Instruments: Guitar Voice Ukulele Music
For every one of my beginning students who wants to start playing the guitar or singing, I will alway start them off the best and most knowlegable way I know how, which would be a beginners guide. I started with Hal Leonard's Essential book 1 when I first started learning, and I have always used Hal Leonard's Essential guides for my students. If a student is an intermediate, I can find out where they're at and help them with any handicaps they may have, and point them in the right direction. ***Important note: I am able to teach online via SKYPE or FACETIME as well as in home or studio.

Instruments: Guitar Voice Violin Cello Viola Fiddle Double Bass Music Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
For violin, viola, cello and bass, I teach the Suzuki method. The Suzuki method is based strongly on memory and takes a systematic approach to introducing music of increasing difficulty. For classical guitar, I start off with the Frederick Noad system, "Solo Guitar Playing", and scales. As skill level increases, I assign more etudes and standard guitar repertoire. For acoustic guitar, I teach almost exclusively finger-picking. I teach the same high standard skills for acoustic guitar that I teach for classical, but concentrate on masterpieces of the repertoire. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
By trying to find out what inspires each student, I can customize their instruction to help develop a passion for their instrument. Nothing is more rewarding to see a student enjoy and become a confident musician! I allow each student to move at their own pace, but always challenging them so they do not become bored. Each student will need a small notebook for each week's assignments as this communicates to the student and parent what expectations have been set for the next lesson. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Voice Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I perform live music five nights a week playing everything from Frankie Valli to Three doors down, all the classic hits, songs that have become classics in every generation. Songs that stir our hearts, create emotion, and make lasting memories can make a difference for you as well. There is no greater joy than teaching someone to play an instrument with the ability to express themselves as a future artist. Read More
Instruments: Voice
While hearing something and being able to mimick it is important, being able to read music is a key factor when continuing to grow as a musician of all levels. I like to go over at least the basics of music theory with every student in bite-sized easy to understand pieces. This is in conjunction with our vocal lessons. Over the first few lessons we will get a base-line of skill level, range, musical interests, goals, etc. Read More
Instruments: Voice
I like to find out what my student's goals are, and then I tailor the lessons to their needs. If my student is in high school and wants to apply to University for voice performance, I will make sure they start with the 26 Italian Arias, and we will also work on languages, since certain Universities require their singers to sing in French, Italian, German, English, and Spanish. If I have a student who wants to sing in musicals, we will work on show tunes and classic music theater music, but also classical music, as that is the foundation to all singing. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Cello Viola Drums Bass Guitar Banjo Ukulele Mandolin Electric Violin Fiddle Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I really covered this in the above information,so continuing in more detail,it really depends on each individual student,their level of ability and age that determine the course of study.It also depends on the instrument.Some instruments like piano,violin or viola,books are more practical because the music is notated.With most fretted instruments,music is written in tableture which was originally used for the lute and brought back i think in the 1970s.Its easier than reading music and is more practical for those instruments.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Private voice lessons requires a lot of focus, preparation and commitment. If you don't feel like your child is able to commit to consistent practice each week in between their lesson, but they are interested in music and want to learn more, my suggestion is to find a group music class, such as a community choir or musical theatre program where your student can learn in a fun environment amongst other individuals their age and with the same interests! It's important that children gain an appreciation for music and gain positive, fun, and freeing feelings around music learning. Because of the responsibility that comes with one- on- one lessons, putting a child in lessons before they're ready for that commitment can risk leading to negative thoughts and feelings with music learning.
When will I start to see results?
Immediately. And if you practice as suggested and stay consistent with your lessons and preparation, you will see permanent results within 2- 4 weeks.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had several teachers who inspired me to go into music simply because they believed in me. I still have teachers currently that continue to inspire me to stay in music, as it can be a difficult career path full of rejection and discouragement. It's important to find the teachers and mentors who believe in you and want to work with you to make you better. On the flipside, it's also important to keep your distance and brush off the comments you receive from those who do not believe in you. There is a place for everyone in music- you just have to find the people who believe in you and enjoy your art.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
As cheesy and cliché as it sounds, singing chose me. It's a calling and a gift and ever since I was a little girl, I never wanted to do anything else.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I am endlessly proud of my students, whether they are choosing to pursue voice professionally, or just trying to improve their voice for the next karaoke outing! I always push my students to have at least one goal in mind in order to increase motivation. Some accomplishments of my students include continuing on to pursue a Masters degree in music, singing lead roles in professional, community and school performances, being accepted into prestigious summer vocal programs, and placing in NATS chapter auditions.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Carve out a set time in your schedule each day dedicated to practice. Even if you don't have an entire hour at one time, carve out 20 or 30 minute intervals throughout the day. Record your practice sessions and watch them back at the end. Make note of what you think went really well, and then what didn't go so well. Take that information into your next practice session so you can improve on the things that didn't go well.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Actually, as a musician, I have the luxury of pursuing many different avenues in my career. In addition to performing and singing, I also work as a Content Creator and Social Media and Marketing Manager. My personality type requires diversity in my career, so no matter what, I would be dabbling in several different things that allow me to be creative.
