Instruments: Piano
I am passionate about teaching the piano, an instrument that I love. I connect well with students and adapt my teaching style to their learning preference. I have been playing the piano for over 30 years. I also play the keyboard. I am able to teach both piano and keyboard; learning the piano and the keyboard is essentially the same, it just requires a different touch and the keyboard can create more sounds. Read More

Instruments: Piano
My teaching dates back to my high school days, as I began teaching private lessons in my students' homes. I learned as I went along the different ways to engage different types of students, and I loved seeing the growth from week to week. I've found that my students took a lot of pride in learning to play a song they thought was too difficult for them, or in overcoming a specific hurdle. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet Harp
I have been a private lessons instructor since 2006. The instruments I have taught include: piano, harp, saxophone, and clarinet with an emphasis on classical music. I have also worked as an elementary general music teacher since 2014. Our curriculum includes developing knowledge and skills in performance (vocal/ instrumental), literacy, history, composition, appreciation and evaluation. In addition to my teaching experience, I also have many years worth of performance experience in both classical and jazz settings, which has greatly helped me in being able to provide instruction and direction to students seeking to pursue music performance as a career.

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Music Keyboard
To me, the key element for a successful learning experience is to engage the student in the lesson and during their individual practice. I have battled with ADHD my whole life and I distinctly remember daydreaming during many of my classes in college, retaining little-to-no information. It is very difficult to engage with a topic as complex as music, but it is crucial to absorb every second. My main priority during a lesson is engaging to student in the session material, typically fun and exciting ways. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I do not use specific methods or books that I use. My teaching style and the music selected for each student is purely based on the needs and goals of the student. My goal is to always challenge the student while allowing them to feel a sense of accomplishment.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Typically, I prefer to teach students who are in their teens because their voice has started to mature. I am comfortable teaching students as young as 10, where basic musicianship and music fundamentals are introduced..
When will I start to see results?
This varies among students and their stage of development. Most students will not see results immediately. It takes time to train the voice. However, with smart and consistent practice, growth can be seen within the first weeks of lessons.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My high school choir teacher inspired me to pursue music. She was always encouraging and support my goals in every way possible. I hope to be like her as a teacher and make an impact on my students' lives.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream performance would be a concert of Britten's Canticles. I believe they are each powerful works of art that brilliantly display the story each tells.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
All of my degrees are in performance. I simply love to perform. Whether I'm singing in an ensemble of 40 or giving a solo performance being on stage is one of my passions. Performing music allows me to express emotions or share a message with a greater population.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I began singing in my high school choir, but I did not take my first voice lesson until I began my undergraduate studies.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
In order to practice efficiently, one should practice every day. Practices should begin with both a full body and vocal warm up, which includes stretches, breathing exercises, and other vocalises to prepare the body to sing. When practicing a technique or learning new music, "slow and steady wins the race!" This will ensure than good habits are being built into the instrument and the techniques and music are accurately learned.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Coordination of all of the moving parts is the hardest part to master. The voice is a complex instrument, and when a new technique is introduced, another may suffer. Learning how to balance each aspect is a challenge, yet very rewarding.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would probably be a travel agent. I love to see the world and experience new cultures! I try to travel when there is free time in my schedule.
