I have been teaching others music since I was in college. My love for music education comes from the great opportunities I had at a very young age to work with amazing conductors and music educators in New Jersey, as part of the All State and regional bands. Through numerous varied past experience teaching private lessons to all ages, at summer camps, group classes at an arts center, and student teaching, I am fully equipped for any situation. I thoroughly enjoy helping my students grow at their own pace while always making sure to challenge them and keep it fun!

When first meeting a student, I like to start by getting to know them. I usually ask a series of simple day to day questions along with some music related questions. Be prepared to answer some of the the following, “what is your favorite band/singer” and “why”, “what are your goals for our lessons together” , and “what instruments do you play or want to learn” . After getting to know the student on a first name basis, we will go through a basic warmup and posture review. Read More

Once again, each student is different and I will never compare one students to the next. What I will do is teach students the importance of practicing everyday and how to develop practice habits that work for YOU. As you are working through your journey in lessons, I like to acknowledge the accomplishments of the student. Even if the student cannot hear their growth, I will always make sure that they know they are on the road to an increased level of artistry. Read More
