Music is a very physical thing as well as a very abstract thing. In my lessons, there will be kennistetic learning through movement as well as teaching through sensation. Using tools like Solfege it helps create muscle memory and tuning. Piano students will learn a wealth of theory knowledge, correct posture and fingering patterns. I will also encourage singing in my piano lessons to reaffirm the student's aural skills. The Alexander Technique is also something that my students will explore in our lessons. Read More

The methods I choose fora studentwill be individualized based on wherethat student is and wherethe studentwould like to go. I will select different methods for different kinds of learners.

We will also begin by discussing long term goals and setting clear short term goals in ear-training, sight-reading, performance as well as theory and composition.The keyboard is a great place to learnmusical fundamentals, especially for beginners because it is so easy to visualizeintervals and patterns.

With each new student, I assess their abilities and goals. From this information, I will make a decision reagrding which method I will use to teach the students their instrument.

I have been teaching since 2016 and currently have several students who have been taking lessons with me for years. Read More

For beginner students who are children I would begin with Gregory Blankenbehler's Singing Lessons for Little Children so the child gets a grasp on fundamentals before continuing onto solo music. For adults, it would depend on their music level, their ability, and what they are passionate about. Read More

Regardless of age, studying and making music gives us cognitive, physiological, emotional and behavioral benefits. It is an effective tool for keeping our brain young and sharp, and out heart happy!

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I play Jazz, Rhythm and Blues, and Popular Music. I have no particular piece in any of these genres that is a preference.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would be in a Mental Health or a Therapy Career had I not chose to study Music.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
BeBop is my favorite style. My earliest recollection of Music falls in that genre.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
As a Woodwind Instrument Player, it came quite naturally to delve into the other woods as a double and also to ensure gainful employment as an Instrumentalist capable of playing more than one instrument in the Woodwind Family.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
YES. It is my older siblings and relatives who garnered a lot of notoriety in the Field.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I was 14 years of age when I made my first monies playing Music. It was at that time that I knew it was something I could do successfully
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
After the warm-up, I will review material covered before beginning to focus on issues that present as difficult.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My Education is what I'm most proud of. My ability to pick up concepts quickly has taken me a long way also.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I am uncertsin as to the accomplishments of my students due to the fact that I have relocated and lost contact with them.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Yes, I will use whatever is appropriate. I don't teach by rote only. Most of my lessons come from a Methodology Approach, or two.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
Both Degrees are in Music Education. I choose Education to ensure proficiency in Teaching.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I've spent a lot of time learning to approach my primary instrument from various approaches genre-wise; that is to say playing various styles of Music effectively.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I always wanted my first instrument; it seems even before I started Music lessons. Maybe it was because of something I saw, or something I heard. I was very young. But when asked what instrument I wanted to play, I got it.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My first teacher was my Sister. She inspired me greatly and lead by example. After her, my HS Music Teacher became a mentoring friend
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice at a slow tempo. Slow enough to maintain a steady flow to the piece. Once you are familiar with the notes, you can speed up to the necessary beats per minute. Practice everyday if not but for 10-15mins
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If the child has a propensity for Music in any way, lessons can commence.
Observe the child’s keen interest.
When will I start to see results?
You will see results immediately in how the instrument is approached, the care and maintenance of it, as well an appreciation for it, the enthusiasm of the child.
