Instruments: Piano
I have been teaching private lessons since 2015, my freshman year in college. During that time, I have had students from a variety of ages, backgrounds, and levels of proficiency. My first teaching influence was my mom, who was a high school orchestra director and continues to teach strings to elementary school students part-time today. I have also been blessed to study with some truly amazing private instructors at IU's tremendous music school, namely Luke Gillespie (jazz piano), Fred Hammond (classical piano), Walter Smith III (improvisation), Steve Houghton (improvisation), and more.

Instruments: Piano Voice
I began teaching private voice and piano lessons in 2008. My students have completed level 1 and 2 NYSSMA festivals. I have a piano student working on piano level 3 this year. Besides teaching private voice and piano lessons, I also teach middle school chorus for the New York City Department of Education. At my school, I also serve as vocal director for the school musical.

Instruments: Piano
I will start with a free assessment of the students level likes and dislikes and then devise a program suited to them. I will use a variety of materials and my own knowledge to guide the student through the rudiments while making the lesson fun and rewarding. I will include sight reading and all that entails, rhythmic and ear training exercises, listening and singing even though this is a piano lesson. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Acoustic Guitar
I'm a fun and upbeat female in my twenties! I enjoy having fun with my students and making them feel comfortable and able to be themselves! I think true improvement is only made when this is accomplished. I am passionate about encouragement, and making sure the student feels confident in their strengths before helping them attack their weaknesses. I like learning about a student's personality and learning style, and cater to their individual needs. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Euphonium French Horn Music
I am passionate about helping all students be inspired to learn at their full potential. I have experience teaching at the elementary, middle, high school, and college level. I am a dedicated trumpet pedagogue with a focus of developing a strong foundation of skills for my students. In lessons with me you will get a balance of technical training as well as exposure to great repertoire at your level. I also spend adequate time working with students to help them understand how their subtle anatomy is helping or getting in the way of their tone quality and breathing. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Clarinet Recorder
Ideally, I prefer to work with younger children because it is at this stage in life that they are most musically receptive; I believe it is important for a budding musician to love their craft and - regardless of age, technical skill can only take one so far in the arts. I have seen far too many musicians abandon their gift for the mundane, due to distorted visions of incompetence and unwarranted deceptions of grandeur. Read More
Instruments: Piano Synthesizer Music Keyboard
My teaching style prioritizes mindset and artistry above all, but my approach is highly student-specific. I pride myself on allowing students to discover and pursue their musical interests while still maintaining a base level of knowledge and skill appropriate to the student's age and experience. In the case of young students who may not be familiar enough with musical material to select pieces, I typically assign listening homework to complete outside of the lesson. Read More

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Have you ever seen the movie Mr. Holland’s Opus? If you haven’t, go find it immediately. That movie is about an educator who touched more lives than he ever could have imagined over the course of 30 years.
I am extremely lucky because I have many Mr. Holland’s Opus teachers in my life.
My favorite voice teacher ever is Richard Poppino. He was my voice teacher, opera director, and department head at OSU. He was the first teacher that made me believe I had a future performing. We still remain great friends and I consider him a wonderful mentor. He is one of many who have propelled me into my career.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I am a firm believer that there is a difference between working hard and working smart.
To practice effectively, you have to be able to identify what needs to most work. After pin pointing that, you put in the most work there. Often this is “the hardest” phrase of the piece and it just needs a little extra love.
Singing a song over and over again does not equal effective practicing.
Skipping out on practicing, while tempting, is also not effective.
My best advice is to have a set practice time and stick to it.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
The best way to tell if your child is ready is if they want to. If they are interested in singing. If they gravitate towards music.
In my own technique, I adjust to what my students need and therefore I will never be overwhelming them with anything they aren’t ready for.
In my own background, I started out with different music lessons in my childhood and didn’t start taking proper voice lessons until my voice was quite developed.
While I got a lot of what I needed from the multiple choirs I was a part of, the main thing I missed out on was repertoire! And having someone one on one to help tailor what I should be singing.
The short answer is that I am a professional singer, no matter, but I did hit roadblocks in my youth that held me behind the competition.
When will I start to see results?
This is not a one size fits all question or answer. Referring back to the question about effective practicing, results can only be found once you’ve put in the effort. However, I’ve had students be instantly surprised immediately if I’ve helped access something they’ve never experienced before. This could be a very simple adjustment or it could be hitting a note they had no idea they had in them.
This is very much dependent on the rapport between teacher and student and the effort and preparation each have brought to the table.
