Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Recorder
I started mentoring and teaching students when I was in high school. I have been very successful with preparing students for auditions and to get them to the next level with their performance. Many of my students have gone on to study at Manhattan School of Music, Juilliard Preparatory program and Laguardia High School. I have worked as a teaching artist with Brooklyn Conservatory, Midori and Friends, Harlem Children's Zone, Louis Armstrong Foundation, New York Pops, Harlem School of the Arts and Menchey's Music.

For Beginners who are just learning how to read music, I usually start off with Faber's method, there is a version for adults as well as children. This seems to progress at a very suitable speed, comfortable yet still challenging, and has proved to be quite effective in getting basics down. Once my students have become familiar with the fundamentals in these books, I move them on to repertoire according to their individual goals or needs. Read More

In 2014 I completed my Doctor of Musical Arts degree and moved to the Philadelphia area. I have been an active performer, composer, and educator for the last 15 years of my life recently serving as Artist in Residence at Penn State's Altoona campus. Alongside performing in the Philadelphia area I have been a guest lecturer and artist for The University of the Arts in 2014 and 2015. Read More

I hope to work with students in the areas they want to focus on while also providing materials for overall musical development. If a student wants to work on one specific style, be it classical, jazz, or pop oriented music, I will show them the music, materials, and methods required for mastery in that subject. Along with this subject-specific teaching, I will also teach about the history of the flute and all styles that it might be used in. Read More

My love for music began when I was in fourth grade, and had a teaher that provided me with such a positive experience that I could not see my life with out music in it! I want to give students the same kind of positive experience I experienced! I hope to inspire students, and spark their passion for music! In 2013, I graduated from Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania with a Bachelor of Arts in Music Education. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Ukulele
As a teacher, I have taught private lessons, small and large jazz groups, concert bands, and in a classroom situation. I believe that being a part of diverse musical ensembles is essential to musical education. Many core concepts can be found in any style of music, and playing with as many people as you can find in many situations helps to make you the best possible musician you can be. Read More
Instruments: Flute
I graduated from Temple University initially in 2011, but was drawn back several years later to complete my Master's Degree, which ended in 2015. I have performed all across the state of Pennsylvania, in Connecticut, New York, Delaware, and as far away as Italy. I have played with youth, collegiate, and community orchestras and bands and as a soloist. I love playing with community and church members as often as I can. Read More
Instruments: Flute Piccolo
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am the most proud of my senior recital. I had organized an entire hour and half's worth of repertoire with varying styles and formats of groups. I included a handful of solos and duets, accompanied and unaccompanied by piano. I was part of a wonderful wind quintet that agreed to perform a few of my favorite selections. I arranged a contemporary piece for a flute quintet, complete with percussion, and I actually was able to figure out a time and place for us all to meet and practice a few times. My university's flute ensemble had rehearsed a fun piece to showcase as well. I had a goal to perform at least once on each of the four flute instruments I had available: piccolo, flute, alto flute, and bass flute - and I pulled it off! I learned so much about programming, organizing rehearsals, and becoming dedicated to practicing, and I wouldn't have had it any other way!
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session for me has generally the same format every time. It begins with a warm up of long tones or harmonics, just to get the sound going and the lungs to wake up. Next, I like to look at a technical exercise, maybe dealing with finger technique or lip flexibility. I sometimes like to use a mirror during technical practicing, to make sure my fingers look relaxed and close to the keys, and to watch how my lips and jaw move when I play in certain ranges. After this part is when we're usually nice and warmed up, so we will advance to something more expressive, like a solo or another choice repertoire. At this point we will work on dynamics and style, keeping in mind correct playing posture and breathing. At the end of a practice session, I will take a little time to work on something light and fun, as a cool-down.
I generally don't prefer to stay on just one thing for an excessive amount of time, because much like cramming for a test, it can tire you out. I move from one activity to the next when I feel like we've reached an appropriate level of practice for the day, or if we reach a certain goal.
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 of Science degree in Music Education. I chose this path for myself when I was about a junior in high school. I was playing flute in every ensemble I was physically able to, and I learned new instruments for ensembles that didn't include flute. Music had grown to be such an integral part of who I was, and I fell in love with the community of musicians that I was surrounded with. High school graduation grew nearer and nearer, and I had a realization that I did not want to leave this community of musicians. I knew graduation was inevitable, but I was at my happiest when I was in the music department of my school. That is the exact moment that I decided to major in music education so that I could become a music teacher and be a part of a music department once again.
