Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
I use to talk with my students for a few minutes, because I trying make them relax. Then I make questions above the homework's if they understand or no. If he/she do not understand the homework's I use to help them again. when they are ready to do I am ready to continue the class. I am trying to speak very slow and I have very much patience when I am teaching because one of my teachers said to me; "You need a lot of patience to be teacher". Read More
Instruments: Guitar
I've spent the last year teaching guitar. I used to teach my friends who were less experienced on guitar certain fundamentals about music theory to help them progress further. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Trombone
It is important for me that the student feels comfortable with me, so I try to make sure each lesson has a specific goal, but to keep the lesson light-hearted and fun. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Voice
Utilizing the philosophy of experiential education, I encourage my students to explore music through their own personal experiences. Understanding the experience we have with music in our everyday lives, allows us to personally connect with the music and sounds that speak to us, while aslo nurturing creativity and curiousity within our instrument. My purpose is to not only teach the technical aspects of the instrument but also develop a deeper and more personal connection to music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Drums Recorder Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion
My teaching experiences go back at least 15 years. I started when I was in college and have never stopped teaching. In my lessons I focus on the whole child. Together we find out where their strengths lie and capitalize on those strengths. Music is supposed to be fun and that is one of my goals is to keep it fun and exciting for the student. I find it is best to expose the student to all types of music new and old and everything from classical to hip hop. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Double Bass Acoustic Guitar
I definitely believe in realistic goals and I think one of the most important things during learning is that my students properly know what they have to do to be prepare for the next lessons and to achieve the current goal! I also really encourage my students in having a daily and enjoayble instrument practice. I am sure that doing at least 30 minutes technique exercises every day is the best way to feel comfortable with our instrument quickly. Read More

My teaching style is all about the growth of the student and doing what I can to spur their progress. Being new to private instruction, I am eager to discover what teaching methods work most effectively for each student I interact with, and even strengthen my own guitar skills in the process. In teaching, I aim to help make music feel like fun as opposed to a chore or obligation and pass on what I have found most effective and helpful in my journey thus far. 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.
