Instruments: Piano
For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hannon and Byer for the basic traning, as well as John Thompson. Once the students has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar
Nothing is better than watching a student make the transition from one level of playing to the next. It is important that each student progress at his or her own pace. This is achieved by setting realistic goals each week. I love to encourage students' success by acknowledging their accomplishments, no matter how small. This helps fuel their desire to get better. I want to know what inspires my students so I can bring that into the lesson every week. Read More
Instruments: Piano
Generally speaking, music is not necessary, but it is essential to have fun learning it! Regardless of a student's reason for taking lessons, I believe in giving all students an equally high level of opportunity and guidance, and I take responsibility for ensuring they grow as a well-rounded musician. As long as realistic goals are set, a regular practice routine can be established. As a teacher, I enjoy seeing students develop a love for learning music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Euphonium French Horn
I am an experienced and passionate teacher and performer. I hold my K-12 Music Teaching Certification in Ohio and New Jersey. As a professional vocalist, I have appeared with various orchestras and small opera companies in Chicago, Cleveland, Philadelphia, and beyond. I have performed at Severance Hall, Playhouse Square, Philadelphia's Kimmel Center, and Chicago's Harris Theater, but as a student, I never thought that would be the case. My teachers have included some of the finest in the Northeast and Midwest, and I thank them for treating me as an individual with unique needs as a musician. Read More

I am very much a goal-oriented and visual person, so I like to set clear goals for my students. I like to get to know my students personally and create a more open relationship. Some students learn much quicker than others and that is okay! But, I do always encourage my students to progress using proper techniques to prevent burnout and any injuries. I am very flexible with my students and will always adapt to the way they learn best. Read More

I began teaching privately as a high school student, working with begnning students at the middle school. I have taught privately in my home and in students' homes since graduating from college. Regular practice is very important and something I emphasize with my students. I like to include a mixture of classical and modern music in my lessons, so that students enjoy what they are learning and playing. If a student does not enjoy their time playing their instrument, they will not want to put the practice in and lessons will become a point of argument. Read More

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
When I was in 3rd grade there was an assembly where the 5th graders came to the theater in the round and played the string instruments for us. There were violins, a viola, cello and a bass. I was mesmerized by the cello and decided that I had to play that instrument. After I signed up the music teacher called my house and asked my mom if I might be interested in playing the bass because no one had signed up for it. My mom raised me on Motown music and asked me if I would like to play the instrument that was the heartbeat of all the music we loved and then told me that if I stuck with it that she & my dad would get me an electric bass when I got to high school. I was sold and ended up loving those low tones and being the musical anchor... still love it too!
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I have toured the country with a number of different bands, recorded on a number of albums- including three that were all original music written by me- and have played hundreds of gigs a year for the past 15 years, and have been a successful teacher. I have been able to make a living playing and teaching music and have gotten to meet many interesting people and have been places that most people have not because of music. I have made so many friends and have had so many wonderful meals and can't imagine doing anything else.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I'm not sure if they've won any awards but I do have quite a few former students who have gone on to college to study music and have become music teachers. I have another student who's band just got signed to a record deal and another who is on his way to study at Berklee College of Music. I have helped students write and record albums and have taught people to express themselves fearlessly and with confidence. I have little kids that look up to me and show up to their lessons excited to show me that they can perfectly play their lessons from the previous week and have had countless bands from rock band classes perform onstage for family and friends and sound amazing.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on the bass is the balance of good intonation and good time. Rhythm is the key to music and if the beat is not strong and felt within you then you are not really playing. As a bass player it is also important to be able to communicate the correct notes to the other musicians and it is hard to dial in the correct pitch on a fretless instrument that is almost as big as I am. Slowing everything down and understanding that it is better to take the time to learn something well than to get it right quickly without fully absorbing the lesson was another concept that took a while to sink in.
