Ages Taught: 3-61
Course Work: West Chester University , Master Degree: Temple University
I'm a motivated and passionate instructor who loves sharing my love of music with students as well as helping them learn. A lifelong pianist, I have performed since the age of 3. I performed and participated in competitions until high school. My favorite composers to learn were Beethoven and Chopin. In college, I took coursework in Music History, Music Theory, and Composition. Now, I continue to write and perform music solo and with my band. I am also a Licensed Social Worker and Licensed Massage Therapist that is pursuing music full time. I also use Tibetan singing bowls for sound healing.
My teaching experience began in college when I taught private lessons to students. I was a teacher at a preschool for those 6 years so parents that knew me became interested in me teaching their children. In the past few years, I have worked with adult students who have wanted to learn for their own personal interest or to add to their growing list of instruments they already play. I have found that a blend of modern and classical music is a great way to increase a student's technique while keeping them engaged and having fun.
No matter the age, i think it's always important to find out what genres of music the student enjoys. This is because they will most likely stay engaged and develop a passion for pieces they find enjoyable. For beginners, I start with the Michael Aaron Piano Course books. Technique such as finger placement, body mechanics, and scales are interwoven to increase proficiency. For adults, I will ask about their ability level and if other instruments have been played in the past. After fundamentals are taught, then students begin to learn solo repertoires.
I love the piano teachers I had who taught and inspired my love of music, so I want to share that with my studenrs as well. I believe that music not only is helpful or the brain, but for emotional regulation as well. It can be a comfort for the individual and help boost self-esteem by mastering different pieces. I meet the student where they are at and help them grow while having them learn at their own pace. I make sure to find what inspires the student so I can make each lesson unique for every student.

Angelique helped me learn piano to accompany singing for my own music. She was knowledgeable and patient.
