Instruments: Piano Voice Violin
In college, I taught a handful of beginning violin students. Throughout college and my years post grad, Ive taught private and group dance lessons and focus on technique and confidence. I apply the same concepts to my music lessons and love helping students discover their personal voice. I encourage regular practice and personal compositions. Every student is different and I am hopeful to find the system that works for each one. Read More

I began teaching private music lessons in college in 2003. I have been teaching lessons consistently for the last 10 years from my home studio, online, as well as traveling to the students' home. I find great pleasure in hearing a student's progress, that's why I encourage recording their practice and having a consistent practice schedule. I feel it is important to give positive reinforcement and feedback to students. I am always excited to bring on new students of many different age groups! I believe it is important to keep the lesson interesting to the student by incorporating music for technique but also songs that the student enjoys playing. Read More
Instruments: Voice
I provide a care-free and fun environment for students where they have 100% permission to express themselves through music and make mistakes. No two students are the same and I make sure to cater to each individual student's needs and pacing. I reward students with stickers and high-fives when I see that they are taking corrections and improving. Lastly, I always give positive constructive criticism to each student and encourage them to be the best version of themselves when singing. “If I cannot fly, let me sing.” – Stephen Sondheim Read More

My personal style of teaching come from more than 20 years of experience on it. I will taylor a different plain of study for each student, from absolute beginners to the Advanced level. For early childhood i will use the Orff Shulwerk model of musical education , very funny and easy to learn. We will start to write together our own music after the first lesson! For older students i will reach their highest level in short time too, starting from the basic elements of music to arrive to a concert level. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I like to enjoy myself, whether it's working or specifically NOT working. I am enthusiastic, positive, funny, caring, and dedicated to my craft and my students. I have a talent for adapting to different situations quickly and (usually) successfully. My experiences have been in all genres of music and on several different instruments. If you want to learn, I want to teach. We're a perfect match! Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Ukulele Music
For piano lessons I generally prefer to use the Alfred curriculum, but am well versed in other options should the student already be accustomed to certain styles. I have assisted students with their Certificate of Merit completion, and worked several students through the entire Alfred curriculum, till they went on to achieve collegiate scholarship opportunities. As a voice teacher, I employ a Bel Canto technique, and specialize in a Musical Theater Style and Classical Background. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
A rigid daily practice schedule is imperative to a student's success. Practice on selected pieces and etudes is mandatory, but the student must work with exercises that improve agility, poise, position and accurate fingering. Before taking lessons each student should study their everyday schedule and determine the time of day (including Saturdays and Sundays)that is the most consistently uninterrupted time for one hour of practicing. Without practice, progress is slow and could lead to frustration and a discouraged spirit which is a deterrant to a proficient musician.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Interest and/or the desire to learn music could be detectable as early as age 4. Exposure is key. If a piano is in the home and played often, a child will naturally be curious and will want to be able to make the beautiful sounds they hear. If a piano is not in the home, the child may develop an interest through exposure during school hours or during after school care. Parents should be sure to keep an open ear for indicators of interest. If it is consistent, by all means start their lessons as soon as possible.
When will I start to see results?
Results could be visible as early as 3 months provided the student consistently practices each and every day for at least one hour. Missed or inconsistent practices results in a re-learning mode which slows progress. Parents are encouraged to guard weekly practices and lessons against interruptions which cause the student to be distracted. If distracted they have to start over, which wastes time. I spend a good deal of time during the first three months with basic music theory. This insures the grasping of music concepts and practical application.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
There are many. I am, however, most proud of my opportunities to work with several renowned musicians, choral and instrumental. It has indeed been a blessing to be trained by well-known pianists and choral directors in an education setting or through my music ministry with the Church. One very memorable highlight, if I had to choose one, would be my opportunity to perform with a choral group at Carnegie Hall in New York. This is good to share with my students as it instills in them the need for consistent practice, practice, practice. Carnegie Hall is conceivable!
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Keeping your eyes solely on the score was a challenge. Mastery of this skill is imperative if a student wants to play really well. It does, however, takes time, practice and patience to reach this level, but it is a skill that must be learned early. Thus, I teach this to my adult students but also include this practice with my younger students. The earlier the skill is mastered the better the student's progress. It gives me such joy when a student is excited that they mastered even a couple of measures of a song without looking at the score.
