Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums
I've been teaching guitar for the past four years and drums for 10. My favorite thing about teaching is when a student gets to a playing level they didn't think possible. Seeing the transformation is the most rewarding part of the job for me, because I know first hand how good it feels to improve and progress. To see that same sense of acomplishment in others makes me happy because I know the lessons and skills learned are life long and invaluable. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Music Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
I love teaching Voice and have a particular affinity for meeting the needs of the student. Every voice is unique, and should be treated as such with careful consideration. I instill pedagogical principles for healthy singing in all my students. I help students establish their goals/interests, and we achieve them through fun and engaging warm ups and appropriate repertoire. I received a Masters Degree in Vocal Performance and taught at the Collegiate Level at The University of Alabama. Read More
Instruments: Trombone Bass Guitar Euphonium Tuba
I first started teaching during my sophomore year in college, teaching students how to prepare for the Iowa All-State Music Festival. I taught these students throughout my college years and saw many of them become successful trombone players, plus a few are now great band directors. Since I graduated college in 2013 I've been invited to be a brass clinician for multiple schools, a middle school solo contest judge, and as a musician in a wide variety of ensembles I work with fellow colleagues to create a memorable performance that audiences will enjoy.

Instruments: Piano Voice
I was raised in a musical home in New York City suburbia. Therefore, I was constantly surrounded by the sound of music. My parents were classical violinists and my older brother and I quickly developed a love for making music. I want my students to love it as much as I did when I started studying it. When I was five, I began classical piano studies with Elena Belli at Manhattan School of Music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I have been with Musika in the Nashville/Brentwood area for ten years after a twelve year hiatus from teaching. Before touring as a full-time artist starting in 1998 I had already taught piano and voice for fourteen years in the Los Angeles area. Some of my former students are themselves music teachers and professional musicians. I can give recommendations if need be. I have been a professional musician for over thirty years. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard
My performance experience started at a very young age and consisted of entertaining myself in front of the mirror (at age 2), and creating shows for family. I started doing musicals and concerts at church around age 4 and entered community theatre around age 6. My enthusiasm for the performing arts continued to grow throughout childhood, and my teenage years. I started private Voice lessons at age 16 and studied Musical Theatre at Kent State University for the first two years of college. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Organ Synthesizer Keyboard
I am a traditional piano teacher. I strongly believe that building skills work: Sight-Reading, Ear Training, Understanding the structure(theory), and playing a variety of good repertoire works. When you teach these foundations - I learned to improvise, interprete, arrange, and create easier. The fundamentals do not mean you can't have fun - to me it explores and opens up the fun of singing or playing this marvelous instrument . So I believe in teaching a. Read More

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I, like many other kids my age dreamed of being a rockstar but something more than the looks and swagger of the guitar drew me to it. It is a very personal instrument. I loved the idea that I could take it anywhere with me, unlike a giant piano! I could play it soft or I could wail away on it as loud as I wanted. It is an instrument that can accompany others or shine on its own and is quite limitless. But, back to the rockstar ideal, all of my favorite musicians were guitar players. From Stevie Ray Vaughn and Buddy Guy to Segovia and Villa Lobos.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I was very fortunate to be able to start taking lessons when I first picked up my instrument and continue taking those lessons up until I left for college. I had the same teacher from 14 years old to 19 which is when I went to college. He was and still is a phenomenal teacher! He encouraged me to learn many styles and incorporated music theory into my lessons as well which I find can be somewhat lost when learning the guitar. When I got to college I had the honor of studying with one of Canada's most renowned classical guitarists whom, while very hard on me, was very inspiring! Those two have made me the player and the teacher I am today!
When will I start to see results?
I get this question all the time. If you are a beginner just picking up your instrument for the first time and you are practicing efficiently you should see results fairly quickly. However, this question completely depends on how much time is being spend practicing. As a beginning guitar player I had to start out practicing in short segments in order for my fingers to get in shape and stop hurting. Once the calluses on my fingers got stronger I was able to practice for longer periods of time and began to notice results faster. The more you practice, as long as it is done efficiently, the more results you will see.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Always start with a warm up! I can't tell you how many times as a young kid I ignored that advice! Thankfully I smartened up and always warm up now. It is also very, very important to make sure you practice at least a short time each and every day versus trying to practice for one long session at the end of a long week. I also encourage to take whatever you may be working on, whether it be from your lesson or a separate piece of work, that you break it up into small sections. If what your working on is something like an ABA format, then focus on A before moving onto B rather than playing through the whole thing start to finish over, and over and over again, like so many of us like to do.
