I am not strict in one specific style. I try to be malleable in my approach as I get to know the habits and abilities of each individual. I've had students for whom I thought it best to be more rigid and repetitive drill based, while others seem to benefit from a more passive guru. It's a spectrum. Always, though, I try to control the pace of the session, to speak thoughtfully, honestly, and constructively whilst always maintaining the utmost respect for the struggles that a student is facing.

I began teaching at the young age of 16, while still in high school. At that point I had been playing electric bass for about 4 years and had played in a few bands and excelled at the instrument, and I knew a family friend who was looking for a bass teacher, so I volunteered. I had weekly lessons with him for about 2 years, until I went away for college, and quickly realized that teaching is one of my many passions. Read More

I began my journey as a mentor and teacher as a camp counselor back when I was in High School. Since then, I have developed my teaching style and experience through offering private and group music lessons in after school programs, music studios, and middle schools across Massachusetts. From 2013-2015 I went back to school for my masters in Community Music Education, where I studied traditional and experiential learning, progressive and alternative education, as well as arts administration and childhood development.

I have been teaching percussion lessons since 2010, when I lived in Norfolk, Virginia. I began teaching young K-5 students the basics of percussion like proper technique, posture, note recognition and values, different styles of music, etc. I began by asking the parents what their child was interested in and based on the conversation, I catered the lessons to each individual student. When I moved to Florida in 2013, I was a graduate assistant at Florida State University, an adjunct professor at Wallace Community College (AL), and an instructor at Mason's School of Music (K-8).

I must inspire every student to learn and engage with the history of music and its effect on culture and society. To me, music is a healthy therapeutic outlet for emotion and creative expression. I encourage practicing every day, and falling asleep with the instrument in hand. I praise my students a lot and complement every accomplishment. I love building their confidence and knowing that my student is progressing faster than expected. Read More
