Instruments: Piano Organ Music
My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part-time 10 years ago, and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio for the last 5 years. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Music Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I am a musician with a true passion for teaching the art of music to individuals of all ages. Music has been a part of my life since I started [laying the guitar 45 years ago and I have been professionally instructing for 30 + years. I gained my music education in "Advanced musical studies" by attending years of lessons with several private and University instructors in Michigan. I own the Oakland guitar studios located in West Bloomfield and South Lyon since 1993. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Euphonium French Horn Tuba Music
I am passionate about my students and about music. From the outset of working with music students I emphasize the importance of good posture and handling of their instrument, good breathing technique, good embouchure, and regular practice in order to develop strong embouchure and technique and knowledge of their instrument. I love teaching! Whether it is music, dance, math, or anything else I may find myself teaching, I give my all to my students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums
More than anything music should be fun. The greatest musicians are the ones who enjoy playing music even when they're just practicing. I like to teach in a way that involves asking the student questions in order to get them to figure out the answer for themself, rather than just lecturing the whole time while they start daydreaming! This way the student is more involved in the learning process and it can make their time spent learning an instrument more worth it. Read More

I take the great things about the Suzuki Method and use them (fun, creativity, by-ear learning, group jams). Then I take the things I don't like about the method and disregard them (pre-established repetoire, no composition or improv). I teach kids how to concentrate, how to teach themselves, how to ignore distractions, and the philosophy for joyful performance without nervousness. The result has been that I have trained hundreds of children to have fun playing music well, plus four of my child students have become national acts. Read More

My teaching style is laid back with the full intention of moving forward in both technique and enjoyment. Each Lesson is geared toward the Goals we agree on as Student and Teacher. Depending on age and experience, I set goals at 3 months or 6 months. It is crucial to allow the student to learn at his or her own rate. Again, I strive to find the Creativity in the Student and to see how that can be developed as quickly as possible, especially if they are interested in songwriting, singing, composition, or simply doing their "own thing".

Instruments: Piano Drums Synthesizer Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion
I have been teaching music for more than 10 years. While living in New York City I taught group ensemble classes for students ages 10-16 which played everything from jazz standards to pop, rock, hip-hop and blues. I’ve taught private lessons in drums, guitar and piano for Third Street Music Settlement, the country’s oldest community music school. My students have went on to participate in Berklee School of Music and Jazz at Lincoln Center educational programs. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I do not use specific methods or books that I use. My teaching style and the music selected for each student is purely based on the needs and goals of the student. My goal is to always challenge the student while allowing them to feel a sense of accomplishment.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Typically, I prefer to teach students who are in their teens because their voice has started to mature. I am comfortable teaching students as young as 10, where basic musicianship and music fundamentals are introduced..
When will I start to see results?
This varies among students and their stage of development. Most students will not see results immediately. It takes time to train the voice. However, with smart and consistent practice, growth can be seen within the first weeks of lessons.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My high school choir teacher inspired me to pursue music. She was always encouraging and support my goals in every way possible. I hope to be like her as a teacher and make an impact on my students' lives.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream performance would be a concert of Britten's Canticles. I believe they are each powerful works of art that brilliantly display the story each tells.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
All of my degrees are in performance. I simply love to perform. Whether I'm singing in an ensemble of 40 or giving a solo performance being on stage is one of my passions. Performing music allows me to express emotions or share a message with a greater population.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I began singing in my high school choir, but I did not take my first voice lesson until I began my undergraduate studies.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
In order to practice efficiently, one should practice every day. Practices should begin with both a full body and vocal warm up, which includes stretches, breathing exercises, and other vocalises to prepare the body to sing. When practicing a technique or learning new music, "slow and steady wins the race!" This will ensure than good habits are being built into the instrument and the techniques and music are accurately learned.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Coordination of all of the moving parts is the hardest part to master. The voice is a complex instrument, and when a new technique is introduced, another may suffer. Learning how to balance each aspect is a challenge, yet very rewarding.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would probably be a travel agent. I love to see the world and experience new cultures! I try to travel when there is free time in my schedule.
