Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Ukulele Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I believe that choosing lesson material should always be a collaborative experience between student and teacher. Flexibility is one of my core values in teaching music, as I’ve found that each student has unique interests, goals, strengths, and weaknesses. Rather than going into lessons with a set curriculum, I like to give students some agency over what they’d like to learn while making sure to cover fundamentals as they apply along the way. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
My teaching background stems from being taught as a 4 year old and seeing the passion of those who invested in me and my future from a young age. I was encouraged to have a strong practice routine on a consistent schedule so I try and instill the same practice in both my vocal and keyboard students. I believe music is supposed to be a fun experience and always look for ways to implement fun exercises so that the passion for learning is increased. Read More

Very flexible, friendly, understanding and supportive teacher. I encourage my students to play duets with me and their friends (if applicable) and participate in recitals.I also try to teach them basic music theory unless they object, and help them to understand music, learn more about the history of music, and related matters. Some of my students take Royal Conservatory of Music tests regularly. I try to accommodate my students' interests and needs and always open to new things -say if they want to learn guitar accompaniment toa song they want to sing or solo/ accompaniment for a band.

Instruments: Piano Cello
If the student does not express a total passion for wanting to learn the instrument, then I suggest that maybe this is not for them. The most important thing is that when they do have the time to practice, it is focused and in intervals that are divided up, so as not to loose concentration on what they are learning. Again, if the student is not enjoying the music with a passion, there are other things they could be doing that they enjoy! Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Music
For beginning students who are children, I have a wide range of method books such as Alfred's Basic Piano, Bastien Piano basic Method and/or John Thompson's piano course. When my student started to understand the basics of the instrument, we begin to create their repertoire with the songs they are interested in and suitable for their level. For my adult students, I try to find out what they are interested in and guide my teaching accordingly to make lessons exciting and fun, regarding their skill level. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
From 2001 to the present, I have prepared lessons to privately teach music and languages. I assisted foreign students with diction, reading and writing In 2007, for the Eutonic School of music I also assisted in recitals, and accompanied students on the piano. I taught them warm ups and songs geared towards their student levels. I love every aspect of music from teaching to promotion. In addition, I promoted advertised for music social networking site called Warfest.com via Reverbnation.com, and interpersonally where I set up free profiles for music artists, explaining sites benefits.

Instruments: Flute
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I decided to become a professional musician during my sophomore year of high school, when my private teacher helped me first realize that I wanted to pursue music as a career. Once I had made that decision, I have never looked back and I have put my all into pursuing music ever since. My parents have always taught me to give 110% to everything I want to accomplish in my life, and I have done that and more with music. The work that I put into my musical career never feels like a chore because I enjoy it so much, and I cannot wait to see what my future holds.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My grandmother used to play the baritone horn, the harp the piano, and sing when she was younger. When I was a child, I have wonderful memories of going over to her house and playing on her grand piano for hours on end. She would sit next to me and help teach me how to play it. I also remember going to church and listening to her sing in the choir, and I always felt so inspired. When I go to visit her now, I still will sit down at her piano and play just like I used to. She is really the only musically inclined family member I have, but she has always been such a big inspiration for me.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite genre of music to play is world music, specifically music that explores the influences of outside cultures. I fell in love with world music very early on in my musical career, and I am also very interested in ethnomusicology. I find such beauty in the musical style of cultures outside of America, and each time I have the opportunity to learn a new piece inspired by a new culture I get very excited and research everything there is to know about this style of traditional music, the traditional instruments used, and I listen to many recordings of people playing this style of music on both traditional and modern instruments so that I can best represent the culture in my performance of the piece.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I also play the guitar, which I began when I was in the sixth grade. I started to play the guitar after I began flute playing, because I have always been a huge fan of 80s metal music and when I was 11 years old I envisioned myself playing lead guitar in a rock band. I begged my parents for a guitar and guitar lessons, and I ended up joining a rock band of my own through the Detroit School of Rock and Pop Music in high school. I also played in my middle and high school jazz bands on guitar, and although I don't play it much anymore, I still really enjoy picking it up every once in awhile to strum some chords and sing a cover of a song I love.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would absolutely be pursuing a career in the arts, most likely as a creative writer or a journalist. The arts have given me such joy throughout my life, and it has been such an amazing outlet for me to express myself freely and develop my own voice in the world. I love writing, and I love sharing my thoughts and ideas with others. I currently write a monthly column in the Southeast Michigan Flute Association monthly newsletter, and I also write and submit music-related articles to additional flute and music publications in my free time for fun.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream piece to perform is the Concerto for Flute and Orchestra by Joan Tower with an orchestra. I first heard this piece played with an orchestra by one of our doctoral students when I was in my undergraduate, and it was the most electrifying and exciting piece I had ever heard in my entire life. I absolutely loved listening to every second of it, and I immediately bought the score after the performance. I have not had the opportunity to perform this piece yet, but I have begun to learn it and I am very excited to program it on a recital in the near future.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Music Performance from Bowling Green State University with a minor in Entrepreneurship. I chose Music Performance because I fell in love with performing and I really wanted to devote myself to learning how to play the flute really well so that I could perform and share my love for music with audiences. I chose to pursue a minor in entrepreneurship to gain the business and networking skills I need to freelance as a performer and as a teacher, and my minor in entrepreneurship helped me to develop my website "Playing Without Pain" that I run as a form of non-profit and use as a source to connect collegiate musicians with resources to treat and prevent performance-based injuries.
