Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Bass Guitar Double Bass
Music has always been my full-time profession. At the age of 13 I started playing bass in local bands professionally. After high school, I embarked on a collegiate musical journey, which led me to stays at Columbia College in Chicago, Bowling Green State University (where I received a full tuition scholarship) and Wayne State University. During that time, I have always kept up a busy lesson studio and performance schedule. During the last 8 years I have performed over 150 times per year, all over the country. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I use the Faber method for my beginner students. Sometimes with students who are 4 or 5 years I use the pre-beginners books from Alfred. Other times I use the Suzuki method, depending on the level of understanding. Alongside those books, I use technique books to build good, strong hand especially for young kids. As we move along I start giving solo repertoire from different eras of music to introduce the student to different kinds of music from different composers. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I have been teaching since 1998. I love making music fun for my students, while requiring students to learn fundamentals such as music theory and vocal health. Teaching has been part of my life for over 17 years and I hope to continue for at least that many more. I believe music is for everybody and that each individual can improve and learn if they care and make an honest effort. I also teach to the student's focus as the time: if preparing an audition we focus on that. Read More

I do tailor my music lessons for the individual student. There really is no making a general statement for a specific person. There are, however, some very fundamental aspects of learning music for all people which will definitely include practicing and mastering scales of all type, performing with others, and using the ears to truly listen to intervals and the emotions that are invoked by performing certain keys in specific styles.

Instruments: Piano
I listen to the student's music selections. While he/she plays, I observe him/her how this student is adapting to the instrument. After his/her performance, I offer constructive criticism pointing out steps to adapt himself/herself to the instrument. I also encourage and push for attentive listening for tone quality. This is very important no matter the level of students. The way to listen for tone quality is not only seating straight and at the center of the keyboard, but also understand when and how to use the bony part of the fingers(closer to nails) versus the fleshy part of fingers on the opposite side of nails.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums
I find the Hal Leonard Series works as a tool for helping students understand musical concepts right away. For students who are more advanced I will plan their lessons based on what their goals are. Every student is different: Some want to compete in recitals, some want to play for their friends and family when they come over, some want to compose their own musical pieces, some people just wanna jam!

Instruments: Violin Viola
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 Bachelor of Music in Viola Performance and a Master of Music in Viola Performance degree. I chose to pursue these degrees in performance because I have a deep passion for playing the viola and a strong desire to share my knowledge and expertise with aspiring musicians like your child.
During my undergraduate studies, I focused on honing my technical skills and developing a solid foundation in music theory and history. This allowed me to become a proficient violist and gave me the necessary tools to excel as a performer. I also had the opportunity to work closely with renowned professors and mentors who further inspired and guided me in my musical journey.
For my Master's degree, I wanted to continue refining my performance abilities and delve deeper into the art of viola playing. This degree provided me with more advanced training, access to a wider range of repertoire, and the chance to collaborate with talented musicians, all of which helped me reach a higher level of proficiency and artistry in my playing.
Ultimately, my choice to pursue degrees in Viola Performance was driven by my love for the instrument and my desire to pass on my knowledge and passion to the next generation of musicians. I believe that a strong foundation in performance is essential for anyone wishing to excel in the world of music, and I am dedicated to helping your child develop their skills and reach their full potential as a violinist or violist.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Well, it's wonderful that you're interested in my dream piece to perform on the violin or viola. There are so many incredible compositions out there, but if I had to choose just one, it would be the Sibelius Violin Concerto for the violin and the Walton Viola Concerto for the viola.
The Sibelius Violin Concerto is a true masterpiece that captures the essence of the Northern landscapes and evokes a deep emotional connection. Its soaring melodies and dramatic passages make it a thrilling piece to perform. What I love most about it is its ability to convey a wide range of emotions, from haunting melancholy to triumphant exuberance. As a musician, I would relish the opportunity to immerse myself in this concerto and convey its powerful storytelling through my playing.
On the viola, the Walton Viola Concerto is a true gem. This concerto is known for its lyrical beauty and the intimate connection it forges between the performer and the audience. It's a piece that requires not only technical mastery but also a deep understanding of its emotional nuances. The way it explores different moods and textures is truly captivating. Performing the Walton Viola Concerto would be a dream come true because of its unique ability to touch the hearts of those listening.
Both of these concertos are like musical journeys, and I believe that as a performer, they would allow me to express myself fully, bringing out the rich colors and emotions of the violin and viola. They are also a testament to the incredible depth and diversity of the repertoire available for these instruments, and I would be honored to share their beauty and complexity with audiences. Ultimately, it's the opportunity to connect with the audience through these powerful works that makes them my dream pieces to perform.
