also encourage me to do Nyssma festival.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
When I first decided to go into music I wanted to play drums. My parents disapproved because of the noise. I then tried to play the saxophone but, my school was out of saxophones. I then picked the clarinet and stayed with it ever since.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Its best to start learning a piece in sections
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If they are more advanced or show deeper interest in their instrument.
When will I start to see results?
Within a few lessons but it also depends on the player and their leaning ability.
