Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
My teaching experience began almost 20 years ago. I was teaching kindergarten, and one of the parents mentioned that she was considering getting piano lessons for her son. I mentioned that I had studied piano, loved it and was getting back into playing. She asked me, since I had experience working with young children, if I would consider teaching her son. I thought if over for about 5 minutes, agreed, and never looked back. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
Over 22 years of experience in voice and piano training. I have been involved in over 25 community theater productions and have been performing locally since the age of 6. Some credits include; Ariel in Footloose, Rizzo in Grease, Annie in Annie, and Mama Morton in Chicago. Read More

Going from singing for fun, to performing professionally, to music therapy has only intensified my passion for helping others. Teaching others is such a unique experience, especially when when it involves music. I believe teaching is at its best when the teacher her/himself discovers something new as well. I always include a strong understanding of vocal padagogy; vocal health; piano pedagogy; Classical, pop, musical theatre; stage performance; basic music theory and solfedge. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
Originally from Kansas City, I studied vocal performance, choral conducting and music education at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music. I have directed and music directed productions all over the United States, including the current Off-Broadway production of Honestly Abe. I have performed a wide variety of leading roles in everything from opera and operetta, to musical comedy and straight drama. He has been a featured performer with such esteemed organizations as Music Theatre for Young People of Kansas City, The Kansas City Symphony, The Kansas City Lyric Opera, Indiana University Opera Ballet Theatre, the 13th Street Repertory, La Muse Venale Acting Troupe, and the Bloomington Playwrights Project.

Instruments: Piano Harp
I am a pianist and harpist with a bachelor's degree in music. I have been teaching privately for the past 5-10 years. I also can teach improvisationally along with music theory. I perform in NJ often on the harp and I was a church organist also for 10 years in the past.Right now because of the coronavirus I would like to teach students on line via facetime. It is new to me, but I think it can work! Read More
Instruments: Piano
I earned a doctoral degree in Piano Performance at Florida State University College of Music. My decision to pursue a post-graduate degree in this field was based on my desire to continue my artistic development, while taking next steps towards a career in education. This course of study has allowed me to do so by expanding the scope of my pedagogical acumen, primarily through teaching assistantships. I am teaching and coordinating private lessons for major and non-major students at Florida State University. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Cello Viola
However, I do not teach the Suzuki method. I use the book for the songs and exercises in the book. I also like all students to work from a theory book. When we learn how to speak, we also learn how to read and write in our language. I believe that the same is important for music. I use different books for adults and children. As for continuing students, I will see what they know and continue from there. 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!
