Instruments: Piano Trumpet Keyboard
I am a musician, composer, arranger, and educator originally from Waukesha, Wisconsin. I attended the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami from 2012-2016 and obtained a bachelor's degree in Studio Music and Jazz Instrumental on trumpet. I moved to New York and received a masters degree in Jazz Performance from the Manhattan School of Music in 2018. I have been fortunate to be able to tour and travel to Eastern Europe, Mexico, Canada, and all over the US playing music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
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
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Bass Guitar Synthesizer Euphonium Tuba Keyboard
I have an arsenal of books and teaching techniques that will give the student the best chance at successful learning. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
In lessons, I strive to keep the atmosphere collaborative rather than dictatorial. I encourage you, the student, to ask questions, and I believe it's imperative for you to understand why what you're learning is important. I do my best to make you feel comfortable trying new things and making mistakes. Ultimately, learning vocal technique requires a delicate balance of putting your trust in the teacher without abandoning individual thought. Knowing this, I try to engender the necessary trust inmy knowledge while collaborating with you to incorporate your own words, metaphors, thoughts, and feelings into your approach. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I started teaching private lessons when I was in college. During my masters program, I also taught chorus. I have taught private lessons for more than 15 years since I first started. I teach all different levels from beginners to advanced levels, and I have also taught student between the ages of 4 and 80. Classical music for me is the foundation which can help students with many techniques. Using techniques rooted in Classical music can enable the student to be able to sing, play or even compose other style of music. Read More

Instruments: Piano
Teaching piano has been a continual experience for me that initially began as a part time venture. For the last 10 years, I have enjoyed sharing my knowledge and experience with students of all ages. Each of them have their own individual style that I like to help them explore in order to encourage their expansion into the plethora of repertoire and genre's available. Whether it's classical or broadway, I work with all of my students to enhance their understanding of the world through musical expression! Read More
Instruments: Trumpet Saxophone Flute Clarinet
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Beginner players will use the Premier Performance book by Ed Sueta. This book is used by most band programs and it will help each student with the basic music fundamentals to help them succeed in the process. Intermediate Players will use the Smith-Yoder-Bachman Band Method book. This book allows intermediate players to explore more on their horns and to play around with alternate fingering patterns. Advance Players will play from the Lazarus method book. This book will prepare for recitals and college level experiences.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I have had several students make the all west honors band. My students are very aware on how important it is to practice once they leave and go home. They all succeed in the process through following the instructions to improve over time. A good performance and lessons will always lead to success later on in life. Everything pays off in the long-run because teachers work hard to make sure their students are learning everything that is needed to move on to the next level. Some of my students I work with privately are section leaders of their band programs.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on the clarinet is when its time to cross the bridge. This is the time that the student is ready to play in a different octave on their instrument and have to learn how to cross from one octave to the next octave. In order to accomplish this goal, the student have to work hard to make it happen and with the help of the teacher the student will cross the bridge. This technique is a struggle, but with great practice, motivation, and determination it will prosper overtime.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Learning how to play the clarinet was one of the most amazing accomplishments in my life. At times it became very hard and I wanted to give up, but as I continue to face my obstacles I begin to overcome them through my music. I am also proud of being a teacher and being able to teach students how to do the exact same thing I did when I was their age. Traveling from different cities and states being able to do what I love is another accomplishment that makes me smile. Remember things that you have a passion for will always be an accomplishment that will make a person proud.
