Instruments: Piano Voice Synthesizer Keyboard

I began teaching private lessons in 2006 while working for Walt Disney World Entertainment in Orlando, Florida. I have maintained a studio of at least two students everywhere I have moved, and most recently taught music for a Montessori program and comnnnity college in the Virgin Islands. I build healthy, classically trained voices that are capable of stylizing to fit any genre; and being a composer myself, I teach piano from a musically interpretive viewpoint. Read More

Instruments: Piano Violin Cello Viola Music Keyboard

My lessons are very structured and fun. I incorporate games, visual aids, physical application, and live demonstrations to help appeal to the different styles. I do expect a high level of commitment from students while still being understanding that life doesnt always allow us to practice hours and hours a day. Since I do provide a lot of information within each lesson, I add a 5 minute break (if needed) to help clear the mind or just rest the eyes/arms since staring at music for a long period of time or holding up an instrument for a long period of time can be quite taxing.

Instruments: Flute Recorder Piccolo

I always encourage my students with praise and no matter how hard the music difficulty might be or how frustrating it may seem at the time, I let my students know they can always come to me to get help. I want my students to enjoy playing flute and not be frustrated and think of it like "homework" they should want to pick up their flute and play and find challenging music they want to learn.
