Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Flute Music Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
I have twelve years of post-graduate experience teaching individual music lessons to kids of all ages and adults as well. I have also taught music in Montessori school so am familiar with all different learning styles. I am also comfortable teaching kids with special needs, especially ASD. They tend to be very good at music lessons because of the focused attention I give them. I keep my teaching style conversational and fun, at a pace the student can handle. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Music Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I started teaching lessons when I was 18 at a music business and taught there between 3 to 5 hours a week for about 5 years. For the past 5 years I have been teaching at IU. I have taught many different styles from classical to jazz to rock, etc. and have also watched many great teachers and tried to learn from their methods. I am currently working on a book to teach the notes and fretboard of the guitar that will hopefully be able to help students of any age or experience. Read More

The art form of music is both a cerebral and deepy visceral experience. And thus so I invite students to journey outward and inward to begin (or continue) studying music from both a scholastic perspective as well as treating the art form as a purely aural experience. My teaching studio enables students to take home recordings of themselves so they have an audible track record of their progress. Every student learns differently, and is born with inherently different strengths, weaknesses, rhythms, and song. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Flute Organ
I first started music at a young age through my local church; my first instrument being flute. I studied flute for many years before taking formal voice lessons. This led me to become a voice performance major at the Manhattan School of Music, where I sang lead roles in and outside of the school. In addition, I continued my flute studies as well as strengthen my piano skills. I've had the opportunity to perform at the Kimmel Center as soloist and chorister, Symphonic Space (NYC), as well as abroad in Italy and France. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I want to instill a passion for music in my piano students. To do this, I let each student progress at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lession and acknowledging the small accomplishments. By finding out what inspires a student, I can tailor my instruction to keep them engaged and eager to learn. Read More

How to seat, how to raise hands, how the wrists can help forming a beautiful musical phrase, how to relax, how to improve techniques, how to play fast and clear. -Customized teaching method for each student which will help the students to exert their best potential music ability with their unique hands condition and musical acceptance ability.

Instruments: Piano
I believe the foundation of progress is consistency, so I try to establish routines with my students, spending part of each lesson on technical exercises, theory/aural skills training, and repertoire. I also set performance goals for students by organizing recitals *this has been more tricky during Covid, but I think it is important nonetheless to get students to perform from memory at least twice a year (once at the end of fall and spring terms).

When will I start to see results?
It is individual to each student, but I would like to confidently say that after three to four lessons you should start hearing results! It is all about singing in a healthy way, and perfection is unrealistic, so don't be disheartened if it doesn't sound exactly like you want it to sound right away.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
As someone who is really bad about practicing herself, the advice I have is to split it up into chunks. Pick certain skills to work on each day, don't just sing through the piece as soon as you get it. Start by listening to it a few times to get it in your head, then go over the diction and look up any words you don't know. Then, figure out the story of the song. What are you singing about? Then, start the singing process. If you split this up over a week of practice, it will be a lot more effective than just cramming it all into one practice session.
For piano practice, I strongly encourage putting in at least 30 minutes a day of practice. Piano can take a long time to learn, and it can be frustrating to mess up (believe me, I've been there). Practicing for at least half an hour a day will make a whole lot of difference, and make you more prepared for your lesson. It is a lot about muscle memory for piano.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I have taken piano and guitar as well, but voice is the instrument that I am the best at and most importantly, enjoy the most! I took piano for a long time, but just didn't have the passion for it that I have for voice, and I found it much more difficult, so that is why I chose voice! I have also self-taught myself guitar, but I use that mostly for songwriting! (Feel free to ask me about that during lessons as well!)
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My voice teacher back when I was between the ages of 10-18 inspired me to pursue music! She always believed in me and my abilities, and gave me a great foundation for entering college. She went to Indiana University, as well, so that is how I had even heard of the college in the first place.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
There isn't a yes or no answer to this question, but I would say once your child is at least 10 years old, and has shown some kind of passion for music/singing, then they are ready to start! A beginning student wouldn't need to have to start learning really complicated pieces or techniques, it is just baby steps at the beginning!
For piano, I think that any age is appropriate to start! I know some kids who have started as young as toddlers!
