Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Drums

Whether beginner or a bit more advanced, I have always liked to return to the basic foundational knowledge and techniques that must be understood well in order to advance and have a good sound and a good technique. For beginners in piano, I like to find books that the individual feels comfortable with and that they completely understand what they are getting themselves into. Every person is different. For snare drum, I like to use a book called stick control which helps students develop mastery in the way they play from precision to striking the snare drum correctly and the way they overall develop their style of playing.

My teaching style is very different depending on what works for each student so they can learn quick and easy and still make it fun for them.

After a methodical start we would launch into various selections of repertoire which all foster growth and steady challenge. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

I have been teaching for over ten years and received private instruction myself growing up.  Teaching music I'd an important part of my life. Learning music has the power to form many connections in the brain that can increase academic performance in school as well as develop a sense of expressivity. This is a concept I have kept constantly in mind throughout my teaching career. In addition to teaching, I have performed in both solo recitals and with ensembles. Read More
