Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice

After earning a degree in Theater from UMD, I moved to New York City to start my career in performance. My journey took me to some great cities such as Paris, where I was able to sing in French and imerse myself in the rich culture of France. From there I traveled to the "All American City of Entertainment", Las Vegas, NV. My extensive background in songwriting led me to write, produce and record my own CD, "Almost Home". Read More

Luckily I was taught by not only very high skill level players, but also by charismatic individuals that were also very good educators. As an educator, my main focus is to emulate their masterful ways of teaching and incorporate that into my program. I use various methods: how to read music, hear music and create music. Ear training is super important to me as it allows the student to learn "feel". Read More

I believe that every student learns differently in their own way because no one is born the same so I base my teaching methods off that. Every lesson plan is based off key points that the student is trying to achieve and every week pushing their limits little by little so they’re always improving gradually. What’s the student feels comfortable where they’re at I begin diving into deeper subjects and more advanced techniques. Read More

I teach music differently. When learning a skill, consistency equals success. Lessons have to be engaging, personalized and fun. When teaching my students, I find out what music they love, their favorite songs and artists. I find out what music they would love to learn.

I was a teacher in the public schools, and I wanted to be able to give more one-on-one attention to students. I wanted to be able to teach in a way that uplifts students and makes them excited about music. I also wanted to be able to make students feel comfortable and have fun. I have a degree from Vandercook College of Music in Music Education. I like to teach using the Vandercook method and give students a strong foundation on their instrument. I am in the process of getting set up to teach online lessons! Read More

Teaching music is my passion! I love seeing my students make a progress and it makes me tremendously proud knowing that I am the one who taught them the new skills. I use an individual approach and lesson plan for each student, tailoring it to the specific student's needs and aspirations. It's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Read More

Mary's College of Maryland. I can't overstate my love of music, and enjoy most if not all forms, including "classical" (especially J.S. Bach, Chopin Debussy), jazz (especially Coltrane, Monk, Miles, Duke, John McLaughlin, Chick Corea and Weather Report), blues (especially Albert Collins, Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, and B.B. King), and much "rock"/pop (especially the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Joni Mitchell, and King Crimson). I've comprehensively studied music in great detail, and also studied systems for understanding and teaching guitar in great detail, developing a scientific and ecletic system that expands on the proven CAGED system.
