Instruments: Voice
For beginners and young children, I generally demonstrate and have them practice breathing and certain terminology before we begin singing. Once we begin singing, I use the keyboard and have them practice matching pitch. We then do warm ups, and I teach them a couple phrases that will help with pronunciation and shaping their mouths to make certain sounds. For everyone, after we go over our usual warm ups, I like to find out their actual style and taste in music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I have been playing the keyboard since the age of 5. I have been teaching since I was 21 years old and completed my first college degree. Music is my life. I have been the Organist and Choir director of two churches and I have been fortunate to sing and work under the direction of Leonard Bernstein, Eugene Ormandy, and many other great conductors. I pass along my love and passion I have for music to my students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Saxophone
I like to keep my lessons fun. I realize that technique can be dull and dry at times but is a necessity in learning music. I like to mix technique with songs and styles of music the student is interested in so they get a full understanding of why technique is important and how it applies to songs and musical selections that are of interest to the student. A learning experience should be fun because for people, especially a child, something has to peak a willingness to learn. Read More
Instruments: Voice
I assess student and their current level and based on that I decide whether to start with Basic or little advanced etc.. Also I try to understand their objective of learning music, what they wish to gain. For eg. some just wish to learn to be able to perform with friends, some wants to take this up as profession in future. Some just wish to add extra points for their academics. Read More
Instruments: Voice
My goal is to promote healthy singing habits that last a lifetime. I'm very passionate about sharing my love of music with all the students that I teach. Every voice is unique and specific achievable long term and short term goals need to be set accordingly. I don't believe in forcing one style of music onto my students. There interest are very important and goals are set together. There's many different styles of repertoire that can yield similar results. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Harmonica Banjo Ukulele Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
One of my main goals as a teacher is to get to know my student, how they best learn, and what it is they love about music. My own love for music and particular bands/genres is what gave me the drive to keep practicing, and I bring this same approach to each of my lessons. Nothing makes me more happy than to see one of my students getting excited about something they are playing--and because of this, I structure my lessons to maximize the aspects of music each student enjoys, while making sure to incorporate fundamental aspects of technique and music theory regardless of the particular music we are studying.

Instruments: Piano Voice Flute
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance, Bachelor of Arts in Music Theory & History, and Master of Music in Vocal Performance.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I would love to performance the role of Anne in "The Rake's Progress" by Stravinsky. It is one of the most beautiful 20th century operas I know.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I have a long lost uncle who is a renowned violist. I didn't discover him until a few years ago and was overjoyed to have him in my life as he is the only other professional musician in my family!
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would be a veterinarian. I love animals and, strangely, always planned on being a veterinarian in spite of my studying music as a child. It wasn't until my senior year of high school that I realized I could pursue music for a living and I haven't looked back.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I've been playing music since I was a small child, but one teacher in particular that inspired me to pursue collegiate and graduate education in music was my high school band and choral director. He was so committed to his students and always gave 100% no matter what he did. It was so fun and beneficial working with him during those years and he really expanded my love for music.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I believe the hardest thing to master on any instrument is an awareness of how far one has come and allowing oneself to celebrate that! Sometimes, we get caught up in always trying to improve and we lose sight of how much we've already learned. I think it is so important to celebrate tiny victories and be kind to oneself at all stages of musicianship. We're never done learning so enjoy the process!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Knowing whether a child is ready for lessons depends on many things, not least of all physical development (I.e. can they hold the flute upright?). Has your child expressed a desire to learn an instrument? Do they seem excited about it? Do they understand that practice is vital to learning new skills? If so, I encourage jumping in! Even if your child has some questions or hesitations, I recommend trying lessons out and keeping an open dialogue with them as lessons progress to make sure they are still invested emotionally and mentally and are not only continuing to learn but are having fun!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
When learning a new skill or a new song, I highly recommend approaching it in short and frequent sessions. Consistency has proven more valuable than, say, practicing once or twice for a long time and not reviewing the new skills for 4-5 days at a time. Most especially with younger students, I encourage parents to start with shorter times of 10-15 minute sessions, once or twice a day, and move up from there.
