Instruments: Piano
Music is a powerful tool for personal growth, influencing emotional resilience and intellectual development. I inspire my students to question, analyze, and apply their knowledge of music to the world around them. Whether lessons are online or in person, I encourage public performances, even informal ones for family and friends, as these experiences build confidence and provide a sense of accomplishment. Above all, I believe that music has the power to bring profound joy, connect people emotionally, and uplift their spirits. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Violin
In college, I taught a handful of beginning violin students. Throughout college and my years post grad, Ive taught private and group dance lessons and focus on technique and confidence. I apply the same concepts to my music lessons and love helping students discover their personal voice. I encourage regular practice and personal compositions. Every student is different and I am hopeful to find the system that works for each one. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Acoustic Guitar
For my students, I like to see what type of music they are interested in and listen to a few of their favorite songs. From there we can learn chords (guitar, piano) and melodies for vocal lines. We could go the route of learning scales and theory, but since I didn't grow up learning that way, I'd prefer to go the more modern way by learning strumming patterns, chords, inversions, melodies and harmonies, and teach dynamics to make a song come together.

Instruments: Piano Voice
I think it's important for students to learn interpretation and musicality as much as technique, regardless of their instrument. For piano, I typically start with Hannon's piano exercises, and then move on to repertoire which highlights specific technical challenges, such as crossed hands or mixed meter. In the repertoire is where I also make sure to talk about common interpretation practices, as well as techniques for how to characterize a piece of music. Read More

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would not chose any other profession than a musician. Music is my life, music runs through my veins and I am lifeless without it. It inspires me, it motivates me, it makes me feel things i've never felt before. Without music I don't know where I would be. I am still learning things about music that I never knew before. To be a musician is to be a lifelong learner. I guess if I had to choose something other than music I'd probably choose to be a professional surfer or a doctor because the medical field and surfing are two other interests of mine.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose the guitar because I wanted to learn the music that I was listening to, then in high school my friends played the guitar and we would sit around in the basement and play Nirvana, The Beatles and classical rock music. My favorite musicians played the guitar and I wanted to be like them and play like them. This inspired me and motivated me. By learning songs that I liked and listened to, It made me want to learn even more. I could play anything I wanted to play on the guitar. This made me want to learn other instruments.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child shows an interest, a passion and a talent for music then they are ready to start lessons. It matters because your child wants to learn about music at this point. This will motive a child to practice, and practice is the most important thing to your child succeeding in their musical studies. If your child shows no interest or passion, then they will not practice because they ultimately do not want to learn. Motivation is important in how a child learns and applies what they have learned.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing is essential to applying the things a student has learned. Without practice it would not be wise to move on to the next lesson. If a student wants to improve in their skills, posture, and mental knowledge of music, practicing is even more important than the lesson. It is important that a student stays motivated to practice, and practices everyday, even if it is 15 minutes per day. This will make a huge difference in how a student progresses. Effective practice takes applying each lesson every day.
