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

I'm a lover of music and want those who pursue music to be as well! I am passionately motivated as a musician, minister of music, and singer.

During lessons, I often compare concepts to other activities my students know and love - their favorite sport, video games, or books. I love sharing my magic tricks - shortcut exercises to make tricky passages instantly easier, and youll definitely catch me encouraging my students to listen, listen, listen! Every genre of music has something different you can learn and it adds to your own creative toolkit. I expect students to practice regularly and thoughtfully - seeking to play their very best and working to improve every time they pick up their instrument. Read More

I began teaching private lessons part-timewhen I was still in high school on Long Island. I have taught in elementary day care in the early 1990's and taught in public schools elementary general music and chorus, beginning instrumental music at the elementary level, as well as middle school orchestra in the San Lorenzo Unified School District. After a vocal chord injury, I left the public schools to create my indie record label, produce new projects and allow healing. Read More

My lesson plans are curated for individual needs. Over the past twelve years, I have worked with all ages, talent levels, and abilities, and have learned that it is absolutely essential for the teacher to adjust their methods for each students, as each individual has different goals, learning styles, interests, and needs. I strive to find new music my students will fall in love with, and am constantly learning new music to help them play their favorite songs at their current level. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I enjoy observing each student’s character in their playing and design lessons tailored for them. Also finding a good balance between the music that a student is good at, and others that a student is not familiar with. Playing piano is in a way of expressing one's opinion through music. Learning the history, musicology, stories behind a piece, and the different techniques and tones for expressing the music, are all important features in my teaching. Read More

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.
