I provide a structured yet stress-free environment when teaching. I custom make the lesson plans to meet the need of each student, and I play or sing each assignment, then have the student go through everything once before doing it at home. I am also available by phone if a student needs to contact me regarding a problem with their lesson at home. I also include in each lesson music computer time which works on their ear-training, music history and other theory as needed. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Euphonium Tuba Music Keyboard
I want my students to find enjoyment and purpose from making music first and foremost. Every student has a unique set of skills, and not every student learns the same way. I believe that something valuable can be learned from any single piece of music. Etude books, like Voxman's Selected Studies, and Rochut's Melodious Etudes are my go to for daily practice, but are not the only option available. I like to take a pragmatic approach to teaching, and will modify any exercises and routines as needed to get the best result from each student. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Always have a pencil and don't be afraid to mark up your music! It doesn't make you dumb if you have to remind yourself that a certain note is flat or sharp. If you need to write in the counting - go for it! - it will only mean less mistakes being ingrained in your muscle memory. Especially at the piano - write in any finger number you need! Experiment and don't mind erasing previous work if you later come across a better way to finger a passage...but write what you have in the moment down so you don't forget. Marking up the music not only saves loads of time by not having to repeat certain steps in the learning process, but it also helps your brain solidify positive connections!
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Rhapsody in Blue with the orchestral accompaniment. I heard it for the first time in Fantasia 2000 when I was little and fell in love with it back then. Once I was in high school I came across the piece again and bought the music. Then in college I made sure as many of my theory assignments or history assignments could focus on that piece. I have always loved jazz, but have kept mostly to the classical world in my practice. Rhapsody in Blue invokes an emotion that is so relatable - which is sometimes difficult for me to do with classical music.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
1. warm-up for about 20 minutes (long-tones, scales (all modes), arpeggios, thirds, tonguing rhythms) with a tuner (for flute) with a metronome (for flute and piano).
2. Sight-read (I try to rotate between easy - intermediate - advanced) 5 min
3. Wood-shed (find the hardest passages I'm working on practice slowly, fix bugs, experiment, google info on the piece to see if there are any suggestions, listen to recordings, sing them) the 2-3 hardest passages in my repertoire. 45-60 minutes
4. Context practice: play longer sections of passages I had worked on in my last practice session. 30 min
Note: this level of detail and continuity requires me to mark up my scores and keep a journal (on my phone) so I know what I've practice when. I also don't do this all in one sitting. Sometimes I do, but more often than not I warm-up and sightread then take a break - maybe practice piano or read, or clean, etc.) then do the wood-shed practice and take another break before going into context practice. If I'm crunched for time I warm-up and do as much wood-shedding as I can.
