My first goal as a music instructor is to help my students find the excitement and passion for making music. I personally tailor each of my lesson plans to the student's interests and goals, and I truly believe that a love for making music is the necessary bedrock for a life full of music and a desire to practice and hone skills. I just graduated NYU with an MFA in Musical Theatre Composition. Read More

I have a BFA in Jazz Studies from City College- CUNY. I've had the opportunity to play in Broadway shows, clubs, as well as festivals in the US and abroad. These have been with several artists in the Jazz and Latin music world, as well as with my own group. With these experiences I have become well versed in several styles including Jazz, Latin, Rock , and Pop music. In my teaching approach, I enjoy sharing what I've learned out in the world with my students, since I bring a large pallet of music to my lessons. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Flute Clarinet Bass Guitar Recorder
I am a jazz musician and composer at heart. The woodwinds (saxophone, flute, clarinet and ewi (Electronic Wind Instrument)) will always be my main performing instruments. Although my journey into composition and teaching has given me practical experience on many other instruments as well, so that I am a competent player and teacher for beginner and intermediate students on piano, guitar and electric bass. Sharing music with others, with an audience or with an eager student, is a magical and rewarding experience that I cherish. Read More

I teach with a positive attitude and lots of encouragement. Why? Because this is meant to be a safe space for learning your instrument, whatever your age or current skill level. I am trained to find any area where you feel uncomfortable playing or learning and find new and better ways to help you get exactly what you want to play under your fingertips. I make sure that no matter what we do or where we go in the lesson, you get a playing victory every single time you show up! Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Latin Percussion Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
My music teaching experience began over fifteen years ago when my first student was recommended to me by my high school music director to teach a younger student privately. Since then, I have taught people of all ages drums, guitar, ukulele, piano, world percussion, and even some violin. I believe nothing is more rewarding than having a relationship to music, and teaching music has given me the opportunity to share the joy of music with others. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Trombone
My teaching experience started once I began taking music lessons myself. I was alway very excited to share what I learned with my friends. I have been teaching professionally for five years, having had several students taking lessons for Trombone, Guitar, Piano, Music Theory and Composition. I have also taught group brass lessons as a teaching artist for the New York Pops' "Kids on Stage" program as well as the Corona Music Project. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Develop a routine for yourself, stick to it in its most essential form, and consistently add new things to your practice noodling! The new things keep it fresh and interesting, and the bare necessities make sure that your fingers are warmed up and ready to shred. Give yourself a new challenge every time you practice! My fingers turn to butter if I don't go through the ropes I've developed for myself every day, which involves playing a set of jazz heads, scales, and arpeggios at gradually faster tempos. Getting into a consistent routine is the most important step that you can take towards becoming a technically proficient musician.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I am incredibly lucky in that I was taught by a number of incredible musicians (and people!) who collectively made me want to go into music. In high school, I was taught by Sara Landeau (who slowly but surely convinced me that sightreading was a necessary hurdle to jump, and also that women can shred), Mary Halvorson (who taught me that: 1) really good musicians consistently work really hard towards the mastery that they have, 2) to love and deeply appreciate crazy modern/avant garde jazz and improvised music, and 3) that developing a voice, or individuality in the way that you play and compose is even more critical than becoming technically brilliant), and Roy Nathanson (who taught me the joy, beauty, and euphoria that is music, and who taught me that the life of a musician is difficult, but that every second is worth it for the sake of that joy).
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 degree in composition because of my teachers who were composer-performers, and because as much as I loved to play music that I loved listening to, there was an equal desire in me to make my own music. I started off as a singer-songwriter and developed into a composer. This is not to imply that one is lesser than the other! That happened to be my trajectory. I am also a firm believer in the composer-performer's role in the development of new music. The composer-performer is the way of the future!
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would build stringed instruments! I think that there are many, many roles that can be assumed within the bracket/umbrella of the 'music industry' (a term that I am not fond of, but that's besides the point!). Many of those roles are undervalued and underserved. Should a musician be valued more than a music teacher, or a sound engineer, guitar tech, booking agent, venue owner, manager, or publicist? My answer is: NO! All of these roles are hugely important, and without them, musicians would have to do so, so much more work, and would get to play less, and the world would start to tilt off-balance. We (hopefully) inhabit a music community, which should not be hierarchical, and which should help everybody serve everybody else in the name of the art form that is music.
