Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Flute Organ
I began teaching shortly after graduating from college, not expecting that teaching would be something I'd be too keen about. However, it has really grown on me and I love the gift of giving music to prospective students and watching them grow and learn as I once did. I have been teaching at various locations/businesses throughout the NJ area from as south as Swedesboro to as north as Trenton. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Oboe
I am a current student at Ball State University studying to receive a Bachelor of Science Degree in Instrumental/General Music Education with an add-on in Vocal Education. I am passionate about teaching music and helping others reach their full potential on whatever instruments they want to play. I am versatile and can play on almost every instrument with piano as my primary focus. When I am not teaching, I spend my time practicing, performing, and always striving to improve on any and every instrument I have available. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Flute
Piano - there are as many method books as there are different kinds of pianos! I use, but am not limited to, the following: Faber, Noona, Wunderkeys, Pianotown, Alfred, Helen Mier, Snell, and more. I like to start any student that comes to me with what they already have. For a young student - I will start with Faber as it is the easiest to understand for younger players. Other than that - I gear the lessons to each individual student. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar
Upon a student's evaluation every lesson with any student should form it's own branch or life of it's own. Music is a passionate expression. I help students understand their instruments. Self expression, individualism, and self composition are traits I sought as a student and musician. My joy as a teacher, instructor and mentor is seeing the excitement someone achieves when they finally feel the "got it" or are starting to connect the dots. Read More

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child has a real passion for music and has the ability to focus for a half hour or more, then go for it! It also depends on what you want your child to accomplish in lessons. Many kids sing in choirs, so working on general music skills can be incredibly advantageous. If you want them to work on vocal technique, I would suggest waiting a few years so their instrument can develop.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Figure out which section of the music you want to work on, and then focus on it within a limited time frame. Repeating the same section over and over again eventually ceases to be productive and begins to work against you. If needed, set a timer for a reasonable amount of time (30-60 min.), and after the timer goes off, move on to something new. Be gentle with yourself!
When will I start to see results?
This really depends on your level and what kinds of results you are looking for. For a beginner, learning basic breath management and posture can produce major results! But sometimes, more advanced singers have more nuanced problems, and these habits can take months or years to correct. Patience is key! There really are no shortcuts when it comes to singing.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Absolutely. One of my recent voice teachers was, and still is, a huge source of inspiration for me. She went to the same high school as me years before I did, and while visiting to help with a school musical, she encouraged me to pursue a professional singing career. Today, she is rising to the top of the field and winning awards left and right. While teaching me, she instilled a lot of the techniques and approaches that I apply to my own students. She taught me that every singer has their own journey to take, and that we have to be kind to ourselves during the process.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
When I was fourteen, I accidentally changed the tv channel to PBS, where they were playing the 25th anniversary recording of Les Miserables. A couple months later, I had my first live performance singing Javert's song Stars, and ever since then I have been hooked! But really, singing is to me an extension of speech, and sometimes we sing the feelings that we can't express with words. It's an amazing experience that I can't get enough of!
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Not thinking too much. Seriously! One of my biggest struggles has been that I think way too much while singing, analyzing every vocal detail and hyper-focusing on every note. But, the key is to just let the notes flow out like a big sigh. I find that this is a common issue for a lot of singers, and it totally doesn't need to be.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Vocal Performance from Pacific Lutheran University, and I am currently working on my Master's Degree in Voice at Indiana University. I chose this degree because I love singing, and we should all do what we love!
