Where I Teach:
Ages Taught: 10-80
I am a passionate music teacher who loves working with students. I hold a Doctor of Music degree in Guitar performance with a jazz focused music education minor. I have played with opera productions, symphonic orchestras, musical theaters and gave recitals in Europe, Asia and USA. I have extensive experience as a chamber musician and as a solo artist. I love teaching guitar, piano and ukulele. My favorite genres are classical and Jazz. I welcome all students of all ages from all backgrounds!
I have been teaching since 2009 and was an Associate Instructor for the Jacobs School of Music. I love versatile teaching in different genre and styles. My priority is always the student. I feel accomplished if a student comes to our lesson excited and looking for a new piece to learn. I have had students that are now completing their bachelors and masters in Music Performance studies. As an international concert guitarist, I had the chance to perform in various settings and love to talk about music in general!
I like to use various method books since I believe every single one of them provide different pedagogical aspects. Depending on the style, genre that the student wants to learn, I make sure they have enough resources to practice themselves in their own home. For children, I try to keep it as light and fun so they won't burnout over the long journey of learning music. For teenagers and young adults I like to show the possibilities of the instrument and where they can be with persistence and for adults I'd like to guide and help them to find what they like the most and enjoy learning and playing.
I love teaching any style and genre of music and it is a great joy to be able to play with your students for different occasions! I make sure that all my students have the fundamental technical ability and appropriate reading skills. Depending on their age, experience and the style they want to learn, I build personal curricula for each individual that is challenging yet fun. I believe my experience as a professional musician and my training as an academic in the field of music education will cover the needs of any student no matter their capabilities or level of playing.
