I have had a love a music for as long as I can remember. My mom used to play in her community band when she was pregnant with me. In 2013, I graduated from Chapman University with a Bachelor's degree in music performance, primarily in Trumpet and Bass Guitar. While in High School, I performed in every Ensemble I possibly could, which includes Symphonic Band, Marching Band, Orchestra, and Jazz Band. Read More

My teaching style is a balance between a music theory discipline mixed with what the student wants to learn of the instrument. I prefer and enjoy an environment that promotes expression of the student where we can learn from each other. I understand the uniqueness of each of my students and cater to their needs be it attention span, shyness, learning speeds,etc. Music is a discipline and a means for expression and that's what we will teach in my lessons.

< My teaching experience includes public school, private schools, homeschool groups, and individual studio instruction. Most recently, I am an undergraduate music instructor. I love performing but more that that I love to see my students embrace a lifelong love of music. I employ a variety of hands-on techniques that engage students and use incentives to help them achieve success. In a collaboration with parents, I seek to know the student and set up a positive reinforcement dynamic. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar
Depending on the level the student is at I will work with them where they are at and what is needed. If a beginning student I will usually start off with working on scales and use visual tools such as books to help aid the process. I will usually get the student to play or perform some sort of song no matter how simple it is, maybe even get them to make up their own song based off of what they learned. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Organ
The best part of teaching for me is seeing students transform from unsure beginners to confident musicians with enthusiasm and passion for their own chosen taste in music. I know students can drive the lessons with their choices, so I let them select music that will keep them coming back for more challenges. Even still, I want them to have the exposure to diverse training and music styles to expand their own style. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums Latin Percussion
I love to teach cause I loved the teachers I had. What they played, what they taught me and what they said. And that's my approach. Music is not just notes. Music is an experience, a fun one. Technique, styles, reading, rudiments, playing with the click, tempo exercises, coordination,...All ages and specific inquires are welcome! My goal is you to have good times playing! Both piano and drums students I offer the possibility of playing along with the student to make it a lot of fun and richer! Read More
Instruments: Voice Drums
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The voice is the most challenging musical instrument because of the many musicianship skills it take to master it. While instrumentalists enjoy the luxury of being able to articulate music using external triggers such as sticks, bows, slides, valves, and keys, improving vocal technique still requires dexterity and the development muscle memory to achieve successful navigation. All musical instruments have different intrinsic challenges derived from their various mechanical designs, however, the voice is activated internally by sending a controlled airstream to the larynx. The experience of singing is entirely physical and in addition to the moving parts of the larynx, vocal training involves learning how to manipulate the rib cage, diaphragm, throat, soft palate and lower jaw to best support the connection of breath and sound to the voice. Additionally, since the head and throat serve as resonance chambers, singers must learn how to physically develop tone quality, timbre and vocal colors using these devices. Essentially, a singer’s musical instrument is their body and each is naturally equipped with its own personal attributes.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
For my voice students I like to begin with Anne Peckham's The Contemporary Singer because it provides the perfect warm up regimen for all musical idioms, including pop, R&B, jazz and classical styles. Anne's book provides perfect exercises for essential breath management skills, which affect intonation and phrasing. Students studying scat singing with me will learn mostly by rote but more advanced singers will use "Scat! Vocal Improvisation Techniques" and "Blues Scatitudes." In addition, I like to use the Vocal Real Book for jazz standard repertoire and will support any song the student would like to sing including pop, rock, Latin and Broadway show tunes. FInally, if the student needs to work on rhythms and/or rhythmic feel, I use my book "Rhythmania," which is call-response rote-learning format.
Beginning drummers will enjoy a 3-step rote-learning process I call "Hear it, Sing it, Play it." Simultaneously I teach the traditional rudiments using a classic book called "Stick Control" written by George Stone. Intermediate to advanced drummers interested in playing jazz music use Ted Reed's "Syncopation for the Modern Drummer, "Advanced Techniques," by Jim Chapin, "Reading in 4/4," by Louis Belleson and David Weigart's "Jazz Workshop for Bass and Drums. Pop/rock/R&B drummers will enjoy Bill Elder's A Drummer's Guide to Contemporary Grooves," Paul Cappozzoli's "Around the Drums," and "Essential Stryles for Drums and Bass by Steve Houghton & Tom Warrington. I choose all my teaching approaches and books based on the student's interest, musical goals and proficiency level.
