I am a professional level violinist who has been playing for almost ten years.

I’ve had the opportunity to sing everywhere from Cape Cod with the College Light Opera Company, Wooster, Ohio with the Ohio Light Opera, and even several choir competitions in Europe! Read More

Instruments: Piano

I spend several lessons getting to know the student, what their music interests are, what they have previously learned and then tailor lessons to the individual student. I encourage them to stretch beyond the familiar while providing a very individualistic approach to their lessons. In the very near future, I hope to be able to provide online lessons as well as in my studio or the student's home. Read More

Instruments: Piano

My style involves around having a "recital" piece that we work on at all times, as well as technical exercises and different games to increase music theory, rhythm, sight reading, ear training, etc. We set goals and work to accomplish them in a timely manner. I always take time to make sure you as the student are comprehending what I'm explaining to you. Some technical instruction is done with arpeggios, scales, chords, etc., but in general, I try to keep the lesson as interesting as possible so that we can have fun while learning! Read More

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Double Bass Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar

My curriculum varies depending on what instrument and style the student is learning. For orchestral string instruments I use the Suzuki method books but also others. The Simandl book for bassist is an amazing resource as well. Modern Reading Text by Louis Bellson is a great book for improving not only your rhythm reading ability but also sight reading. For guitar it really depends on what the student wants to focus on. Read More

Everytime they hit a learning curve, it was one I had already conquered and could easily explain. Several of those students are now full-time musicians, both bassists and guitarists. We still keep in touch. I love teaching in general, and I love absolutely everything about teaching music, but my favourite reward is watching a student progress to a level of understanding that leaves them capable enough to teach themselves. When all the pieces are in place. Read More
