Im a dedicated piano teacher whose goal is to nurture a lifelong love of music in my students. My passion for piano started at a young age and continued throughout my college years and career. I have worked with students of all ages and across different countries, successfully guiding them through formalized piano programs and garnering loyal students over the years. My passion for music extends into my 2 boys, aged 14 and 18, who play viola and clarinet in orchestra and wind ensemble at their schools in Vernon Hills. Read More

Instruments: Saxophone Clarinet

Through those years, I made sure to always keep my door open to anyone who was seeking advice about music. While in my undergrad, I also had summers of teaching marching band and being a camp counselor. These experiences equipped me to not only educate kids musically but to mentor them as a role model in life. I have always taken advantage of an opportunity to learn and I feel as though I am able to instill that into my students when I work with them. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Music Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I have a strong background in the fingerpicking style so I naturally gravitate towards the acoustic guitar. But my teaching style overall has more to do with expression and feel. Developing control with both hands. Understanding the importance of intonation. And most importantly, listening to your instrument. Afterall, music is how we hear sounds we like. Over time, how we listen will help us play better to further our ability as musicians. Read More

My teaching style obviously is contingent on the level and interests of the student I am paired with. When it comes to guitar and bass, it depends mostly on whether the student is interested in learning songs, or becoming a well rounded musician. If songs is the main goal, we'll start with the easiest levels of the styles the student is interested in and work our way forward, focusing on timing and rhythm at first. Read More

Instruments: Trombone Euphonium Tuba

The most important thing that I can teach a student is good habits. One of my first teachers always said "I'm not here to teach you to play the trombone, I'm here to teach you how to practice the trombone." That has esentially been my teaching philosophy since then. The half hour to an hour that I would be spending with a student each week is not enough time to turn them into a great trombone player, so the most important thing to do in lessons is to teach them how to practice the instrument when I am not in the room with them.
