Instruments: Piano Violin Viola
My main goal is to create a positive, productive and enjoyable learning experience for my students. In my lessons, I am helping my students to learn not only the particular technique or element but some aspects of music history as well as composers' background and important facts about musical styles. Each semester I have a recital for my students where they can share their progress and excitement about the lessons and music. Read More

Prior to studying at Peabody I toured professionally with various jazz ensembles, including competing for first place wins at the Reno (Nevada) Jazz festival for two years. At Peabody I studied with Fernando Laires and later, Robert Weirich where I excelled in contemporary music and difficult avant guarde performance ensembles. I was also a frequent guest performer for the Peabody Camerata Ensemble under director Gene Young. In the mid 90s I created the Bachelor of Music curriculum for the Maryland Bible College. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute Recorder
Methods are tailored around the individual needs and goals of the student. Fundamentals in music theory are balanced with repertoire and lessons focus on developing practice skills that the student can use outside the lesson. The Suzuki method is ideal for beginning flute students, particularly young students. This approach allows students to become comfortable holding the instrument, producing a solid tone, and training the ear, before introducing notation. For beginning pianists, the Bastien series works well in terms of breaking down repertoire into manageable pieces and marking students' progress in early study. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
My teaching experience dates back to my high school time. I was the top student in theory class. So when my theory teacher is not able to come to the class, I helped with the class content. Therefore I value theory very much, I teach theory knowledge with piano skills together. I am a extremely patient person and I teach students depending on their own personalities. I am very communicative, I especially talk to parents and kids so I can know what why I should choose to teach. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums Keyboard
I got an associate degree on Piano instrument at Plurinational Conservatory of Music in Bolivia. I taught music by one-a-one and group lessons. I'm a highly innovative and resourceful education professional who quickly identifies and resolves challenging class situations and also I am passionate music for classical genere and contemporary. The challenge and satisfaction gained is to see how the students can develop the music skills on theory lessons and by playing an instrument. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
I began teaching in the music performance/ production field in 2010, while away at Morgan State University in Baltimore Maryland. I started teaching production to middle school students first, using my laptop, audio interface, and midi keyboard. What surprised me the most was that the students wanted to play the keyboard more than record their voices, so with that being the case, my journey as a piano teacher began. After that class I became a music teachers aid and eventually found a position as a part time piano teacher at a performing arts camp. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice where you have privacy, sometimes you have to belt the note to get it and knowing your sister is in the next room sometimes makes us want to hold back. Don't be afraid to try something new and just go for it. If it doesn't come out right then that is new material for our next lesson. Don't be afraid of the mirror. Use it to watch your body react to the things we talk about in lessons. And practice your breathing. I want you to breathe from your diaphragm so often that it becomes the only way you breathe.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If you're child asks, they are ready. I started when I was 4 or 5. It may not go smoothly and there may be a break in their desire for lessons, but even if a child stops after a few months, when the time comes for them to start again they will be able to recall all those early lessons and bring back that existing knowledge. Do Not ever force your child to take any sort of music lesson. They need to find the passion themselves. And it is never too late to start lessons either. You have never missed your chance to start exploring your own voice.
When will I start to see results?
This is solely dependent on the student. It may be the first lesson, it may be the 10th lesson. Somedays a student is going to walk out of lessons feeling on top of the world and as if they accomplished everything there is to know about voice. As such somedays a student will walk out feeling let down by themselves or like they sounded terrible or took steps back. The nature of the beast is the vocal instrument is your body, so everything you do has an effect. But to see results that can happen as early as the first trial lesson.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I have had the amazing opportunity to work with many incredible teachers. My vocal coaches Frank Pitts, Bruce Bennett, and Sandra Dudley have all become great friends of mine. They have never stopped pushing and believing in me even when I didn't. And now I am an international selling recording artist. Also my earlier teachers like Mr. Alan MacNair pushed me to get here. He was the first person to be honest with me about the work that was to come as I began music school. I would not be here if it wasn't for the many (too many to list) teachers who have inspired me.
