I started regularly teaching private lessons in 2019. I worked at the Wilmette Parks District, the Park District of Highland Park, Dynamic Music, and as a freelance teacher. I also was a music director for the Wilmette Children's Theatre, the Florida Repertory Theatre, and Highland Park's summer programming. I've been playing guitar since I was eight, piano since I was twelve, and I've been singing my whole life. I also had four years of performance training at the University of Central Florida, where I was a musical theatre performance major. Read More

The first six months are the hardest! That is the time when you are building up the muscles that are going to be the fundamentals for later on in your career. Although it might seem to the student that they don't see any change, it's happening more than they think! I continuously push my students to stay positive and not to give up within the first six months. Teaching students who really want to learn and who push themselves at home is one of the most rewarding experiences when they finally make it through that first barrier. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
My teaching style is molded around the student. The first lesson will consist of me asking the student what he/she wants out of music and out of the specific discipline they have chosen. After that, I tailor the lessons to them and their learning speed. Read More
Instruments: Voice
I would want nothing more than for kids to be excited and determined when beginning every class with me, which is why I wanna keep things fun and energizing always! Especially teaching online mostly, I know how easy it can to stay unfocused or disengage, which is why the material we cover will always be catered to what the student feels comfortable with while also being challenging enough for their skill level at the moment.

Instruments: Voice
I am an awarding-winning singer of classical South Indian (Carnatic) music. I began my training at age 8 and had begun singing in the South Indian music circuit by age 13. Just a few years later I had given invited solo concerts at a number of historic venues across the region. Since then, my experience as a classical Indian singer has been bolstered by an active performance career that included several cities in South Africa and the United States. Read More

Establishing a trusting and balanced bond between teacher and student is imperative to musical growth. Everyone has their own tastes, goals and preferred learning and communication styles. I take pride in embracing more of a mentoring approach, tailoring my teaching style and materials to each individual student in hopes of guiding them on their musical journey rather than choosing it for them. I believe in creating a strong basis of knowledge in theory, technique, and composition (at the levels appropriate for the student's current progress). Read More

I teach both voice and guitar. As an instructor of voice I start with Breathing exercises, posture, and ear training. I take methods from "The Singing Book" by Maribeth Dayme Cynthia Vaughn. With children, I gage how well their grasping the fundamentals before learning songs. Once we've gotten their we move forward to learning about different techniques. What I enjoy most is getting to know my student. Often times students show / tell me what their interested in learning, as each student is a different learner! Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Flute Recorder Piccolo Music
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Khachaturian Flute Concerto. Beautiful phrases, virtuosic sections, and DRAMA. What else could you ask for?
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would be a chef! In both instances we are serving others, and working as a unit to produce a greta product for others to enjoy!
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
This was a gradual decision which for me started in High School and I made the decision to dedicate myself to the craft, sacrifice a lot of my time, and be open to learning and being humbled by those around me- by pedagogues and performers alike.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My Elementary School PS165 took trips to Avery Fisher Hall and listen to the New York Philharmonic rehearse Peter & The Wolf. I was in the 3rd grade at the time so the only reason I liked the flute was because it was shiny, loud, and got all of the attention playing melody and in the center of the orchestra. I could hear the beautiful ringing melodies, the conversations had in between sections through the music, and how musicians/ conductors tackled difference of opinions in artistic approach, standard performance practice, what is historically accurate in terms of style, intonation, phrasing etcetc.
There was so much to be said about something that requires no talking to make happen.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Numerous students within my studio have won concerto competitions, orchestra seats, and chosen for masterclasses with known flutists from the New York Pops.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Going on tour with Nyack College to Asia in order to perform chamber music and going again a few years later as an Artistic Director where I would then oversee rehearsals, deal with logistics, and perform as a soloist internationally and get to give a Masterclass in Hong Kong!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing is just as much of an art-form as getting on stage with bright lights and playing your heart out! Go out and purchase a metronome! THAT is your best friend, and it never fails. Set a "Number Goal" for yourself and turn it into a game! Play something slowly 5 or 10 times, if you are able to play it correctly crank up the metronome 1-2 clicks. Set that same number again, if you mess up before getting to that number then go back to the previous tempo. Challenge yourself to memorize tricky passages as well. Take a tricky 8 or 12 measure section and memorize the first 2 measures to start off. Play it 10 times, then turn the stand and play it 5 times by memory- keep doing this and you will see how easily you can execute those tricky measures. Why? Well memorizing music is a greater challenge then reading that same passage which is now in front of you! So when its time to play it you can focus less on notes and nerves, and more on musical phrasing and air support!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
They should demonstrate a natural curiosity for music. Do they ask questions when they hear classical music? Do they react when they hear someone sing? Will they clap or dance on beat to music on the radio? Have they expressed an interest for a specific instrument? Another key factor is age/instrument.
A child who is very active might find something like the drums or percussive instruments more appealing then say the piano or violin which requires less movement to execute sound.
