Instruments: Violin Cello Viola Fiddle Music

I started teaching almost 10 years ago as a way to fill my weekly schedule with musical things.  I've always really enjoyed the challenge of teaching, whether it be a musical or personal one.  As a teacher, I draw upon my experiences as a student, thinking what I needed that I didn't get or what I experienced that I didn't like, and vice versa.  As a student, I didn't like to practice, I didn't like to go to concerts, and I didn't think what I did was special.

Instruments: Drums

My teaching experience dates back to France (2008) when I started teaching music theory to children between the ages of 8-14. I had a class of about 10 or 15 kids and we worked on solfege, theory, and singing. During that time I was also teaching drums in the same school and privately in my house in Normandy, France. I emphasized two keys points of success to my students: always come to your lessons and always put in the time to do your practicing. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Saxophone Flute Clarinet

My first steps into teaching were as a camp counselor at a local music summer camp in Shaker Heights from 2008-2012. During that time I had a few students who were just beginning to play saxophone and clarinet. Those experiences coupled with phenomenal teachers throughout high school inspired me to pursue a bachelor's degree in Music Education at Ithaca College. During my collegiate years I continued honing my abilities and knowledge of all the instruments I play while also studying music theory, conducting, and composition along with researching pedagogical approaches.
