Instruments: Piano Trumpet
It is important to use relatable and relevant music in addition to classical and jazz. Everything from Bach to Charlie Parker to Ariana Grande deserves respect and being open minded from a teachers point of view is very important to retain students. Furthermore, it is crucial to not overcomplicate musical concepts. Too many teachers try to confuse their students with the objective of feeling powerful and intelligent. This usually just drives students away. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Cello Viola Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Clarinet Bass Guitar Synthesizer French Horn
For the past 20 years, I've studied and performed with keyboards, guitars and woodwind instruments while exploring a very wide variety of music ranging from classical and rock to jazz and avant-garde. Expanding and sharing that knowledge with other people in a helpful and friendly manner is something that I consummately enjoy- especially if they're beginning where I once was. My education includes a Bachelor of Music in Music Composition from DePaul University, and I've been working on my Music Education Certificate at UMSL since August 2014. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
While receiving my masters degree in Vocal Performance at the University of Kentucky I became a teacher at a youth arts academy, Academy for Creative Excellence. I never envisioned myself as a voice teacher, but as I grew to know my students and see the impact of the arts on their young lives it has become a true passion of mine.Since discovering my love for teaching voice, I myself have sung more musical theatre as it is the most popular genre I teach.

Instruments: Piano
I am highly motivated to determine the unique musical talent of each individual student, and their learning style and developing their potential. I have a Bachelor of Arts and Masters of Music in Piano Pedagogy, and an Educational Specialist Degree in Special Education. This degree is the same as an ED D, but many electives. Mine was in brain sciences, neurology, autism, developmental disorders, and music. This degree enables me to use music for cognitive improvement in autism. Read More
Instruments: Piano Clarinet
As a first step, I will focus on students to get good fundamental skills as much as we can. It is alway important for all of students to bring next level. So, I will use some etudes and scale books published in the lesson, and teach some my original practice methods. I usually suggest the repertoire students should learn but I am always flexible to teach what students want to learn so that students do not feel being forced to learn music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trombone
I am an experienced and versatile trombonist and educator living in Chicago. I hold a Master of Music in Jazz Studies from DePaul University and a Bachelor of Music from the University of Denver.. I have been teaching and playing professionally for over 7 years. My professional experiences include playing in big bands, small jazz ensembles, musical theater productions, salsa bands, wedding bands, funk groups, and traveling the world performing aboard cruise ships.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Choose quality over quantity every time. Often times, there are events in our everyday lives that we can't pass up on and some times that effects our practice schedule. When faced with situations such as these, it's better to refine your session to one idea and really get it down rather than trying to cram as much in as possible. Take small, controlled steps when taking on a big project. Heavy leaps can result in error and cause frustration. Slow and steady wins the race and music is a life long practice.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
A good sign that you're kid is ready for private lessons would be if they take sharp interest in music early on or if they're seated within the top chairs of the instrument section they're in. Students who take interest early on might develop a good ear by singing accurately to songs they hear on the radio, are able to produce an uncanny amount of sound on their instrument for their age or perhaps can sight read easier than most others. The easiest way to find it would be to simply ask but that's when knowing your child's behavior is best. Some times a kid will think they're already good enough and they don't need guidance and other times they may be too shy.
When will I start to see results?
It's important to have goals or have a general idea that you want to complete for the student but it's also important not to think about specific dates for reaching a specific results. This ideology can lead to too much pressure and cause stress. If a student does their work efficiently and keeps a consistent pattern, results will come. You can start to see results within a few days or weeks, depending on much time a day you have to dedicate to your practice. The important thing it to not get overwhelmed. Patience is a virtue!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes! My high school band camp instructor inspired my friend and I to pursue music professionally. We had already been interested but he really refined our thought process on a lot of things musically and non-musically that helped shape me into the person I am today. His skill and knowledge was inspiring because he made everything look so simple. This way of thought really caught my attention when I was a student. He's still very active in the music composition community which means he's still influential to me.
