Coming back to goal setting, each student will want something a little different out of it from the next. So I find it helpful to ask and figure out; if there's a specific song they wish to learn, what some of their favorite artists are so we may get a grasp what style they are into, or just want to learn about music in general so that one day they may be able to create their own original work.

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More

My philosophy in teaching is: "Everyone learns in a different way". I like to analyze and help the student to find the simplest and easiest way to approach a piece or music in general.

Singing and music has been part of my life since I can remember and I get so much joy helping people achieve their goals. I am a passionate and enthusiastic actress, singer, dancer, pianist, and teaching artist here in Chicago. I am a graduate of the Bachelor of Fine Arts Musical Theater program at the University of the Arts, where I realized my love of teaching while tutoring struggling music theory students. Read More

My experience with learning was fun. Since I was learning multiple instruments it was fun to tie everything together. I could say the best part while learning was understanding theory...that part of my learning opened up many doors for me musically. I started to understand why certain notes could and couldn't be played, why and how to use different scales. Those things are the same things I try to reveal to the students when the time is right.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
go over everything the teacher assigns, 3-4 times, daily. if that takes 10mins great! if it takes longer give the student less.
When learning a new element, initially, the brain is highly activated and performs synapses and usually can perform a3-4 more synapses. This is when learning and memory take place. When you go over it again in sequence, the brain is engaged, but if repeated too many times as in telling the student, "you must practice for .......minutes," the brain stops the synapses and the student may at that time be developing mistakes in the piece.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Typically, the student will express some type of interest in music. Oftentimes, the mother's intuition is correct.
The child will sing a lot, or if an instrument is available, they will play it often and at random times. Music in a public place may catch their attention. I've had a few students that the parents observed their child tapping their fingers.
Sometimes the child will exhibit traits that indicate a high intelligence yet communication skills are inadequate
They may draw a lot
They may exhibit bi-lateral difficulties, meaning the left-hand tries to perform right-hand commands
When will I start to see results?
All children learn differently, especially a child gifted in music. Some learn quickly and progress rapidly initially, some take much longer to learn and master new concepts and then apply that concept to another domain in the brain. A slower learning child does not mean that the child cannot get it. The teacher needs to be aware that the many many different aspects and elements of music are developed and established in many many different regions of the brain. each must be step-by-step developed and established. Then that information is transferred to the motor-sensory regions where everything is integrated.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had several uninspiring teachers and only one that inspired me to develop the depth of God-given talent in me. The un-inspiring teachers were critical and negative and we studied mediocre music. I have perfect pitch si i could read music but played everything "by ear". I was completely unaware that I was not reading the music score! I learned by listening and watching my teacher's hands. That was my first clue that one method of instruction fits all. It was my first step on learning about the brain and music.
