Instruments:
Picking up the viola late in high school was a huge decision for me. My parents had told me I was not allowed to start violin as a child because it would be "too difficult". Once I started playing, I hit the ground running. I decided only a year into playing that I wanted to teach music. I attended Susquehanna University and majored in Music with a Music Technology minor. There, I participated in the string pedagogy program. This involved weekly teaching seminars in addition to being paired with nearly 20 students throughout my time at Susquehanna. I participated in regular violin festivals by teaching group repertoire and theory classes. I also had the joy of being a counselor for the Williamsport Symphony Youth Orchestra Summer String Festival. Another fond memory is conducting for a new pilot project called SU strings. I have played for the Susquehanna University Orchestra, The Williamsport Symphony Orchestra, The Reading Pops orchestra, as well as countless quartets, a rock band for a nightclub gig, and as a solo artist for musicales, a recital, and on many, many other occasions. I absolutely adore teaching and teach students of all ages and backgrounds! Currently I teach a music based humanities course to 7th and 8th grade students at a charter school in North Philadelphia. As a part of that curriculum, I am teaching 200 pre-teens the ukulele. I also host an after school group violin class.

I'm a motivated educator and music therapist who has an intense love for music. I want my students to experience the joy that making music can bring! I believe that an early love for music can help motivate students to learn and excel on their instruments. I love working with students of all ages.My primary instrument is voice and I also teach piano, guitar, and ukulele. I excel and enjoy working with students with special needs! Music can do wonders for them and I am uniquely qualified to understand their challenges and needs while taking music lessons because of my work in music therapy.
Instruments:
I have a love for teaching students of all levels and ages. My specialty as a guitarist is in jazz, but I bring that love for improvised music to a number of other styles: blues, rock, funk, acoustic/fingerstyle, country, folk, ska, reggae, R&B etc. I graduated from Duquesne University in 2013 with a degree in jazz performance. Pittsburgh is a great jazz town with a fantastic local scene, which was a very fun and nurturing environment for me as a student. Now I am in my second and last year at Rutgers, Mason Gross School of the Arts, working towards my masters in jazz studies. Rutgers has made me a part of a network of excellent, young jazz players, which has been a huge help to my performance career.
Instruments:
I use positive reinforcement to help students get better at playing the guitar. I make the student feel comfortable learning and make the lessons fun. I give them plenty of chance to show me what they know. I have them playing notes and chords in no time. I start out with simple chords and move on to more advanced chords.

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
