I specialize in classical music, R&B, pop, and speech work centered around gender and identity. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Flute Recorder Piccolo Music
I believe that every performer not only has the responsibility to execute challenging repertoire for the benefit of the listeners but in the same way we as students were inspired and instructed then it is only right to give back and pour into others lives the way we have been instructed too and poured into. I graduated from Nyack College School of Music with my Bachelors in Flute Performance and a minor in Vocal Performance. Read More

Instruments: Piano
As Beethoven once said, "To play a wrong note is insignificant. To play without passion is inexcusable!" That is my approach to teaching, I do my best to instill a love and passion for music in each of my students. I will never force my students to do something they don't enjoy and I promise to make learning piano (even the technical aspects) a fun experience. Every student progresses at their own pace, which is why I encourage my students to set realistic goals they can reasonably attain. Read More

Performing all over the world has been one of the more exceptional experiences of my life as a musician, and I've had the opportunity to play in Japan, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the USA.

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I guess I was about 12 when I told my mother that I wanted to become a musician. I just found it interesring.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My father learned to play the accordion and harmonica by ear. My mother took some lessons on banjo. A grandmother, I was told by my mother, used to love listening to opera on the radio. Unfortunately, I never had much of a chance to get to know her. She died when I was ten.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I am partial to Classical but open to playing and listening to other genres. I think that classical affords the pianist the widest range of styles. Where else can you play music from Bach( 300 or so years ago) to Stockhausen, who recently died.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I took up the trumpet in elementary school in order to get into the band and orchestra. I kept at it through high school. In music school, as part of my conducting training, I had to spend a semester learning woodwinds( flute and clarinet), brass( trombone and French horn), strings( violin and cello), and percussion.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I have no idea. In high school, I finished my complete math courses in three years and had something like a 98 average in chemistry. In college, an English professor likened my writing to Hemingway. As I said before, I have no idea!
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My degree is in performance. My majors were composition,conducting and piano. Those weere the areas I was interested in studying.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I think I have played all of the pieces that would make up my dream list.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
As I answered above, I use a variety of books. I'll use whatever gets the job done.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
For me a "normal" practice is first a run through of scales and arpeggios, then a few Hanon or Pischna exercises, followed by what pieces I feel like paying that day.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
There are several. First the ability to achieve an even and smooth legato. There is no true legato on the piano. Each note is struck individually unlike other instruments. So the pianist must become a magician in that you create an illusion of smoothness for the listener. Then there is the process of making each finger equal in strength. The fourth,or ring, finger is the weakest and least independent. Therefore, it need the most work to gain the strength of the others.
