Instruments: Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I have been teaching guitar for over 15 years, and have taught students of all ages and ability levels, including at many music schools and at the college levelat Century College in Minnesota. As a guest teacher, I have given many masterclasses both in the United States and Europe. While I primarily perform as a classical guitarist, I have extensive experience both teaching and playing other styles, including rock, folk, jazz, blues and pop. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone Clarinet
This experience made me realize that you can do a lot and learn a lot in small numbers. It also is the reason that I have continued to play and perform in my adult life and share this passion. I have attended and performed in many concert, folk, jazz, polka, bands. I have assisted many peers in learning complicated music as well as taught ages 9 to 18 for middle and high school band assistance. Read More
Instruments: Piano Clarinet
I have experience teaching clarinet all ages and different levels (from the beginners to a more advanced). Through this I developed the ability to better understand the learning process for students who may or may not have much experience with music or have more or less developed music skills. Since myself I have been exposed to a few different cultures, I became more flexible with having more methods and approaches for teaching. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
In the voice studio I am a kind and nurturing teacher - no matter the age or level of the singer. Above all, I strive to instruct healthy, beautiful singing. I absolutely believe in choosing music for a student that will help improve specific areas of vocal technique, but also music about which the student feels passionate. Singing should feel like a release and it should be rewarding. I remember looking forward to voice lessons and getting so excited to watch my voice grow and get better. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I'm a laid-back but passionate music instructor who really enjoys teaching students of all ages and all ability levels. I have been teaching regularly for 5 years and have learned immensely from the experiences myself, which I use to better teach students now. I have earned degrees from the Cleveland Institute of Music and the University of Illinois, and have performed as a soloist and collaborative pianist throughout the Midwest and East Coast. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Fiddle Keyboard
My experiences teaching are fundamentally positive in nature. I know each student is different and unique in his or her way. I also teach lessons in German and/or English as needed. Setting a goal at the first lesson is important to me. I provide recitals twice a year for both strings and piano. For piano I offer a grand piano sent back from Vienna, refurbished and beautiful in tone. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I am classically trained but I also compose music extensively on a daily basis . I have had a life long passion for music and started playing when I was eight years old. I am currently the pianist for the ballet program at Macalester College, LIse Houlton's professional class at MDT, the Metropolitan Ballet, and Ballet Minnesota. Growing up I studied 10 years with Yakov Gelfand, Phd from St. Petersburg Conservatory. I also studied in Hungary with Gulays Istvan, professor at the Franz List Conservatory in Budapest. Read More
Instruments: Trombone
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I feel like I have had several accomplishments and awards with music, but the things I’m most proud of are the moments I’ve had as a teacher. There is just no feeling cooler than watching something click for one of your students, and watching them grow and create their own accomplishments.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I originally wanted to play the flute, and they stuck me on trombone! I was so upset at first, but they told me I would get more scholarships being a girl trombone player, haha! While this wasn’t true, this is what got me started! I was very bad when I started and couldn’t even make a sound on my instrument. However, once I finally figured it out, I fell in love with my instrument and it has been a huge part of my life ever since!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Breaking things apart! When practice sessions aren’t going how we would like them to, often it’s because you are trying to process more information than your brain can handle in the moment. This can look like breaking it down to a few measures at a time, or breaking down the elements (play only the rhythm, play only the notes, etc).
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Lessons are for every student at every level! A student is ready to be in lessons if they’re ready to put time and dedication into their instrument. If students are not prepared to work on their instrument outside of their lesson, they might not be ready for the commitment to lessons.
When will I start to see results?
Results as a musician are like results from working out. Every time you work out, you’re getting stronger, but you might not see muscle definition for a while. Some elements can give instant gratification, but most of the skills we work on might not feel that different until there is a large change. This is because the progress we make as musicians happens a little bit at a time.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I was always inspired by my band directors! As a child, I loved band. I was truly a band kid at heart and put everything I had into it. All of my directors were very encouraging and helpful, and gave me lessons (as this wasn’t something available to me at my school). As I’ve gone through college, I have had several teachers that were very encouraging and have inspired me to be the same for my students.
