Instruments: Piano Voice
I believe that it is truly important for any of my students to enjoy and love the music that they're practicing and learning. Therefore, it is important that I develop a specific teaching plan for each student. I encourage setting goals for each student to track progress and celebrate every accomplishment, making students eager to learn more. I encourage live performance, through either school talent shows, auditions, etc, because it is important for any vocalist to practice performing in front of an audience. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute
The atmosphere presented to my students is always casual and friendly. I take care to make them feel relaxed and uninhibited. Either the parents or the students themselves frequently comment how much they appreciate my patience and flexibility. I relate to them as whole persons, not just music students.I strongly emphasize their enjoyment of the music and my expression of pleasure in their successes.I consider it a privilege to nurture others in the experience of music!

Instruments: Piano
I am organized with a good sense of time management able to handle the multiple tasks of a teacher including grading classroom management and lesson planning. My knowledge of music is extensive and I am a skilled teacher who brings concepts to life in creative ways. My student teaching supervisor and professor both commended me on my ability to pass my genuine enthusiasm for the subject matter onto the children. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I would teach my lesson on top of my lesson plans. As a teacher, writing lesson plans is an important factor of keeping the lesson organized. The lesson also depends a lot on the students' learning pace and hard work. I will take time to get to know the students and to find out their different learning style(visual, aural or kinetic. )I will set a detailed goal and plan for my students and keep track of their progress and measure our weekly target accordingly.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
While performing, people would come up to me and ask me if I teach piano. I decided to begin teaching piano for a few students. Those students referred me to other potential piano students. Within a couple years I was teaching piano full time. A few years later, I began playing guitar and took lessons from many instructors. After playing guitar for a few years, as well as piano for 20 years, I considered those two instruments were the best two instruments in the world... Read More

I'm a patient and motivated instructor that strives to grow the knowledge and musicianship to musicians of all ages to assure their highest achievement in the performing arts. I graduated from Pfeiffer University with a Bachelor of Arts in K-12 Music Education with applied Percussion studies in 2005.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Set a consistent time of day and a specific amount of time. Remind yourself that practicing is a gift you are giving yourself. While also and act of discipline, it is a time for self-nurturing and, ultimately, great pleasure.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Try it out once and see! If you’ve made it this far in seeking out lessons, chances are at least one lesson is worth a try.
When will I start to see results?
Thats depends on how much you practice :-) I make it my personal mission as a teacher to help my students learn how to practice during lesson time. Practicing should feel do-able, never daunting or mysterious. If the student isn’t growing with week to week lessons, regardless of how much outside time is put in, I am failing as their teacher.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Absolutely. I have been incredibly lucky in my musical career. The number of inspiring teachers that have helped me get where I am today is too many to list.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Learning how to use your voice, for singjng or otherwise, is one of the most self-empowering himan endeavors. I wanted to invest my time in something that would help me grow as a person as well as, as an artist.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My record label. I have worked very hard over the years to develop the necessary skill set for self-produced music, and I couldn’t be happier with what I have accomplished for myself in that respect.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
One of my current vocal students was awarded a scholarship at OCC.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The most difficult part of learning anything new and worth while is finding the discipline to develop consistency.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I gravitate towards the Bastien series as I feel it takes a good pace for most students and is very thorough in covering music theory. For more academically-minded students, I prefer the Keith Snell series.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
20-30 minutes of warming up and 30-40 minutes of technique in song.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
Performance
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My own compositions. It is hard to put into words the fulfillment that comes with writing and sharing one’s own music, though it is without a doubt profoundly gratifying.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I couldn’t do anything else and be happy.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I have a deep-seated love for all genres of music, and find that the most memorable artists are not limited by the boundaries of genre. I gravitate towards classical music, rock and EDM.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
It was a natural progression to shift from piano to voice. It was the next, necessary step.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I have a very musical family, though to my knowledge I am the first musician.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I woke up one day and realized I was avoiding my greatest passion out of fear. That was the end of that.
