Instruments: Piano
My lessons include a time to practice piano technique as well as time to learn new pieces. I usually recommend R. and N. Faber books for beginners. I also encourage performances and for those, I let students choose works (classical, romantic, contemporary, jazz, or pop) based on skill level and personal interest. Having a goal for a performance can really help to motivate learning and practicing at home.I also incorporate duets when appropriate. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
Hello, I am currently Artist Diploma voice student at Cleveland Institute of Music. I had my Bachelor in Shanghai Conservatory of Music. I studied piano for over 10 years. I always did some accompaniment in China. I taught piano in China and in Cleveland and voice at CSA. I performed in many operas at school also with opera company. I love to share my knowledge to students who would like to study music. Read More
Instruments: Piano
Since I was inspired to play piano by ear after hearing a Mozart piano sonata when I was five, my love of music brought me to many places performing professionaly, whether it's a Dvorak trio, a big band standard, or a Daft Punk cover. I began my formal training at the Cleveland Institute of Music for eleven years, while also studying violin, percussion, trumpet, and composing along the way. Beginning by performing as a freelance accompanist, church organist, and teaching piano at Baldwin - Wallace College, I've gone on to play at the University of Connecticut Chamber Music Festival in 2009, and earned my Master's in piano performance in 2010.

I simply enjoy helping people establish and accomplish their goals on their instruments. The first step is to identify what holds a student's attention. What is it about music that has motivated them to study? Not everyone has the same goal or vision, which is a good thing. Even self-taught musicians incorporate theory and harmony into their compositions. My personal style toggles between when I was 14 learning Metallica songs to the present, having studied jazz and classical harmony. 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
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Euphonium French Horn
I am an experienced and passionate teacher and performer. I hold my K-12 Music Teaching Certification in Ohio and New Jersey. As a professional vocalist, I have appeared with various orchestras and small opera companies in Chicago, Cleveland, Philadelphia, and beyond. I have performed at Severance Hall, Playhouse Square, Philadelphia's Kimmel Center, and Chicago's Harris Theater, but as a student, I never thought that would be the case. My teachers have included some of the finest in the Northeast and Midwest, and I thank them for treating me as an individual with unique needs as a musician. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Flute
My teaching experience dates back to my high school days and has continued through the past twelve years. I love seeking to discover the unique learning pathway for every individual student and tailoring lessons specificially to grow and enhance foundations that other teachers have already built. I have a number of students who compose their own original material and encourage others in that capacity as well. 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.
