Instruments: Voice
Born in Columbus, OH, I have been singing since the age of ten. My love for singing and performing has allowed me the opportunity to sing across the United States and abroad. This love for music and education is what motivates me everyday to help my students achieve the highest levels of their abilities. I have performed in several types of music including Opera, Musical Theater, Jazz, Blues, Gospel, R&B, Folk, Spirituals and even Rap! Read More

I love helping people learn music. I honestly believe that anyone can play an instrument with some work and everyone has a song to share. In 2012, I graduated from the University of Hawaii with a Bachelors Degree in Music Business. I started a band my junior year of high school called Local Uprising and we have traveled the states, opened up for some of the biggest reggae acts like Steel Pulse, Alpha Blondy, JBoog and Stephen Marley, we had #1 songs on radio and got nominated last year for Reggae Breakout Artist of the Year.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
I've always been passionate about music and it is an integral part of my everyday life. Music is like breathing to me...can't live with out it. I learned to play piano and guitar at a young age and was singing as soon as I could talk. I began to compose songs at the age of eleven and found songwriting to be an amazing way to express my thoughts and ideas. Read More

I like to use a combination of methods and method books. For a beginning band student I would use Standard Of Excellence of Essential Elements. For guitar students I like to use a combination of methods, depending on the student. I like to use the Old Town School's book for their first songs or Essential Elements for guitar. I like to use a method for guitar that emphasizes reading notes instead of just tabs, and also emphasizes rest stroke and free stroke. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to after my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part time 40 years ago, and have been teaching students world-wide for the last 40 years. Encouraging creative ways to achieve one's goals is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student enjoy their progress. I've also have a unique way of teaching a student because each student is different. Read More
Instruments: Voice
As a coach and motivator, my methods are rooted in ultimate self-reliance. The singer on stage stands alone, without their coach at their side. Many of my current and former students tour nationally and globally and have the skills and character to manage their own day to day careers. "Give a Diva a fish and she feasts for a day. Teach a Diva to fish and she feasts for a lifetime." Read More

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I'm sure my normal practice sessions don't look like the average practice session at all. After stretching, I will begin with an easy warm-up like a one octave scale, and build towards more difficult scales or warm-ups, usually for five to ten minutes. I'll take a short break, put the instrument down, and walk away for a couple of minutes. When I come back, I find one small thing (for example, a single difficult measure) and drill it over and over and over at a slow speed. Usually the goal is ten times in a row correctly, and if I mess up, I start the count over again. I do this for five to ten minutes, and then I set my instrument down again and walk away. I get a snack, work on a project, scroll social media for a couple of minutes, and then I do it over again. Short breaks keep me practicing for longer, as I don't burn out the fuse as quickly.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Violin is a notoriously difficult instrument on which to even get proficient. There are many moving parts that have to be just right, the bow weight, bow speed, finger placement, position, etc.. The hardest thing to master on the violin is truly your own patience. Nothing will teach you the reward of patience and hard work like learning a stringed instrument.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Pick out your difficult spots before you practice, set realistic goals about those difficult spots, and take frequent breaks! Work in small chunks, because running through a piece over and over again early in the learning process only creates more problems down the line.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
While I will always love the technical satisfaction I get from executing a difficult section in a piece of classical music, my true love is blues and rock. I love improvising a blues solo because I like seeing what creative choices I can make on the fly, as well as the fun of jamming with other musicians in a more relaxed environment.
When will I start to see results?
Results are a funny asymptote. The more advanced you are, (usually!) the longer it takes you to see the results you're looking for. Beginners usually see results very quickly. Typically, you'll start to see yourself gaining skills within a week, with realistic goals and a consistent practice schedule, even if you don't have a ton of time to practice.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child says that they want to learn an instrument, I usually say to wait about three months, maybe more depending on how old your child is. Kids go through interests very quickly (and that's okay!) so you don't want them to lose interest the first time that they realize that learning an instrument is more difficult than they thought it would be.
