Instruments: Piano Voice
I know I'm doing my job when my student is growing not only in their abilities, but in their love of music! Ensuring that each student is learning repertoire that they enjoy at a pace that suits them is central to my teaching style. I love to find each student's strengths and celebrate them, as well as targeting goals for improvement in a warm, safe setting. I believe that music is meant to bring joy and healing to people, whether you are listening to it or making it. Read More

I am a driven and passionate educator with a background in youth arts mentorship for voice, piano, and dance. I position my work as an arts professional to motivate students through pursuit of excellence, to transfer practical skills, and to achieve lasting impact. I graduated from New York University in 2020 with a BA in Music, and a minor in French Language Studies. I have had the opportunity to provide musical and artistic direction for groups and soloists at the high school and college level, with the Anaheim Union High School District and NYU. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Drums Recorder
From Newbreed to Chapin to Afro-Cuban Rhythm for drum set, there are many methods that are worth exploring. That being said, sometimes learning songs (covers) can be the best way to learn quickly and it can be a lot of fun. Something I've done many times too is writing precise exercises for students in order to address and target specific needs. Let's say a student has difficulty with his ghost notes on his/her left hand, I can easily come up with fun exercises in order to speed up the progress and get improvements for that student.

I specialize in the Suzuki Piano Method, and have received teacher training in the method through the Suzuki Assoc. of the Americas. I am comfortable teaching all ages, including preschool. I believe that every child is able to learn to play the piano with the appropriate method and good parental involvement. Read More

My journey into the intricate world of audio over the past five years has been deeply rooted in passion. Freelance roles in renowned recording studios such as CSR, FTM, and CU Denvers Core have allowed me to manifest this passion as a producer and technician. I've translated this fervor into being an Audio Engineer for an array of artists including The Pace Makers, Summer Bedhead, Keddjra, Sara Flows, Totem Pocket, Moon Maze, Katie Yeager, Nicki Walters, Diego Frenkel, Fede Flaviano, Mak Dooley, and Alison Tas.

Instruments: Trumpet Saxophone Flute Clarinet
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Beginner players will use the Premier Performance book by Ed Sueta. This book is used by most band programs and it will help each student with the basic music fundamentals to help them succeed in the process. Intermediate Players will use the Smith-Yoder-Bachman Band Method book. This book allows intermediate players to explore more on their horns and to play around with alternate fingering patterns. Advance Players will play from the Lazarus method book. This book will prepare for recitals and college level experiences.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I have had several students make the all west honors band. My students are very aware on how important it is to practice once they leave and go home. They all succeed in the process through following the instructions to improve over time. A good performance and lessons will always lead to success later on in life. Everything pays off in the long-run because teachers work hard to make sure their students are learning everything that is needed to move on to the next level. Some of my students I work with privately are section leaders of their band programs.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on the clarinet is when its time to cross the bridge. This is the time that the student is ready to play in a different octave on their instrument and have to learn how to cross from one octave to the next octave. In order to accomplish this goal, the student have to work hard to make it happen and with the help of the teacher the student will cross the bridge. This technique is a struggle, but with great practice, motivation, and determination it will prosper overtime.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Learning how to play the clarinet was one of the most amazing accomplishments in my life. At times it became very hard and I wanted to give up, but as I continue to face my obstacles I begin to overcome them through my music. I am also proud of being a teacher and being able to teach students how to do the exact same thing I did when I was their age. Traveling from different cities and states being able to do what I love is another accomplishment that makes me smile. Remember things that you have a passion for will always be an accomplishment that will make a person proud.
