M.Ed, Barry University, Educational Leadership BS, Florida A&M University, Music Education Professional Teaching Certificate - Music K-12, June 2012 - July 2017
I have been playing piano for 28 years, providing private lessons for 12 years and teaching music in the classroom for 10 years. I have been performing for the past 20 years.
I started taking lessons when I was 5, was accepted into and attended a brand new middle school of the arts for my 6th-8th grade years, and was accepted into and attended an award winning, Grammy nominated high school of the arts. After graduation of high school, I went on to study music in college. Now I teach and accompany instrumental students for competitions.
I use a very easy to read and understand series of books for my beginners: Bastien Piano Basics Piano, Performance, Technic, and Theory Books. Once students matriculate through these books (series 1 and 2), I switch to John Thompson's books.
My only expectation is that my students try. If they are showing a geniuine effort to learn, both the student and I will enjoy the lesson. I tailor my lessons to that specific student.
