Instruments: Piano Music
Ive been also teaching piano for 8 years privately and at music academies to students from young children to adults at beginning to advanced levels. Working with different individuals always expands my way of teaching and my perspectives on how to share and teach. It's an ever-lasting renewing game. Ive been learning a lot from my students by exchanging my perspectives musically and practically with them who all hold different perspectives and different passions and goals, and I am grateful for that.

I want all my students to succeed. It is important to me that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realist goals for my students at each lesson. I try to find out what inspires my students, then I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I strive to have each student grow their passion and love for music. To remain curious and fearless in trying new things. I enjoy working with students to set goals such as - performing in a recital, auditioning for a production or competition, for singing and playing music they never thought they would be able to. I create a friendly judgment free learning environment. I do expect a student to be committed to their lessons and practice, but build this with care and compassion. Read More

Instruments: Piano Saxophone
Each student learns at his or her own pace, and as a result I dislike forcing all students into the same step-by-step regimen. I find that laying out preplanned expectations and milestones at the outset is often more for the teachers benefit than the students. Individualizing lesson plans and progress trajectories is much more work on my end, but I find the result much more rewarding for both instructor and student. 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!
