Instruments: Piano Voice Flute Clarinet
I began teaching before I graduated from high school thanks to a tutoring program at the high school. I had so much fun working with the elementary school kids that I decided to build a studio up of my own and ever since i have been working with a number of students ages ranging from 4-80. My students are individually pushed to reach goals that they make for themselves at the start of lessons no matter what that goal might be and I love being able to make a fun journey to that goal.

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
Every child has their own way of learning. Some are visual, others aural, verbal or kinesthetic. As a teacher I will adapt my lessons to each child needs. The basic structure of the lesson is review/present the new concept, apply it and at the end of the lesson discuss the new given homework for the following lesson. I will go to the student pace. I also take into account their reason of learning music and no matter what I try to make lessons interesting and fun for them. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I am a passionate and motivated voice and piano instructor who loves working and meeting new students! I began singing in the 4th grade in the musical Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! It was my very first time ever being on stage, and ever getting to sing a solo. The thrill of sharing my love for music is something I will share and hold with me forever. I will be graduating in 5 days with my BMUS focus in Jazz Vocal Performance. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar French Horn
I began teaching as soon as I could. My dad held piano lessons out of our house and inspired me to teach guitar (the only instrument my dad wasn't terribly good at). I also taught trumpet, French horn and piano throughout high school. When I got to college, no one at Berklee really needed lessons in instruments anymore, however, I spent a lot of time tutoring kids in Music Theory, Arranging and other more technical aspects of music.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar
I actually began teaching under my teacher when I was about 14 years of age. Since that time I've worked with young and old and done my best to give them the joys of music that everyone should have at some point. I've been very fortunate to have had a good number of students who have enjoyed great success with music as a profession. I try to impart my wisdom and experience to assist students in achieving their musical goals, whatever they may be. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Ukulele Music Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
My teaching methods are rooted in the balance between technical proficiency and emotional expression, reflecting my own journey and experiences as a guitar player. I craft custom lesson plans for each student, recognizing that everyone's musical journey is unique. For beginning students, I usually start with foundational techniques, ensuring a solid grasp of finger placement, chords, scales, and rhythm. I use a combination of traditional materials and my own specially designed exercises that cater to the individual's interests and musical tastes. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Trumpet Trombone
I am a life long lover of music and have played violin and piano since the age of 5 and began trombone in 5th grade school band. I fell in love with the trombone and love to keep up with my other instruments, I also love to arrange and compose music. I love sharing my love of music with others and watching children blossom into their musical selves is always a great journey. Read More

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I have a very musical family on my dad's side! My grandpa played ragtime piano by ear on my mom's side, my grandpa played jazz trumpet on my dad's side, my aunt on my dad's side plays classical piano, both my uncles teach music on my dad's side, and my cousin and her fiance play a variety of instruments on my dad's side. I still question if music is genetic, but this gives me some hope and insight into whether it is or not!
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I have played a variety of different styles, ranging from country to jazz fusion, to classical, to swing, to rock, but I will always love playing jazz music the most. I have spent most of my time listening to, practicing, composing, arranging, and just absorbing jazz music. I have been eating, sleeping, and breathing it for a long time. However, if I had to say my true favorite, would be playing the synthesizer in the genre of jazz fusion, as I get to play a lot of notes very fast, and I get to 'shred' a lot of the time in this style. It is also the most fun to play for me :)
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I have played piano all of my life, and I really started to take jazz piano seriously when I was about 11. However, when I have also been singing since I was very young as well, and I got very involved in the musicals in middle school, where I discovered I also had a knack for vocals. From there, I joined my high school's vocal jazz ensemble in my senior year of high school when my opportunities for musicals dwindled, and I continued it through college and I have been pursuing group and solo vocal jazz ever since! It is also very useful to be able to play and sing at the same time as well, and it is a very useful skill that I hope to share with my students!
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Practice sessions come in all shapes and sizes, and can all depend on what you need to work on. I have had practice sessions range from 20 minutes all the way to 5 hours, because some things take longer to own than others. For example, 2 bars of music can take me 5-10 minutes to practice, or they can take an hour! It all depends on the piece, the difficulty, and even sometimes how I'm feeling that day! Practicing can be a difficult art form, but it's all about falling in love with the process and finding as many ways as possible to enjoy it! I can't lie and say it's always fun, but when I master something, it makes all that time in the shed more worth it than anything else!
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of winning 3 solo awards and being part of 2 group awards for the Downbeat Student Music Awards. These awards recognize the top jazz musicians in the country ranging from high school to graduate levels of music, and the win a soloist category twice, and being recognized as an outstanding performer prior in the same category is a humbling and profound honor. Nothing makes me more proud to be able to share my music, and to be recognized for it at this capacity is life-changing!
