Instruments: Piano
I firmly believe that a love of music, over anything else, should be the driving force behind learning to play an instrument. I therefore try to instill in my students a genuine love of the art. This love then makes him/her want to practice! Practicing (and the entire learning process in general) should be natural, fluid, creative process rather than the heavy burden many young people make it out to be. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I am a working opera and musical theater performer who is passionate about teaching! I graduated in 2011 from Carthage College (Kenosha WI) with a degree in Musical Theater Performance and a minor in Theater, and I went back to school for my Masters in Vocal performance at Bowling Green State University where I had lots of great performance opportunities as well as valuable teaching experiences. I have performed internationally with programs abroad in Italy and Germany. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Clarinet Keyboard
My teaching style is both rigorous and positive. I believe that the best way to learn any skill is through hard work and persistence in a judgement-free, positive psychological environment. I work in a routine every lesson so that students understand the next step in the process. I make accommodations for each student depending on their personal goals, needs, and learning styles. No two students are the same, so no two lessons should be the same. Read More

I have experience teaching on both a private lesson and public school environment. I started to teach private lessons shortly after my undergrad career and during my grad school career. During my grad school program I had the opportunity to teach both at a elementary and high school level in General Music and in Strings. I during these placements in the public school I wrote out lessons plans and taught music theory and instruments to the students. Read More

As someone with diverse training with multiple instruments and styles, I am very determined to teaching my students and having them become the best they can be at their instrument. I am firm, but patient and understand that practicing the right way is more important than practicing frequently. I am able to work as slow or fast as a student needs; it all depends on their comfortable pace. When my students accomplish their goals, whether it be learning a piece, perfecting a new technique, or gaining experience performing live, it will be incredibly rewarding for both of us. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Get the right set-up for you. Whether you prefer to concentrate in a quiet practice room, or somewhere with more stimulation, try to be consistent with your choice - this will help you enter the right mindset when you begin to practice.
Just playing through your music isn’t the same as practicing. Start with the end in mind - by having a goal for each practice session before you start playing, you will find your progress much more quickly and effectively. Then, break each goal down into smaller, focused objectives. You will also feel a sense of accomplishment as you complete each goal.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
For many kids, just having access to musical instruments piques their interest. Do you have a piano in your house, or know someone who does? Does your child sit at the piano and bang on the keys to make "beautiful" music? Does your elder child have a drum set that your youngest is obsessed with? Perhaps hiring a private tutor or looking into local lessons are in order. You'll find out pretty quickly how interested they are in music based on how they react to practice and lesson time.f you do decide to take the formal lesson route, it is important to set ground rules with your child about lesson and practice time
When will I start to see results?
Most people just want to know how long it will take until they feel fairly competent if placed in front of a piano. This is where we really need to define what “fairly competent” means to you.
I would say on average a child that started from a young age that was consistent in practicing well and often, would likely be able to start this type of music by high school. So let’s estimate about 10 years. Pianists that begin as adults will likely take longer. Part of the reason could be just because it is harder to be a consistent practice. The other, less popular reason, is that children just are able to learn faster. It’s sad but true. Missing out on those early years of practicing does make a difference.
The 10 years I mention can be much shorter, that’s why you see 7-year-old piano prodigies. Prodigies like this are not as magical as you may think. If you start when you’re 2 and your parent teaches you daily, you can reach that level is often half the time.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
When I was in high school, Band teacher encouraged me to always practice and gave me confidence that I could do well. The teacher comforted me when I was tired and allowed me to practice again. When I was worried about going to college, I helped me to go to the school that was most suitable for me.
She was not only supportive but always told me that I would do great things one day. She would teach us that no matter what job we chose, we could make a difference. It takes hard work and a positive attitude. She was such an inspiration.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I started learning piano at the age of six and liked music. Later I heard the sound of the trumpet coming from the radio, and I was impressed by the sound of a beautiful melodious instrument. So I decided to learn the trumpet and began to work on it, so I practiced hard and got into university as a major music performance. After graduation, I studied master and taught many plays and teaching.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Yes. My Trumpet students have got into of regional audition every year even the 1st pace and they have good experience of having a good bergen regional orchestra concert. it makes them have more encouraging, confidently enjoy and love music more. Also, some of my students won awards of the east coast competition and New York Artist International Competition and Winners' recital was at Weill recital hall at Carnegie Hall. I was so proud of my students because they were really practicing hard with the patient even sometimes tired.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I use Alfred piano series books. lesson, solo, theory and technic book, it also dives into intervallic reading, as described above. Many true, albeit arranged, baroque, romantic, and classical piano pieces are featured without a lot of fluff and fanfare. This may be an ideal method for more serious, self-motivated students. The Alfred method is featured in a variety of books, including an all-in-one piano course for children, a prep course, and a basic piano library, completely correlated and presented in progressive levels.
