Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
My method is very personalized to the student. For piano, I love using the Faber Piano Adventure series for both little ones through adult. They do an excellent job formatting their age-appropriate materials to students and get them playing and learning to read music early on in the learning. For voice, I devise my own warm up exercises that tailor to the needs of the student. Breath, diction, resonance, body posture, and tension are among some of the technical priorities I have when teaching voice. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I am first and foremost a student. I love being a student and love being open to new forms of music and anything to better my education. In May of 2017 I graduated from the Boston Conservatory at Berklee with a Bachelor's degree in Vocal Performance. Performance has taught me multiple languages, taken me around the U.S. and parts of Europe, working with the top musicians in the world. Since graduation I have been working on my own artistry and getting back to my roots as a singer song writer. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Organ Music Keyboard
To help students become familiar with rhythms, I occasionally use clapping exercises and even collaborate with them to create a song together. When I teach music, I make sure to emphasize sustainability. It's important to me that my students understand how to take care of their instruments, use resources efficiently, and appreciate the natural world that inspires music. By teaching sustainability along with music, I hope to help my students become responsible and caring individuals who can make a positive impact on the world Read More

If you wish to educate, you must inspire first. Each student is encouraged to proceed at a pace that is suited to their aptitude, goals, schedule and drive. Positive acknowlegement of achievements, clear communication and demonstration of techniques, opportunities to play with others at a similar level of growth and an atmosphere of musical community are key to the progress of my students. To inspire, instruct, and enjoy music is the mesaage the teacher should be imparting to the student. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I strive to have each student grow their passion and love for music. To remain curious and fearless in trying new things. I enjoy working with students to set goals such as - performing in a recital, auditioning for a production or competition, for singing and playing music they never thought they would be able to. I create a friendly judgment free learning environment. I do expect a student to be committed to their lessons and practice, but build this with care and compassion. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
My teaching experience has began more recently, but I am a teacher who has had the opportunity to be in school learning new things, while being able to also pass down my discoveries with students. I've also found that a combination of classical, modern, and jazz music can go a long way in helping students enjoy their musical experiences. It's important to make sure my students are staying motivated and always learning more than one genre. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Clarinet Organ Euphonium French Horn Tuba Music Keyboard
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More
Instruments: Voice Saxophone Flute Clarinet Recorder
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The sax and clarinet use a single reed mouth piece and when you are learning or haven't played for a while, your jaw can become very sore from gripping the mouthpiece. As for the flute, you need to learn how to blow air across the mouthpiece, not in it. This uses a lot of air and can make you light headed. It all takes time for your body to adjust.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I've been singing since I could talk, maybe before :) I knew that I wanted to play the flute in either the 2nd or 3rd grade when the high school band came to the elementary school and did a demonstration. I don't really know why, it just beckoned to me. I played recorder, fell in love, and jumped at the flute first chance I got in 5th grade.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
If you are a beginner, I suggest setting up 15-30 minute Daily practicing blocks. If you are a
N intermediate to advanced performer, then use time management skills to work out longer daily blocks, or multiple short daily blocks. Find a comfortable and secluded place to practice so to not be distracted and /or not bother others.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Children may express a desire to make music at a young age. You may be able to determine your child's commitment to their request by observing their desire to sing or tap along with music, if they pick up a toy instrument and actually get decent sound out of it. Young children can begin to be interested in more than Old Mac Donald's Farm, and want to sing or play an instrument. Be aware of their fine motor skill developlet, and not strains third voice when they singing.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I wasn't allowed to play the flute in jazz band (ya, I know- just silly) so the only available free instrument to pick up was an old tenor sax used in marching band that everyone called "The Swingy-Neck" because the screw to hold the neck was rusted, so the neck could go in, but not tighten into place. Half the time it swung away when you went to put the mouth piece in your mouth. So, I learned to play tenor and how to let go of being stuck to the notes on the page and improvise. Now I really know what it means to "play it by ear". I picked up the clarinet in order to broaden my music lessons. It's a lot easier to teach clarinet with a clarinet than transposing to flute. That is a nightmare!!!
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My father plays the accordion and can sing. My mother was a good singer. Most of my love of music comes from them. I am blessed to have had parents who liked such a wide range of music.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I've always loved to perform and have had some interesting experiences along the way. I have a friend and former neighbor who would hire me to play the flute at her art gallery openings back when I was in high school. I also performed on stage at gala events along side famous actors and musicians back in the early 90's as a teen. Since then I've played a variety of gigs from playing classical flute music, singing in choirs, playing in concert bands, and accompanying and singing in church, Christian and rock n' roll gigs. The journey is hardly done.
