Viola, Cello, Bass Ensemble InstructorJun 2014 - Jul 2014 Pennsbury School District Summer Camp This summer camp met for the month of July, and the students attended Monday-Thursday.

I was also responsible for teaching private cello and bass lessons each week. We focused on building technique and musicality. Read More
Instruments: Piano Organ Synthesizer Accordion
My goal is to get people up and running as quickly as possible, playing music they want to play. Practice is needed and my hope always is to get students to want to practice, not because they have to practice. I always use the term "rehearse", as we musicians don't like to practice but we are alway's rehearsing. If I can inspire a student, then their goal of being successful is very attainable. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Bass Guitar Ukulele Double Bass
For beginning folk/pop guitar students I use the Hal Leonard Guitar Method. For Classical guitar I use a combination of various resources, including Segovia scales, Sor studies, Guilianni right-hand studies and Frederick Noad method books. I definitely encourage students to work towards performance of the music they are working on, and try to schedule recital/performance opportunities as students deveope and gain mastery over their material. I always try to maintain a healthy balance between keeping the student working on music that challenges them,and advances their technique, with the need to have fun and enjoy the playing of a musical instrument as a means of entertainment and relaxation.

For beginner guitar students I use Mel Bays You Can Teach Yourself guitar . I emphasize chords and technique and playing melodies. For piano students I teach students first to listen and immitate and then read. Once they master some basics in reading music I introduce chords. My vocal students start each lesson with warmups and apply the techniques to the songs that they are learning. I believe in making lessons fun and enjoyable but at the same time emphasize the importance of daily practice. Read More

I meet the student's needs and structure the curriculum accordingly. I have books and resources, as well as recommended YouTube videos to to prepare for lessons. I'm a proponent of Positive Feedback and have training in Responsive Classroom. Musicians are diverse learners, and it is essential to identify a student's learning style, best method of organization, and personal joy for music. Here are a few of my favorite Voice Pedagogy Books; Read More
Instruments: Piano
For all students (beginners and students with prior experience) I begin with teaching scales and arpeggios. Scales and arpeggios are the foundation of keyboard technique, and are found in all piano repertoire the student will encounter. I generally use the Macfarren Scale and Arpeggio Manual for older children/adults (those who read music) or the Scales, Chords, Arpeggios, and Cadences: First Book (Alfred) for children. If my student cannot read music I teach them scales and arpeggios without music, while teaching them how to read music from a method book. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice every day, even when you don't want to! The phrase "practice makes perfect" is true- the more you practice, the more skilled you'll become! It is important to practice a little every day. Studies show that if you practice a little each day, you'll be more skilled than if you were to practice everything in one day. This helps remember a little at a time. So don't wait until the last minute- practice for at least 10 minutes a day, and you'll be a pro in no time! I am happy to give you practice tips so you can meet all of your goals!
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My favorite piece to perform was definitely "Habanera" from the opera, Carmen. Carmen is sassy and confident and embodies all a sassy opera star wishes to be! I got to use my entire vocal range and hone in on my acting skills. It was the first piece I performed in Master Class in college, and I was so shy to get up on stage. After performing, I felt so much more confident and was able to perform any piece because I had gotten over the hump! This piece will always be special to me and will hold an important place in my heart!
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I chose my degree, Bachelor of Arts in Music, because it was the most versatile. My school only had a degree in classical voice, and I wanted to study a wide range of styles. I did not desire to be an opera singer, and I did not want my focus to only be on classical voice. I learned piano and guitar and practiced all styles of music- including classical, opera, musical theatre, pop, jazz, and rock. This made me more knowledgeable of different types of music, and it made me realize that the same fundamentals of vocal technique apply to each style of singing!
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I am incredibly proud of my student, Yana. She has won multiple awards in voice for multiple categories! She entered the American Protege competition and won first place in classical voice with the song "Nel Cor Piu Non Mi Sento". Additionally, she competed in many different categories- including self-accompaniment, pop, and musical theatre. I teach a wide variety of styles of voice and will teach you how to accompany yourself on piano and guitar, so you can go out there and start winning awards and competitions, too!
