Instruments: Drums Recorder Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion
I love teaching and seeing students progress in their skill. No student is like the next and I do my best to create an atmosphere for each student to get the most out of their time with me. I also make sure the understand how they should be practicing and the effective ways to practice. It is not as simple as saying, "Practice double strokes this week". The student needs to understand why they are learning the rudiment, tendencies of poor technique and how to monitor progress. Read More
Instruments: Drums
I teach students biased on my drum philosophy that encompass rudiments, groove, and 4 way coordination. From beginners to professionals we help drummers refine their technique, learn a variety of rudiments and how they apply those to fills and grooves, in addition to helping them to gain 4 way independence. After the student works their way through various a grooves, rudiments, and 4 way coordination exercises then they begin to learn how those skills translate into playing with an ensemble. Read More
Instruments: Trombone Euphonium Tuba
I am a passionate instructor who loves working with students of all ages. In 2016, I graduated from the University of South Carolina with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music Education and was also awarded a Trombone Performance Certificate. I have been fortunate to be able to study abroad in Ireland and perform with multiple bands and orchestras at Maynooth University and around the Kildare County area. I am currently working towards starting my graduate studies in Trombone Performance to further my performance and teaching skills. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
The best reward for me is to see how students progress. I am happy to know that I took part in that process. I also love helping students to understand the principles and applications of music theory, as well as to develop their ear with various aural skills and rhythm exercises. I strive to pass the life-long passion for music to my students in the hope that it will last for the rest of their lives. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Viola
I am an experienced and patient teacher, passionate about the versatile beauty of music and all of the ways it benefits music learners. I have been a music maker for just over 20 years, with piano as my first instrument. I began playing the viola in middle school and quickly progressed into advanced orchestras both at school and throughout the city. Though I initially intended to major in music education, once at the University of Minnesota I found myself incredibly drawn to opera. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Ukulele Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
My goal is to pass my deep love for music on to everyone that I teach. I will work hard for my students, and in return hopefully they will work hard for me. Learning to play a music instrument takes patience and discipline. The rewards are incredible, it can teach a student so much more than being able to play just music. Valuable life lessons come from playing a music instrument. Read More
Instruments: Accordion
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
No, I have been a performer not a teacher for years now. However, one of my students became very successful playing eastern european groups - polkas and rondos.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
The first big one was when I played Mozart's Rondo Ala Turk at a talent contest when I was 10 years old. I was always asked to join other kids playing instruments and the neighbors had their children take lessons from me. When I conquered (that's the only word I can use) Malaguena at twelve, I was very happy with myself and all the neighbors and friends were telling me how great I was. I went through a period of plateau, then I played in a couple or rock bands and wedding bands. I became bored when my aunt told me that I should take lessons from Chelso Ferrari - It changed the way I played and gave me a way to make money for school. But just the accomplishment of learning how to play jazz chords, is what I am most proud of.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I learned to play quickly when I started, most likely because my sister and father were playing and I heard music all the time. Like most kids, I found practice to be boring and difficult. I learned backwards, I played mostly by ear and would practice parts of classical songs until I got them right and then put them all together. I did not understand chord structure although I could play Mozart. When I began studying with Chelso Ferrari, he opened up a new world to me. It wasn't that he played better than my other teachers, which he did. But he showed me how certain chord enhancements changed the sound of almost any song! My playing got better after one lesson (I was already very advanced on the bass left hand) He showed me that I intrinsically knew what I couldn't understand technically. Then I learned what I was doing by rote and I had to really re-learn what I knew already. Then I could take any song I knew and enhance it.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Most everyone would say that playing the bass on the left hand where you can't see the butttons and then playing right hand keyboard is the hardest. It isn't. The left hand is the easiest to learn and you get used to the chord changes on the left hand almost automatically. The most difficult thing to master is playing contrapuntally with chords on the right hand. Malaguena is a killer, both right and left hands have a high degree of difficulty. Playing both hands together on that and other classical songs is really hard. However, when playing pop tunes, using the advanced chord method is also difficult to master. I don't believe I would have been able to learn the advanced chords without playing classical first.
