Instruments: Voice
I've been teaching public school for 19 years, all but the first two spent in 9th grade. I've also had many years of experience as an adult church choir director. The huge majority of my singers along the way would probably tell you that I made them very comfortable. Tension is the singer's worst enemy. Tension is caused by fear, by uncertainty in one's ability, or by faulty technique. A great singer makes singing seem easy. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Clarinet Euphonium Tuba
Being a music teacher means much more to me than teaching students how to play the notes written on the musical page. As a music educator, my main goal is to offer my students endless musical experiences that are both positive and meaningful to their own personal development. I am also responsible for teaching my students how to see, think, recognize, and hear as musician, and to understand the importance of being musically literate. Read More
Instruments: Voice Trumpet Drums
For the past 13 years I've been teaching private lessons in my studio as well as at students homes. I encourage regular practice on a consistent schedule especially for younger students, as it tends to help them progress and gain a passion for the instrument. In my school-aged students, I implement the NYS Common Core curriculum into lessons to ensure they are in alignment with learning vocabulary as well as critical thinking of music. Read More
Instruments: Voice
A warm up I use to take care of this issue is asking the student to make a fire siren noise and I go up an octave (ex. do-do, re-re,mi-mi). In an adult I will ask the student to yawn (lifting the soft palate) and sigh at the same time. This is a very simple correction to make in students of all ages. The important thing is to create a nurturing environment in which a student will best understand what I am teaching them. Read More
Instruments: Voice
The pedegogy I teach is called Mix- True Belcanto. The beauty of this technique is the it puts the vocal registers in perfect balance allowing the singer to apply it to any type of music they wish to sing and not have to be limited. Read More
Instruments: Voice Violin Electric Violin Music
I started teaching about 3 years ago, and have been consistently going to various students' homes for lessons, voice and violin alike. I have worked with all ages, from 5 years old to over 60 years old. Making sure my students constantly practice is definitely one of my key points I focus on. I push them to take on challenges they thought might not have been possible for them to achieve. I love to see their growth, week after week. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Cello Viola Bass Guitar Synthesizer Double Bass Music Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
I am passionate about all facets of music and music education. I am motivated by my students, learning from them how best to instruct them and act as a guide through the universe of music. I am from a family of musicians having grown up in the culture of musical performance on both my mother and fathers side. I graduated from SUNY Empire State with a Bachelors in Music Performance with a concentration in Bass and Piano. Read More
Instruments: Voice
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Controlling your breathing and relieving unwanted tension
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
For me I try to practice between 45min to an hour every day. I start with warming up for 20-30min, working on specific technical challenges I might have. then I look at the Rep I have been working on and try to place what I've been learning in my own lessons to those pieces. Knowing that a song is never finished being worked on, no matter how well you think you know it.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
Music Performance both Bachelors and Masters, as well as Advance Certificate in Vocal Pedagogy. I wanted to learn the ins and outs of performing, the science behind performing and singing, and how to better myself and do something I love.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I believe I would be a therapist. I've always wanted to help people achieve goals, have someone to listen to them and give them advice.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Oh yes, my parents both were in choir and theatre in high school, both sang in church choir. My papaw played the organ for my church and sang in the choir until he passed away at 87. My grandfather has been singing and performing for my church for years. My sister played the flute and violin and also sings and acts, went to school for music business. My brother played the trombone and was in marching band. All my cousins did theatre and music. It just flowed through my family. Both for hobbies and careers
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Being picked to be a participant in an Italian study abroad program. I learned so much in three weeks and changed as a performer and person.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Singing was something I always did and being on stage. I was always putting on shows at my house, being the center of attention and wanting people to look at me. And when I started to really sing, I felt like I was me, I was complete.
When will I start to see results?
Results aren't a specific time length. Little things happen within time but greater things happen when you stop waiting for results and just move with your love for music. The best thing music lessons can teach you is hard and dedication to something that brings Joy to your life.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If you child can sit through a one on one lesson for at least thirty minutes, sings all the time, excited to learn how to expand their voice and technique, expand their musical knowledge and comes alive when they sing.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Start simple. Do a warm up before bed, Look at your music when taking a break from work or homework. Make it fun.
