Instruments: Piano Cello
In addition to my private studio, I have taught as a private instructor, both through music schools in the central NY area and at Ithaca College in Ithaca NY. I have maintained a private studio since early in my undergraduate degree (6 years ago). I am most experienced in classical cello at all levels of experience and all ages, but will adapt my teaching depending on the interests of the student. Read More

I have been playing music for over 30 years, starting with the drums at age 12, and then guitar at age 14. I attended Berklee College of Music and graduated cum laude with a B.A. in Professional Music in 1995. My main areas of focus while in college was jazz composition and performance. I have been teaching professionally since 1996, and have since picked up other instruments such as bass, piano, and alto sax. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar French Horn
My dad employed a very competitive method on me and my siblings when teaching us piano. And although it worked on me, it caused my brother to quit piano. I have learned through my teaching experience that some students need a push and some need a pull. Every student is unique. I admit that I am the most successful with a competitive method. The "I bet you can't play that right" method. Read More

My experience in the music therapy field as well as my personal experience being homeschooled when I was young has led me to hold the philosophy that every student succeeds most in an individualized environment. For that reason, I first learn about the student: their interests, their strengths, their struggles, and the way that they see the world. From there, I design goals that are personal to them, and design a curriculum that works for their learning style. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute
For me it is really important to see students learning and advancing in music. Understanding every student needs and abilities allows me to set up clear and objective goals for every lesson. Keeping motivating the students through certifying their progress helps them to keep learning. It is also important for me that each student has fun, otherwise I do not feel like I am doing my job!

Instruments: Piano
I hope all my students will become well-known instrumentalists in the future, but I set realistic weekly goals for my students. I design the curriculum according to the student's level and progress, and I highly encourage daily practice even though it could be a challenge. Acknowledging the progress and accomplishments while pointing out the places to improve on will help and motivate students to learn more. I will be able to tailor my instruction to students' pace and needs after the first two weeks of the private lesson. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Trumpet Trombone
I am a life long lover of music and have played violin and piano since the age of 5 and began trombone in 5th grade school band. I fell in love with the trombone and love to keep up with my other instruments, I also love to arrange and compose music. I love sharing my love of music with others and watching children blossom into their musical selves is always a great journey. Read More

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My grandfather was a rag-time and blues pianist, completely self-taught and played everything by ear. He died when I was very young, and I never really heard him play, but one day I just started playing songs by ear and started teaching myself the piano year by year, and the rest is history! I really started learning the jazz language seriously in high school, and then started to master it in college!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My high school band director of 2 years, before retirement, Mr. Massey, has been one of the best teachers I have ever known. He was the first teacher to truly push me, to get me out of my comfort zone, and to reach my potential the way nobody else saw yet. He was very tough on me, and sometimes I didn't see why, but it made me the musician I am today and inspired many of the methods I use as a teacher and a player that I still use today.
When will I start to see results?
Sometimes results will be hard to see, but I like to see results as becoming more comfortable with the material and challenges that a student is faced with. I strongly encourage my students to record themselves practicing, at jam sessions, listening to concerts, etc. Listening back to these will help students realize how far they have come, and how progression does occur even when it doesn't feel like it. In my vocal tech class at UMass, my teacher assigned us a task called 'video reviews' where we commented on our own singing from videos she recorded in class. Listening to these, I couldn't even believe some of the improvements and accomplishments I had made from earlier in the ear, and would not have realized if it weren't for those videos or that assignment. Progress and results are interesting aspects of music, and they are sometimes invisible, but I promise they always come, whether in small or massive forms!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice with intent! Instead of practicing what you know or what you're already good at, spend more time completely focused on playing those 2-3 bars that you don't know in a piece. Sometimes all you need in a practice session is to master 1 very difficult passage. Sometimes it's learning a whole piece in an hour or two. Create a plan with your teacher, or even by yourself, where you can make progress by a system, and remember that small victories are big victories! Trust me, they add up over time!
