Instruments: Piano Voice
I'm a energetic, thought-provoking, and creative voice/piano teacher who loves working with students of all ages and loves to help them grow and develop their technique. Just shy of last year, 2015, I graduated from LIU Post University with a Bachelor of Music degree in Music Education K-12 graduating Magna Cum Laude with a 3.8 average. I've performed in famous venues such as Carnegie Hall multiple times. I've also had the fortune to travel and perform in places such as Bay View, MI, Costa Rica and Ireland. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Music Keyboard Electric Guitar
I have been playing and practicing the drum set consistently since I began in my early adolescence. Over the past decade, I have performed with dozens of ensembles of varying styles from jazz orchestras to rock outfits to more off-kilter projects. I have also joined many profession groups on regional tours, as well asdtracked in studios as a session musician. In 2019, I graduated from Drexel University with a Bachelor degree in Audio Engineering and Music, studying the other half of music that people often find confusing. Read More

He tailors the materials used to the individual student but has most commonly used Alfred piano lesson books, particularly for young students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I am an ambitious, motivated, and passionate instructor and performer who thrives on the ability to inspire my enthusiasm for music and to collaborate with my students in achieving their desired musical aspirations. In 2015, I graduated from Missouri Southern State University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Vocal Performance and in May 2018 I graduated from Westminster Choir College with a Master of Music degree in Vocal Performance and Pedagogy.

Instruments: Piano
For beginners who are children, I usually start with the Alfred Series. This series will determine the capabilities of the student early on. I pay attention to the student's progress and once I feel they can move on to solo repertoire appropriate for recitals, I will move them down that path. For adults, I use the adult books from the Alfred Series, but I also use the UK piano grade system. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Synthesizer
I attribute my passion in music to all of my music teachers in the past. I know how important it is for the instructor to approach every lesson with passion in order to start develop the passion within the student. I believe there is no progress without passion! Along with a focused practicing schedule, I also encourage all my students to devote some time everyday to listen actively, not passively, to music (any artist or genre) for at least 30 minutes a day.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Djembe Acoustic Guitar
For students who are just starting to learn a new instrument, I would start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements method book. As the student progresses and has a good understanding of the fundamentals, I begin to introduce solo repertoire that is appropriate for their skill level. I try to find out what all of my students are interested in, and I adjust my instruction accordingly to make sure that the lessons are always engaging, and fun. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
A little bit of both; in college, I knew I couldn't possibly study anything else. How could I possibly dedicate 4 years of my life to studying some academic major when there's a building of people doing music 24/7 just across campus? When I left college, I initially took a job where I played a lot of music, but was working almost entirely with non-musicians. It's not that I didn't like it, but once the opportunity arose to compose and music direct a play at my alma mater, I remembered how much I loved being in that environment. I moved out to the Philadelphia area and rededicated myself to making music full-time!
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 composition; I had never composed before college, but it was such an amazing practical application of all the theoretical knowledge I had amassed. I also tend to have specific artistic visions for how music should be performed, so creating my own music from start to finish was incredibly gratifying. The more I composed, the better understanding I had for the music I was performing, which in turn made me a better composer again. I love the way composition betters my performance and vice versa!
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love musical theater! It almost feels absurd to call it its own genre, because really, theater is just a venue through which all sorts of different genres can be played. Are we really supposed to call "Hamilton," "Les Miserables," "Rent," and "Pirates of Penzance" all the same genre? There's such incredible diversity, not only in style, but in emotion too. Every time I think I've found my favorite musical, I find another that I love even more, and the best part is that unlike many musical genres, I think the best musical theater composers of all time are alive and writing today.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My dad sang in an a cappella group in college and also arranged music for them; I definitely get my musicality from him. So do both of my brothers! We all sing, we all play piano, and sometimes both my dad's dad and my mom's dad join us; the six of us have a fully functional sextet that we often perform with in church. Some of the most fun I've had has been improvising harmonies to songs we love (or barely know) with my two brothers and my dad around the piano. My dad and I have sang together more than almost anyone else, and every time someone tells me I sound like him, it's one of the best compliments I could get!
