Instruments: Piano
My students are provided with a solid musical and technical foundation that allows them to feel comfortable in any of the countless musical contexts they will encounter as they embark on a life-long musical journey! Most piano methods books are "C and G-centric," causing students to learn to only feel comfortable playing on the white keys and then become either terrified or bewildered any time there is more than one sharp or flat in the key signature.

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a bachelor of arts degree in music. I also have a Master of Arts degree in Education, Teaching, Learning and Curriculum with an emphasis in Music.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I always loved to sing. I think because I loved hearing famous singers on the radio, t.v. and at concerts. I loved their stage presence as well as hearing how their voice could sing a large vocal range and express their emotions. I enjoyed the artists that created emotions in the listeners ears and created a sense of beauty.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I was able to sing with an artists who performed at Carnegie Hall in front of thousands of people. I published a thesis at the University that I attended and earned several honors, scholarships and awards. The highest honor was a Soroptomist International Master's Scholarship.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Several of my students have made honor rolls. They have also been selected for leading singing roles and have sung in prestigious choirs. Some of my special needs students have been cured of their challenges and have moved on to a successful learning path.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Rhythm, vocal sound quality and getting over the fear of performing in public are the most challenging. I also think that singing and playing piano, to the point where you are freely expressing yourself without fear and too much concentration.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I use Bastien, Suzuki, Hal Leonard and Bel Canto singing/piano methods. I also cater to the students interests, strengths and familiar pieces of music. I try to strengthen the students skills through these materials.
When will I start to see results?
It takes a few weeks to grasp one or two concepts and master a beginning level song. It takes about a year to learn several songs and to be able to perform them in public.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My aunt has a beautiful singing voice. My mother is very musical and she was a choir director. My mother was also very involved at my school's musical functions.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If they are eager to learn music, express an interest by tinkering at the piano or singing a lot in the car, playing at home or taking walks etc.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
It is best to practice in the morning when you are fresh or in bits throughout the day. Setting goals is imperative. If you would like to perform, then finding practical ways to do this is helpful, such as open mic venues, churches or bands that are looking to start up.
