I am a passionate music instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music. In 2004 I graduated from University of East Sarajevo, Music Academy with Bachelor in Arts degree in Accordion and Piano Performance. Performing all over the world has been one of the greater experiences of my life as musician and professor. I teach for over 17 years. I have been a judge in accordion competitions worldwide most notably the 62nd Accordion Trophy Mondiale, World Accordion Championship, held in Spokane, WA and the 66th Coupe Mondiale World Accordion Championship, held in Victoria BC, Canada.

When students are being lazy I call them out on it by saying something like, "What is that?" It shakes them up and makes them realize I catch every mistake. It's done in a lighthearted way so that the students feel comfortable with me as I do not want to drive away students who fear their teacher. Comfort and discipline are imperative to help them achieve their goals. If a student feels comfortable with their instrument they are more willing to practice and achieve a higher goal of performance. Read More
Instruments: Piano Organ
It is extremely important that lessons are relaxed and fun. The student needs to work in a supportive and safe environment which encourages risk-taking and exploration. Praise and positive reinforcement are essential. I like students to explore their creative sides through composition and improvisation. I introduce chords and harmony and have students develop their own arrangements of pieces studied, This gives them a sense of empowerment and discovery. Students develop positive self-images and this makes the lesson process all that more enjoyable. Read More
Instruments: Piano Organ Synthesizer Accordion Keyboard
I grew up in the West Indies. This explains my easy -going, "no problem" attitude. I have performed as a piano soloist at various venues around the world ( churches,hotels, cruiseships, concert halls ) Despite having had classical piano training via Trinity College of Music and the Royal Schools of Music at an early age, I have always appreciated music of every genre. So as a child I took the responsibility of learning to play other styles on my own. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Ukulele
Lately I've been teaching my little brother piano playing on the side when I go over to my parent's house, he is really enthusiastic about playing for me and asks many questions while aptly listening to me. I also help out a couple of my friends that either used to play the piano or are just interested in the instrument and need a primer to get them going. I really enjoy when I can make others passionate about something I love by my example and that is why teaching is so wonderful. Read More
Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
The most rewarding thing to see is a student play their first full song and realize they did it with ease. My teaching style is why my students do well - it's because I tailor the lesson to each individual student. I want students to feel progress with each lesson. I truly never want to leave a lesson without seeing a student progress. My style is laid-back and incorporates multiple different tips that have proven effective in teaching new piano players.

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
Mostly gradually from the time I was 16 when I auditioned for my first organ position. It was so cool. The priest was the first who encouraged me to continue and make time to practice after school and he would take me home. I could stay for supper with them but I didn't have to. I loved the attention and love they gave me so I usually stayed then he drove my home.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I did select another instrument, cornet because I had the correct lips and jaw for that instrument, Dr. Centrone was the band leader at school and I love at the precision of the marching band. I loved being in the band/
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
In my mother's side of the family. Mostly piano and singing. I was the only one who was in the band. I was not encouraged to play and sing with them too much as it was their family who sang and played following our holiday meals. I listened and I must say clowned around. Mostly cause I was jealous and mad they didn't include me.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite genre is probably classical. I find all of the classic giants very predictable however, solid in their goals and objectives. I used to listen to the instrumentation and the orchestration and loved that part of the writing. I never liked individual melody writing but I could always suggest instruments that would feature the melody.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I have no idea because from the time I was being potty trained my Mom tells the story that I sang all the while I was being trained. And when I went to school, I just wanted to sing and hear the piano accompaniment. I don't ever remember thinking of any other occupation. It was always music.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
The Moonlight Sonata and I have it close to performance ready. I love the ebb and flow of the dynamics and the low sounding melody with accompaniment even lower.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My degree is in Music Education. I didn't select performance cause that isn't my area of expertise. I like the "nuts and bolts" of the piece making it more of an educational excercise.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I warm up on scales and a few Hanon exercises, Then I isolate the most difficult passages and practice those before putting the entire piece together. I am usually at the piano or organ for 2-3 hours.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I usually select the method due to a childhood reason, For instance one student because they like to color, some like the duets, some like the melodic songs so each will vary by student. It helps me to stay alert, stay fresh, and I like variety.
