Instruments: Piano Trumpet Saxophone Flute Synthesizer Music Keyboard
My formal teaching experience began at East Carolina University in my undergraduate years. I had the opportunity to work as an instructor for the Jazz Track at the ECU Summer Music Camp for four years before I moved on to graduate school at Peabody Conservatory. Additionally I've taught many private lessons in North Carolina and York Pennsylvania. I am proud to say my students have received honors including first chair in NCMEA All-District Jazz Ensemble as well as the ECU School of Music Scholarship. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I individualize my instruction based on each student's musical background and goals. Each student is unique, and has his or her own unique learning style. However, for beginning piano students I tend to start with either the Bastien Piano Library, Alfred Piano Library, or Faber Piano Adventures to provide a basic groundwork and methodology. For vocal students, I craft their study depending on the style of music that the student expresses an interest in and organize their technical studies to accommodate that vocal style. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I offer Piano and Music theory lessons to students of all ages and levels. Each of my student gets customized curriculum and repertoire. The first lessons includes talking about your goals, discussing your music preferences and experience, your availability to practice weekly, and making a plan for you for the next six months. Do you want to play just for your self or would you like to perform publicly? Do you like to be on stage or do you have a fear of stage? Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
My methods of teaching are primarily based on the individual. Within the first lesson, I make an assessment of the individuals musical abilities, and document the genres of music that interests the student. I then create a curriculum based on that assessment, which includes music theory, building repertoire (including music that interests the student), and music history/literature. I also encourage the student to engage in music competitions/auditions and student recitals. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I'm a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music. I graduated from George Mason University with a Master in Vocal Pedagogy and Bachelor of Music degree in piano and voice. I have the Artist Diploma in Vocal Performance at The Royal Conservatoire of Monaco. I was the Semi-Finalist of NATS, singing fluently in Italian, German, French, Latin and Korean. Performing all over the Northern Virginia and several states has been one of the greater experiences of my life as a musician, and I've had the opportunity to play both at the Performing Arts Concert Hall in Virginia, as well as music teacher as several performances as the principle director/pianist with Va Youth Orchestra.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Cello Music Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
My teaching experience dates back to high school when I started teaching cello to students in my school district's orchestra program. Since then, I have continued to teach freelance through personal connections, Musika, and various non-profit organizations. Furthermore, I am currently in my internship to become a board certified music therapist, and have experience teaching music to individuals with intellectual disabilities, developmental disabilities, and dementia/Alzheimer's. I challenge my students to reach their potential while making sure they have the room to thrive in a safe and fun environment. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet
I love to teach. I love sharing the knowledge and experience that I've accumulated over the years as a Musician. For me the best part is opening my students eyes to the possibilities music has to offer. Its very rewarding to see them grow and not only achieve the goals we set together but to become continually curious about music and life. I love to encourage my students yet I also am not afraid to let them know when they're veered off of the path. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Recorder
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My parents tell me that I began to be interested in the violin at age two. I have no recollection of this, but after years of asking to play the violin, I began my violin lessons at age seven. My love of the instrument is still there now and is stronger than it was when I was a child. Growing up, I was really small for my age and very uncoordinated when it came to dance and sports. The violin was perfect for someone of small stature, as they make them in smaller sizes for children.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I would say that the musical accomplishment I am most proud of is just being able to enstill the joy of music into my students. My goal for them is to truly enjoy their instrument and most do! Besides that, I am proud that I have successful achieved a bachelors and masters degree in music. Some classes, like conducting class, pushed me out of my comfort zone, but made me a better musician in the process. I am also proud of the ensemble groups that I have played with for weddings. It is such a joy to make beautiful music for one’s special day.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Because I specialize in young beginner students, not many have one awards. That being said, my older students have been selected for All-District orchestra in PA, York Youth Symphony Orchestra, York Junior Symphony Orchestra, All-County Orchestra in Harford County, PA, Harford Youth Orchestra, and Harford String Orchestra. My students have been selected for admission in the Philadelphia Performing Arts Charter School and also have been awarded scholarships to attend music camps. My students have received high ratings in county and state solo and ensemble festivals in Maryland.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I think everything about the violin is difficult. Probably the one thing that is the hardest is intonation, also known as playing in tune. Since the violin does not have frets like a guitar, it can be challenging to figure out where to put your fingers. Beginner students frequently use tapes on their stringed instruments in order to grasp the finger placement. Intermediate and advanced students must use their ears instead of their eyes for finger placement. To do that, your ears must be keen and then you have to have the muscle memory as well for exact finger placement.
