Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Ukulele Music
I am a passionate music educator who believes every person can thrive through music. There is an instrument, style and technique for each learner. My journey in music began at the young age of 3, singing along with the sounds of live guitar and Classic Rock tunes on the radio in my home. Since then I have participated in vocal/choral ensembles for over ten years, and was honored with the opportunity to sing at Carnegie Hall with an ensemble in February of 2020. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Cello Bass Guitar
I began teaching a younger cello student while I was in high school, serving as an intermediary between him and his primary teacher. There, I was just an extra pair of ears, but it helped me to focus on my own technique and how to most efficiently play my instrument. Thus, I believe classical methods of teaching are most effective for getting a student off the ground and running on the cello. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums Bass Guitar
I have had many experiences in my pursuit of Music throughout the Eastern Seaboard. I have had professional singing experiences as well in a few varied genres, include Gospel, Spiritual and Classical musics. My professional training in Education has afforded me the luxury of teaching in a variety of educational settings ranging from Pre-School to Adult Continuing Education. To culminate my work experiences in Therapeutic Music as both a Recreation Specialist and Music Therapist, I completed one year of study at New York University and have plans to one day finish a program I started there. I have also maintained my skill at performance on Woodwinds and Classical guitar, which I enjoy especially having students to prepare for. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Acoustic Guitar
For beginning students I typically start with sound development and articulation for the brass instruments starting with armband studies and schlosburg studies. For the intermediate students I work on Clark studies and intersperse getchel etudes for artistic development. Advanced students work on major recital works for brass that help their development for performance. Guitar students learn chordal techniques with rythem patterns and a blend of classical playing finger picking for individual technique for fingers. Read More
Instruments: Drums
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Challenge yourself, and keep score. With drums it is a matter of perfecting as well as building stamina and muscle over time. Play an easy song with size C-5 sticks, add a few 16ths here and there on the hi-hat, make it game. You want to be limber, comfortable, familiar and adaptable when playing the drums. Try to play a variety of rhythms, change between them, alternate, collate, change time signature. Develop the basic rudiments of rock and jazz into a fun game when you practice and warm up alone.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Under 5 it can be hard to tell, as drums are a primal attraction of children and incredibly fun. However tapping their feet at a young age is often said to be a tell tale sign of a future drummer; as well as emulating musicians and drummers when seen in real life. Sometimes a toy drumset is a good test: some kids may blow you away with an original rhythm! If you're still unsure, see how long they can keep a rhythm in a basic hand clapping game with them or iphone/tablet synthesizer. Music and electronic technology have diverged into the ultimate child musician identifier.
When will I start to see results?
4-5 weeks.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Professor Paul Davies and Robert Hartwell at Foothill College in Los Altos both fully engulfed my in the academics of music in a way I don't think either one of them will ever realize. The effect they have had on my knowledge of music and discovery of new music was truly profound.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
It chose me to be perfectly honest. I was drumming out 7/4 on the dinner table with no training or lessons. My aunt and uncle would babysit me and take me to their marching band practice and events. The best view of my uncle playing horn would be right next to the tympani and snare in the orchestra pit. At 2 I would kick my crib in time to pink floyd and bebop jazz.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My songs and my albums.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite genres to play are rock, metal, jazz fusion and post rock. These are among the most challenging as they are the most demanding both for stamina and innovation. Jazz drums could very well be the most fun kind of music to play, and when combined with your favorite world genres the possibilities are endless. My favorite record to play front to back The Inner Mounting Flame by Mahavishnu Orchestra.
