Instruments: Voice

I love music and performing and sharing my love of those with all of my students. I love seeing a student master a new skill and utilize it going forward on new material. I graduated from The Manhattan School of Music in 2014 but have been singing professionally since 2010. I am constantly learning new techniques to implement with my students. I am currently an active opera singer and cantor in the Tampa Bay Area. Read More

The single commonality among all my students is maintaining a fun atmosphere in the midst of productivity. As artist, we should never take ourselves too seriously. It's counterproductive and creates tension both physically and socially.We strive to captivate audiences. Why not do the same in rehearsal? There's no point in being profound if you're not relatable. I always push my students to be true to how the writer wrote the piece. Read More

Instruments: Piano

I have been teaching piano lessons for five years, while at college and since I have graduated.  I like to keep things interesting for the student by devoting portions of the lesson times to different activities, which include technique and theory along with their regular lesson pieces.  I also use incentives to increase their practice times between lessons, which, in turn, increases their sense of accomplishment!

I begin with developing sheet music literacy in my students right off the bat if they have no experience in reading music. I believe music literacy is one of the most important aspects of learning an instrument. I've always said, "not being able to read sheet music is like trying to be a writer who can't read, it makes no sense". I also begin with teaching proper form. Meaning how to hold the instrument and how to use proper technique. Read More

Born and breed in a musical family, Ihave played music since age 6, that was 50 some odd years ago. Music is the most consistently therapeutic experiencein my life. A form of "instant Karma", it gives back what you put into it.While a young adult, I wrestled with performing/teachingmusic as a career. At the time music paid the basic bills, but did not provide an income that would support a family. Read More

My Teaching experience with playing the guitar is correlated to my experience as a Florida Teacher. I spent a lot of time using the guitar to build rapport and create positive teacher/student relationships that motivated students to achieve not only with the guitar but their academics as well. I have plenty of experience teaching students how to change chords, finger placement between frets, and surviving sore finger syndrome. Lol I encourage my students to practice on a daily basis and to focus on their right hand techniques as well as chord mastering. Read More
