Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
I began teaching over 20 years ago with a focus on early childhood and beginning piano lessons. I have had great success working with young students by providing a variety of activities each lesson and making sure that learning music is a joyful experience. Music theory, ear training, flash cards and rhythm exercises with percussion instruments are just a few examples of lesson activities that are included in addition to the core elements of proper technique and music literacy.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I start of my lessons by asking how much the student practiced for the week. Then I ask them if there was anything that was confusing for them so we can work on that first. I let the student pick what they want to start with first and then I will pick the next exercise. I finish with giving them a homework assignment and making sure they understand what to practice for next week. Read More

For beginning piano students I like to start with Mona Rejinos Essential Elements Piano Theory - Level 1 then once they have learned the basics Ill find out whatever the student is interested in and then tailor my lessons towards that. With people who know a little Ill try to find out what they are interested I then tailor my lessons towards that. With beginning voice students Ill start with Andres Andrade Absolute Beginners Voice.

Instruments: Piano Voice Music
For young piano students I'm a fan of John Thompson method books. I get the student through beginners and then through at least the Grade 1 book. Then I introduce beginner piano literature books to help the student see a real music book. I work on music theory and how to map out a piece of music to learn it better. We start talking about musical style as well. For adults I use basically the same method but usually start with the Alfred all-in-one book. Read More

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I am the only musician in my family. My parents both played in their school band but never pursued music beyond.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I always knew.
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 performance and composition. I love to perform and find it to be quite challenging; I love a challenge. I also love to express my creativity through composition.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I would love to perform my own compositions in concert. As much as I love performing Beethoven and Chopin, I want to create my own works to share with others.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I weren't a musician, I'd spend all of my time with art. For the past few years, I have been working with metal and kinetic sculpture.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My passion has always been classical piano. In the recent years, I have fallen in love with arranging and teaching pop, rock and metal for piano.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started playing flute in college for some experience with another instrument.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I used to use Alfred, Bastien, Piano Adventures and several others. I still occasionally use songs from those books. However, I have developed my own style of teaching using songs that the student likes as course material. I arrange it myself.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
When I practice, I start with drills and exercises to get my fingers moving. If I'm deeply immersed into learning a piece, I concentrate on a section and loop it until it becomes easy and/or memorized.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
There are so many levels in piano. If we are speaking about advanced playing, the hardest thing to master is fluidity in the musical lines so that it is expressive.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
For several years I had trained students for competition. Most of them had taken awards in their age category and a few of them have placed 1st in advanced categories.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I really love the complexity and expression of a piano.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I have one numerous awards in college, performed solo recitals, accompanied an orchestra, created hundreds of piano tutorials on YouTube and can arrange any music to be suitable on piano.
When will I start to see results?
You will see results in the first lesson.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Every piano teacher I had was a true inspiration for me. I have loved classical music so much growing up that everything that I learned from one of my piano teachers has been influential in my life.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Your child is ready for lessons when they express an interest in learning and are able to follow along to a teacher. It also helps if they are old enough to read. Their enthusiasm and ability to focus is key.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I find my practice most effective when I pick a section (whether 2 measures, 8 measures or a page and loop it around many times).
