Instruments: Piano Drums Organ Synthesizer
Hi, I am a pianist, composer, teacher, and multi-instrumentalist originally from upstate New York. I am passionate about all of the above, but I consider teaching to be the most immediately rewarding. In 2008 I completed my degree in music at the State University of New York in Fredonia. Shortly afterwards, I made a journey to the west coast and found a home in the SF bay area. I got involved in the vibrant music scene as quick as possible and played with as many different types of musicians as I could find. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Drums Music Keyboard
For most of my beginning piano students, I use the piano adventures series. They offer a clear and well paced curriculum with numerous supplemental resources in a variety of styles. For beginning music theory, I use the Berklee School of Music texts or the Benward and Saker textbooks as well as many videos and other resources to explore musical concepts. For singing, I use a variety of sight singing books, all depending on the age and experience of the student. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Euphonium Tuba
My teaching experience began in my first year of college teaching beginning piano. I have since grown my studio from there to teaching trombone. I encourage students to be passionate about what they play while also balancing what we learn through various method books. I found I improved the most when I was playing music I enjoy rather than playing the music that was given to me by my piano teacher. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Cello Viola Ukulele Recorder Music Acoustic Guitar
My teaching experience comes from my experiences and lessons from my previous private teachers. During my 10 years of lessons I learned that importance of a regularly maintained practice schedule leads to the most effective practice sessions. I try to encourage students of all ages to seek out music that they find enjoyable and I do what i can to shape my lessons to make learning the music exciting. I try to anticipate a students need.

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet
Especially for young people, maintaining interest and ensuring that they continue to see the value of their musical education is essential. I remember a very frank conversation with my mother when at 13 I wanted to give up music to play football, and I blame that on the style of teaching I was receiving. Whilst there is stuff not to like about instrumental learning - for some it's scales, for me it was sight reading - the satisfaction comes from masterng these challenges, and if we can keep these short and long term goals relevant to the student, getting the practice hours done may be a litte easier on everyone!

Instruments: Piano Flute Piccolo
It is important and rewarding for both me and the student to have a passion for their music and learning. Because of this, it is important to me that each student sets their own goals. I will encourage and help the students to set high but realistic goals that will bring them enthusiasm for the music. I try to bring inspiration and a lot of guidance to each student. And I love to have fun. Read More

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
All of the teachers I have worked with from middle school all the way through college have inspired me in many different ways. However, the teachers that inspired me the most were my private lesson instructors in high school and college. I feel like one on one work with talented professionals throughout the past 8 years really jumpstarted my passion for music because of how personalized their teaching was to my specific way of learning.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I find that effectively practicing different concepts and fundamentals is directly linked to how easily we can relate the practice to our own aspirations on the instrument. For this reason I always make sure to show students exactly what the practice of certain concepts will lead to in their own playing down the road and how it correlates to their personal goals. This way, students will be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel while staying inspired. Segmenting practicing is very important as well so there is always a clear idea of what you are trying to improve at in the time you have.
When will I start to see results?
The rate at which you see noticable results in playing and understanding concepts depends on many factors including, but not limited to: experience playing your instrument, early exposure to different genres of music, average amount of time consuming music per day, the difficulty of the concepts being worked on, age, stamina, amount of practice time, etc. When it comes to progressing on an instrument, everyone is different. Mastering a certain scale could take one person a few weeks and another person a full year. Every student has their strengths and weaknesses. As long as a beginner student does focused daily practice for just 30 minutes a day, it's possible for them to sound like a completely different player in as soon as a week.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Knowing if your child is ready to start taking lessons has nothing to do with their experience or abilities on their instrument and everything to do with their willingness to start learning about music. If they don't have an interest in learning music, putting them on a practice schedule could deter them from ever gaining an interest. On the other hand, putting a child that's already interested in music through lessons can skyrocket their passion and abilities.
