Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Recorder Euphonium
With all of my students I am kind, patient, gentle, humorous, encouraging, and positive with my feedback. Students regularly give feedback on the music they are making, as well as any new ways they think I might be helpful to them. I use Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligence Theory to help inform me of the students learning style. My goal is to nurture each students musical process. I support whatever pace students choose to employ, and tailor my instruction to their needs and wants. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I am a pianist and educator originally from Virginia Beach, Virginia! I love to perform, but I am also passionate about educating the next generation of musicians. I studied music very seriously as a child, which led to many performance opportunities in the area and around the world! I have played concerti with several fantastic orchestras, and I greatly enjoy playing chamber music. My most recent job took me around the world performing with a piano quintet. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Ukulele Music Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
I have been playing piano, guitar and singing since I was 7 years old. I have been teaching music, including music theory and improvisation, for over 20 years. I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Music from S.U.N.Y. Cortland and a Master of Science Degree in Instructional Technology from New York Institute of Technology. Music is my profession and my passion. I have experience in a wide variety of musical styles and I design my lessons based on my students' interests. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I am a firm believer in having each student learn basic scales, starting with five finger patterns for beginners, since a solid grasp on this technique will aid them in learning any piece. For beginning younger students, I start teaching them from a method book that best suits their learning style. Since each student is different, one method does not fit every student, and I have taught Alfred's Premier Performer, Mayron Cole Piano Method, Hal Leonard, and more. Read More
Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
I create a lot of my teaching material my self, and I developed at Indiana University a reading method that emphasizes the similarities between the clefs and allows the student to have a global view of the staff. My lessons are very energetic and fast paced, I normally prefer if parents are present in lesson taking notes, and when possible, I even teach the parents before I teach the students, so we have a consistent learning environment at home as well.

Instruments: Piano
My teaching experience began at age eighteen, when I started teaching private lessons part time until I figured out what I wanted to do with my life. I've taught at piano retail establishments, in home and currently I'm teaching in my own studio. I'm a recording artist, singer and composer. I've performed at weddings, graduations, multiple dinner dates and church functions. I was the Minister of Music at Sixth Street Baptist Church from 2016-2018. Read More
Instruments: Piano
The bulk of my teaching experience comes from my college days where I taught secondary piano lessons to college undergraduates and children. My teaching style and methods were solidified in my graduate studies at Indiana University where I was an Associate Instructor of Piano. During this time, I taught group piano classes to music and non-music majors, private piano lessons to both graduate and undergraduate students, and worked as a counselor/practice coach for three summers at the prestigious piano summer festival Indiana University Piano Academy.

Instruments: Clarinet
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of attending and performing in the Heritage festival.
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 Music Performance. I chose this because my school did not offer music as a minor, and I have always been good at playing. As a music major I was required to take theory, musicology and composition. I am fairly good at music theory, and if any of my students need help in this area I am willing to help.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
When I graduated high school I stopped playing the clarinet for about a year. Towards the end of my freshman year I realized I missed playing and decided to pick up music again. By making that decision i became a professional musician.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream piece to play is a Benny Goodman piece. Throughout my years I have played jazz and enoy it. He was the greatest jazz clarinetist and I would like to experience that one time.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I think I would be doing fashion. I always had a interest in fashion design but, never pursued it.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
chamber music.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
The only other instrument I play is piano. I stated playing it when I was in High school because it was a requirement to graduate.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes. I am the youngest of 3 and both my older siblings played instruments. One played the flute and the other one played clarinet. My father also used to have his own music show.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session usually begins with scales and small etudes. I then proceed to the piece I am working on, and drill the desired sections. This can take up to 2 hpurs but I never exceed that because I don't want to over practice.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I think the hardest thing to master is the range because the clarinet is one of the few instruments that have almost 4 octaves. The alternate fingerings can also be hard to master.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Mr. Parisi. He was my music teacher in middle school but he pushed me to audition for Eastman. Because of him I attended Eastman School of music through the pathways program, and received private lessons. He also encourage me to do Nyssma festival.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
When I first decided to go into music I wanted to play drums. My parents disapproved because of the noise. I then tried to play the saxophone but, my school was out of saxophones. I then picked the clarinet and stayed with it ever since.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Its best to start learning a piece in sections
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If they are more advanced or show deeper interest in their instrument.
When will I start to see results?
Within a few lessons but it also depends on the player and their leaning ability.
