Instruments: Piano Violin Cello
I have been teaching for over 15 years and I love watching students grow in their musical abilities. I get so excited when the passion comes out of them into their playing. I got my Bachelors in music performance on cello, but I started on piano and violin when I was six years old. I have performed all over Northeastern Ohio and it was a great experience being able to share the love of music with other people. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Euphonium French Horn
The most essential element of music is FUN. Naturally, all students meet challenges and frustrating situations. Because I have experienced this myself, I understand completely! I develop a unique approach with each of my students. I am very comfortable teaching voice, piano, and brass instruments. For all of my students, I am fully aware of the standard method books. However, in the past, I have made a special point of working from those books only until it's no longer necessary. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I am very patient and responsibe teacher. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction on their wants and needs. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I cater my teaching to each student and put my emphasis on the appreciation of music in general. Even if the child ends up not continuing as a pianist, my goal is that he/she will always be in contact with music, whether as a patron, composer, or playing another instrument. I set attainable goals at each lesson to keep the student interested, and focus on the process rather than the product, so setbacks do not become discouraging. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion
I have a great passion for music, which I enjoy sharing with others through teaching, performing, composing, and recording. I have played in many different types of ensembles including marching, concert, pep bands, orchestras, pit orchestras, percussion ensembles, drum corps, rock, heavy metal, and country bands, as well as steel drum bands. I graduated from the University of Akron with a Bachelor or Arts in Music. In 2007, I received my Masters in Music Composition from Cleveland State University. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
It is important to realize that any practice is good even if it is just for 5-10 minutes a day. The idea is to develop a positive habit and to know that even the smallest amount of time can help you to get better. Students that can do 5-10 minutes a day usually will find that the amount of time spent on their instrument will increase as they begin to play. Most people assume that you have to spend hours a day to become good and get frustrated and then don't practice at all. It's better to do a little at a time and see how it goes. It's like meditation- when you start it may be hard to focus for a long time but as you practice it becomes easier to stay focused for longer.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child shows an interest in music then it is time to try some lessons. I've taught young children in the 3-5 year range who just want to hold a guitar or to hit the drums. Those experiences can be really powerful in getting a kid excited to play and practice and can help a student to a deep understanding of music at a younger age. Concepts like rhythm and melody can be taught to the youngest students and I think the most important part is that parents not develop overly high or unrealistic expectations. Fun and appreciation of music are most important with younger students.
When will I start to see results?
It all depends on the student, practice time, motivation, desire. Everyone progresses at a different rate and we all have so much going on that it is hard to prioritize. Learning music is a long process where there are lots of plateaus and climbs. For a beginner it is easy to get better quickly since everything is new and can be seen as an improvement whereas an intermediate or advanced student may take longer to get to the next level. The important thing to know is that if you practice you will get better.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My orchestra teachers in 5th grade through high school inspired me- Elenore Osborne, Rich Osterling and Ken Brown- and my jazz teacher Bill Tiberio all had a profound effect on my love of music. I was fortunate to go to a high school that had a very strong music program where all of the teachers were supportive of students involved in the arts. My college teachers- not so much- but after college as I began my career as a professional musician I met older cats who taught me how to be a musician. They challenged me to get better and to constantly strive to learn more and not settle. They also taught me the importance of being able to communicate effectively and the importance of being fun to hang out with. My peers continue to challenge and inspire me to be a better performer, teacher and person.
