Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Euphonium Oboe Bassoon
I've been teaching in the greater Los Angeles area for almost 20 years, teaching students from ages 4 - 92 (yes, really! 92!). Levels range from beginning to professional, with advanced students having won scholarships and awards. I encourage all of my students to learn the language of music; to learn about their instrument and the best means of expression using that instrument. For the past 8 years, lessons have been supplemented with an annual holiday recital where students have the opportunity to perform, which is an important part of the learning process! Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music
I began teaching voice in 1998, in Vienna, Austria. The following year, I was asked to teach at the Vocal Jazz Department of Gustav Mahler Conservatory where I taught for 5 years. During that time, my private teaching studio also grew, where I coached singers, songwriters and pianists. In 2004, I moved to Los Angeles, taught piano at a private music school, accompanied a Eurythmy class at The Waldorf School in Pasadena, and eventually built my own business as a piano teacher.

Instruments: Piano Drums
Currently, I'm helping a local church playing piano and drums (when they're short a drummer), and I'm the lead singer for a band called Just A Theory. Having been a part of this band has been really cool because we've used this group as a platform to help the homeless, by having our fans bring food and clothing to our shows. It's been very nice to see people willing to do what they can to help those who are in need. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums Orchestral Percussion Conga
For young students who have never played before they are introduced to a fun and easy book called Hal Leonard's Drum Set Method. After a quick assessment I apply some adjustments to there playing and quickly assign some fun homework. Simply and effective for their style of playing. For adults, I asked them to play for me a few bars and drum patterns. I check their ability to read, improvise and how strong their "pocket "is. (i.e. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I'm very passionate about being honest and straightforward with my students. I'm very prone to telling my students not just what I do but why I do it, as I believe it's important to develop holistic thinking. I also think it's important to get students curious about as much related to the art form as possible. So, I include extra information about history, theory, other aspects of the canon, etc. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar
From my own experience learning music, my greatest motivation has been the fun of discovering something new. I motivate my students with the same ideology. I build my student's curriculum based on music that they have a love and passion for, music that they will be excited to learn. I also teach students practice techniques that will bolster the students growth with efficiency and fun. I help students to track gradual growth in their practice by honing their routines into healthy learning habits. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice is often seen as a tedious endeavor, but I have always found practice to be a joy! As a teacher I assign repertoire that both challenges and interests my students, so while they are learning, they are also singing or playing repertoire that they are happy to be working on. As they progress and grow more skillful, the repertoire becomes more complex so that there is always a level of challenge to ensure that they are both enjoying themselves and learning in the process!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Any curiosity or interest is enough to work with! The lessons adapt and evolve with the child, and as she or he matures, the lessons will do so as well! I have taught students as young as 4 years old, and although their attention span is shorter, their ability to retain important musical knowledge is fascinating! They can learn full songs by heart, memorize the piano using helpful songs, and remember musical terminology that will really give them a leg-up advantage as they progress through music lessons!
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a Bachelors of Music in Commercial Vocal Performance. This a rare degree to find because most school only offer Vocal Performance Degrees in Classical or Jazz, and while I did begin my studies in Jazz (which I do love very much), I felt that something was missing and I wanted my education to be rooted in the present, not the past. That was why I joined the music program at CalState Los Angeles, because there the curriculum allowed room to full express my voice and my abilities as a singer-songwriter. I am very glad I chose this path, because it really helped me hone not only my voice but my ability to write and perform music for live audiences.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I decided rather early on, at about 15 years old, the music was really what I wanted to do. As my abilities progressed, I found that people were really moved by my singing and my songwriting, and there was a sense of responsibility to continue my musical education to fulfill some abstract goal of making music in the future as a career. That goal has become much clearer as an adult and I am so happy that I chose this path of sharing my music and my abilities with audiences and students alike.
