Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Acoustic Guitar
I only have one aim on why I teach. I want to see my students bring out the best in them, see their strength in their talent, be inspired and motivated, be able to find their own niche and ultimately become better performers. Just seeing them grow in the passion they've chosen is a huge accomplishment for me. I believe that in teaching, I am learning as well. Sharing my passion to someone who is very passionate in their craft inspires me to even teach more. Read More

I try to approach each student as an individual. Every student has their own level of enthusiasm, patience, willingness, and availability. Learning music should always be fun and rewarding first and foremost. I believe in building a good teacher/student relationship and pushing my students beyond what they believe their limits are. Learning music is a never ending process. I want my students to be able to learn and grow outside of the lesson room. Read More

I love seeing my students develop a passion for music! That is why I make sure each student progresses at their own pace by setting realistic goals for each lesson. I always acknowledge a student when they practice very hard and ask great questions. By understanding what the student wants out of the lesson, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. I recently have been teaching elementary general music as well as directing a middle school choir and orchestra. Read More

Classical: Irina Gorin Books which is suitable for kids 4-6 years old Then I explore the classical repertoire. Jazz theory: Own developed curriculum Pop songs: Same as Jazz theory. The only difference is the repertoire of songs explored For intermediate- advanced students I work on developing their favorite music styles and songs. I like to help the student self practice and self understand music. I encourage them when they show interest in practice. Read More

My main goal in educating is to help a student develop a true passion for music. I strive to help a student, any age, better understand music theory and technique so that music can remain a part of their life and so that they have the tools to explore different genres as their tastes broaden. By being a positive and dependable resource in a students musical life I help students reach goals at a pace effective for them and hope to inspire musical growth long after the lesson is completed.

Nothing is more rewarding then seeing your students develop a passion for music and pursue their future career in music . On my teaching technique each student get different approaches and each of them work individually set in his/her own realistic goals.By trying to find out what inspires them I can tailor my instruction to make each student eager to learn more . When student feels comfortable playing a certain technique then the freedom of playing his/her favorite piece comes in our view to change the music style for him/her. Read More

I usually take the first lesson to gauge what the student wants from learning their specific instrument. If they want to learn a specific song, if they want to get better at a certain genre, or if they just want something to do as a hobby! I believe it is counterproductive to force a certain system or lesson series that the student is not interested in. I have tons of practice books, scales, and warmups that I like to use to help the student become more proficient and confident in their craft. 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.
