Instruments: Piano Guitar
I've been a passionate musician all my life. Ever since my Nana bought me a mini electric piano when I was 3 ears old, it's been a staple of my life ever since. I studied guitar and piano all through out grade school and high school and continued my music education into college. I studied production, jazz, and theory at JJC of Illinois before transferring to DePaul University. I moved to L.A to perform and have been here for the past year teaching music at the West Coast Music Academy of Santa Clarita. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums
I am a people person. During my time as a Finance professional I worked with many different types of people and it was my job to help them learn and understand and how certain " market " forces work as it pertains to their life and their goals. I look at teaching music in the same way. Everyone has their own idea of what they want to do with music and where they want to go. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
I try to relate the student's study of their instrument to their school work and what music they might be studying in school or encountering in their daily lives. With adults it is important to discover what other music lessons they have had and what their experiences with music have been. During lessons I give much attention to detail and attempt to balance discipline with the student's enjoyment of the experience. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
After graduating from school, I focused on teaching children how to read sheet music and play the piano and guitar within parochial schools, public elementary schools, private in-home lessons, and instructed adults for the Continuing Education Music Programs located within Rockland County, New York and Orange County, California.Today, I teach privately in my students homes and my home music studio, and privileged to share music with special education students on a weekly basis.

Instruments: Piano
I use a variety of methods and tries to match the method to the personality of the student. Some of my favorite beginning methods are Faber & Faber, the Music Tree and Bastien. I try to get the student into actual repertoire as quickly as possible and like to use familiar folk tunes as a gateway to more traditional classical music. I try to assess what type of music the student listens to and find pieces that they enjoy and will be motivated to practice. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I quiz them by asking them to identify the note that I am playing. It takes only a minute. When each one is secure, I add more on, and I do this over the course of several weeks. The G and A, in between the three black keys. Then the D, in between the two black keys. Finally, the E and B, to the right of the group of two and three black keys respectively. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Ukulele Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
Very flexible, friendly, understanding and supportive teacher. I encourage my students to play duets with me and their friends (if applicable) and participate in recitals.I also try to teach them basic music theory unless they object, and help them to understand music, learn more about the history of music, and related matters. Some of my students take Royal Conservatory of Music tests regularly. I try to accommodate my students' interests and needs and always open to new things -say if they want to learn guitar accompaniment toa song they want to sing or solo/ accompaniment for a band.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
As a child I often excelled academically and socially, but found a tremendous amount of jealousy and comparison both within and without. I found it difficult to identify my unique artistic voice, and often sublimated myself more than was necessary. As I stepped into adolescence I discovered that my unique gifts and showmanship had a place in the arts, specifically for singing and acting, and I readily found my tribe in that nurturing environment.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
It is my delight to have a Masters in Music that has been put to excellent use in my college, professorial career. Prior to that time I participated in the Broadway National Tour of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and worked as a professional voice over artist for MTV, EECI, Achieve the Core, Playstation and more!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
They'll tell you! If your child is singing around the house at the top of their lungs, or using utensils to bang on the table, it might be time to sign them up for lessons! Music has been found to increase discipline, comprehension and academic scores. If your child is longing for more community, greater confidence and self-acceptance, the arts are a wonderful resource to utilize!
When will I start to see results?
This is the wrong question :) The most important shift in your child's life will most likely be internal, and relatively quiet. The moment of success is not the moment most apparent to the crowd. When your child is smiling, enjoying themselves and in acceptance of the full range of their emotions, the arts can be a valuable resource for bolstering their self-identity and fulfillment. Awards are important. Tests are important. Performance is important. But humanity and self-worth far outstrip any external result that is quantifiable.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Many, many teachers that have inspired me over the years. Bob Richard, from the National Tour of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" continues to be an amazing choreographer and director. Professor Al Clifft of Azusa Pacific University was a tremendous asset in my academic growth. And the unique relationships of family, friends and creative colleagues have added to my own unique creative diversity.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
For young children practice time can be easily included with other academic pursuits, otherwise it will mostly likely not happen. I also like to motivate younger kids with stickers, awards and candy, when applicable. External and internal rewards are a huge component of long term growth. I also offer steady performance opportunities for increased motivation...
