I will start my beginner piano lessons with "Teaching Little Fingers to Play" "John Thompson's Easiest Piano Course Part I." Basic music theory such as determining lines spaces (Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge F.A.C.E) and basic 1-5 fingering patterns. Depending on the level of the beginner, we could practice "Hot Cross Buns," "Mary Had a Little Lamb" "Happy Birthday" or "Ode to Joy." I will assess students based on knowledge of music theory and muscle memory/ability to play. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Flute Clarinet
When I was in middle school I developed a strong passion for music performance and teaching. I went to a performing arts high school called The Dreyfoos School of the Arts in West Palm Beach Florida where I excelled in perforance on clarinet and saxophone. Knowing that I wanted to major in music the performing arts high school helped me very much. I attended The Longy School of Music in Cambridge, MA, The Boston Conservatory in Boston, MA, and Boston University in Boston, MA. Read More

I am first and foremost a student. I love being a student and love being open to new forms of music and anything to better my education. In May of 2017 I graduated from the Boston Conservatory at Berklee with a Bachelor's degree in Vocal Performance. Performance has taught me multiple languages, taken me around the U.S. and parts of Europe, working with the top musicians in the world. Since graduation I have been working on my own artistry and getting back to my roots as a singer song writer. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to my high school days when I began teaching private lessons to members of my church. I continued teaching through college and am currently looking for new students. I have worked with students from ages 4 to 18. My students are encouraged to enter competitions and recitals, as well as work on composing their own original material, so they can feel good about their accomplishments and stay motivated to learn.

Instruments: Piano Voice
For piano- I teach out of several method books- Faber, Bastein, John Thompson and Alfred's. I also implement Dozen a Day for piano technique and Hanon and scales. I use Czerny for the intermediate student. For voice- I work to build a solid understanding of breath, posture, vowel sounds and shapes, singing legato, etc. I believe a classical technique in both instruments is the best foundation for growth into any style.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar French Horn
I find that it drives the student to learn the instrument for himself. And as the student wants, more and more, to prove that he can "beat the instrument," he begins to work at it in ways that I can't teach. Learning an instrument is more than showing up for one hour each week. Practice is everything. I feel that my methodology encourages students to take on the instrument head on and learn how to solve problems on their own so that they can practice and improve more quickly. 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).
