Instruments: Piano Voice
For beginning piano students, I typically start with the Hal Leonard "My First Piano Adventure for the Young Beginner," series. As students progress in their piano studies, I begin introducing solo repertoire that will support the concepts being learned in the book series. I will also assign small writing projects from time to time, to sharpen students' compositional and music reading skills. For voice students, my approach will vary, depending on individual experience and skills. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion
I like to take a holistic approach in teaching beginners by incorporating Technique, Ear Training, Music Theory, and Improvisation right from the start. This allows the student to quickly be able to learn songs by ear and write their own music. For more advanced and older students, I prefer to see where they are in their first lesson and hear what their goals are. Some people do not care if they can read music or not and that is totally cool! Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
My goal is to instill a love for music with all my students. Imodify my style and approach to the interests and skills of each student. No student is alike and therefore, no teaching approach is alike. As long as the student is enjoying playing an instrument, progressing, my goal has been reached. Read More
Instruments: Piano
My teaching and tutoring experience, both in piano and music theory, dates back to my high school days, as I was chosen to be the substitute of my own piano teacher, in occasions she could not give lessons. Since my last year of High School, I have had private students who exclusively studied with me, and whom I had to work with on auditions repertoire for entering music schools and conservatory.

Instruments: Piano Voice Organ Synthesizer Keyboard
I got a 5 on the AP Music Theory exam, and have an overview of theoretical and performance education in contemporary, classical, and jazz idioms. I have taught private hour long piano lessons one-on-one with young children and adults, and taught music theory in group classes as well as privately, through the Shalala MusicReach Program at the University of Miami. Some other tidbits about me are that I have Perfect Pitch, which means that I can quickly learn and notate music for you that you want to learn, and that I am also proficient in music production and notation software if you need help or want to record anything Read More
Instruments: Piano
I emphasize both notes and rhythms in my teaching, and for both notes and rhythms, I strongly believe in the importance of being able to not only read them, but hear and feel them as well. These aural skills are an immense part of accelerating a student's development, helping them learn and memorize music quickly, familiarizing them with music theory, and creating a close personal relationship between themselves and their musical studies.

Instruments: Piano Voice Clarinet Keyboard
I am a passionate voice and beginning piano teacher with over ten years of experience teaching. For beginner piano students I use the Piano Adventures curriculum. With voice students I use an integrated technique involving Alexander Technique, Yoga, and the Swedish-Italian School of singing. I also believe in maintaining a positive and challenging learning environment for my students. I hold a Bachelor of Music Education from Seton Hill University and a Master of Music from Duquesne University. Read More

When will I start to see results?
Every week! They might not be the type of results you expect, but in my experience, a lesson isn't successful if you don't have at least one concrete takeaway. When I'm taking lessons as a student, I always feel like a better musician afterwards than I did before.
If you're looking for big, exciting changes in your musical ability, it all depends on the type of student you are. Some people have a natural affinity for music; it just makes sense to them. Even if you're not this type of person, we'll talk specifically about what music speaks to you, and you'll be able to use that to learn at whatever speed makes you happy.
Right away, it can be tough; Ira Glass says that's one of the hardest things about being an artist, because at first, our taste is better than our talent, and we know we're not talented yet.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Interestingly, I had no desire to play piano. What I really wanted was to play guitar, but my dad told me I wasn't allowed to play the guitar until I had a foundation taking piano lessons. Piano, after all, is a better instrument to learn on if you're going to become a "music person." In third grade, I started taking piano for this reason and immediately forgot all about guitar! I was so happy to be playing such an incredibly versatile instrument that when I did finally take guitar lessons, I was frustrated by how limited I felt it was. My love for piano was especially fostered by my elementary, middle, and high school choral instructors, who let me accompany the choruses I was in. This allowed me to see a different side of piano that I loved: Not just an instrument that stood on its own, but in fact one that supplemented other instruments as well.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Make a habit of it! If you set aside 15 minutes every day to practice, eventually it won't feel like work anymore. You'll be able to feel safe in your little world and really explore whatever it is that you need to work on. Once you get there, make sure you have specific goals in mind for each practice session. Maybe you want to figure out how to phrase a particular line. Maybe you want to understand the emotional dynamics of a piece. Maybe you just want to figure out where it's most natural to breathe. Whatever your goal, know what it is from the start, make it attainable, and don't stop til you've got it!
