Instruments: Voice
I am a focused instructor and pursue progress. I come from a background of a love for music that turned into a desire to learn and perform. I owe everything I have become to my instructors, and I try to implement some of their technique into my teaching every chance I get. I have just recently graduated from a three-year master's program in voice performance. Since I've started that program, I have had the opportunity to travel Europe with a vocal ensemble, perform three times at the Grove Park Inn, act as diction coach for a professional opera chorus, and perform Mozart's Requiem.

Instruments: Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I teach harmony, rhythm, technique, melody, and basic sight reading by a two fold approach. First is to really feel into the music. This means learning to listen deeply with curiosity, intention, respect, and joy bringing the meaning of play into every aspect of learning. The second part is to begin with the basics of music theory by grounding fully into the fundamentals. Learning to work in forms that may seem like an alien language at first but when systematically approached with patience, dedication, and a spirit of playfulness and fun will open up and begin to reveal paths into learning and understanding that will greatly increase ones ability to engage in all musical forms.

Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Viola Keyboard
N.J. We were part of a special collaboration between Rutgers University and the arts school. Outer specialized program was called, " Soweto" due to our team collaboration in Johannisburg, South Africa. I also worked there for numerous years as a substitute violin instructor for Doctor Younoski. I also worked in an Enrichment program at Bethal Christian Academy, in the afternoons after school, M-F. I taught a Youth In Arts program on the weekends at George Inness Junior High, which was sponsored by The Mount Claire Public School Systems. Read More
Instruments: Voice Trumpet Saxophone Flute Clarinet
My teaching experience includes serving as a middle school band director, high school band director, middle school choir director, high school choir director, elementary school general music and choir teacher, and elementary school clarinet teacher. The youngest student I've ever taught was six years old, and I'm happy to work with children, adolescents, and adults. During undergrad in college, I also worked the music theory tutoring lab giving theory lessons to college students, so if a high school student is studying music theory, I would be able to assist with that as well.

Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
For my keyboard students, I like to start with like bit of music theory and learn to read musical notes and proceed to closing warm up exercise and solo repertoire according to their level and interests. For my voice students, I typically focus on their genre of music and teaching their goal in singing. Depending on their goal or focus, I will introduce vocal exercise and techniques although most techniques are good to use in any kind of singing. Read More
Instruments: Guitar
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I started liking a lot of the riffs played by bands like Metallica since I was a little kid. I happened to realized the sounds I liked came from a guitar. That's when I decided I wanted to start playing guitar. It took me a while to learn a few songs and play some of those riffs I'm referring to. I didn't really struggle to learn, but it took me time. I happened to play bass for a while, and learned a few songs. However, I would not consider myself a great bass player and there's a lot of techniques I don't really know. That's why guitar is my primary instrument.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I like teaching students the way I learned playing guitar. It is pretty basic, but straight forward. I don't like students to get bored on their first class introducing them to boring stuff. I usually start talking about the guitar itself. I like teaching students the notes of each open string. Then we'll usually jump to learning a basic song. As time goes by we cover main chords and power chords. Then after, we usually go over a few essential scales. I do not like teaching from books; however, if that's the student's preference then I have no problem using a book.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Practice sessions should always be fun. I try to make an atmosphere where the student can ask questions. I normally like to prepare a piece for the student to learn, then eventually we'll designate some time for the student to ask questions. I like to make sure students know everything they need to know to do their homework. Practice sessions usually end with the student going over the music piece practiced. I like giving feedback on their progress and motivating them to keep working hard. At the end of the day their progress is really what I'm looking to get from every practice session.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I'm into a lot of different music styles. I don't think I would be able to pick one as my favorite. I honestly like to play anything that sounds appealing to me. There's some awesome classical music that's great to play in guitar. Some other songs in different styles like Metal, Rock, instrumental, and other are also great to play. It's not really about the music genre but the feels I get from the songs. I love distortion, but I also love clean sounds. Combining both of them is something I usually incorporate in my playing.

James
I've always loved singing, but I don't feel like I'm very good at it. I'd love to see if I can develop a stronger singing voice with some help and practice.
Cassie
Anyone that I know that offers voice lessons lives too far away. So I am hoping to find lessons closer. I can not sing, but would like to learn, or at least try:)
Sophia
I would like to find voice lessons for my 13 year old daughter. She has never taken actual voice lessons but has and is participating in her school choir.
