Instruments: Clarinet

Music has always felt right whenever I perform. I decided in high school to be a music major after participating in many honor festivals. I have leaned a numerous amount of knowledge from my clarinet teachers in the past few years and know that there is always something else to learn. I have dedicate time to a local high school by working with their clarinets as well as coaching small ensembles. Read More

I do like cover a lot of ground in my teaching. This is why we learn everything from to read, write music, harmony, rudiments or scales, warmup exercises, music theory, playing songs, improvising, and more!!! I use multiple books, techniques and resources acquired both through Berklee College of Music as well as others I've studied along the way. I always try to customize classes to the student's primary needs (learn songs, play in a band, learn music, etc). Read More

Instruments: Piano Keyboard

It is rewarding to teach piano.  If a student is really interested in learning, it is such a pleasure.  If they are young, I usually use a book that includes cartoons between lessons.  For adults I use an adult book, but try to include a solo that they can handle that relates to a season or something they are interested in playing. There are many books on the market. I usually chose one that suits the students personality. Read More

I typically teach with method books as references for younger students, occasionally using printouts to give to students to take home and study in order to have a better undertanding of what was gone over in class. As students become more proficient in music reading and theory understanding, we develop an understanding of what the student would prefer to learn in regards to genre and focus on that, and the technical aspects of playing that lead to proficiency in that genre and style.

Instruments: Piano

Seeing my students develop a passion for music is very rewarding. Each student progresses to their own pace; no rush whatsoever. Setting goals that they can achieve will encourage them to progress on track. Acknowledging their accomplishments will keep their desire to continue learning more. I recommend that when they practice, to have them play it for an audience, like family or friends. That way they can be comfortable playing for others because when they are put into recitals, Student Day, the National Guild of Piano Teachers, etc. they'll be able to play at ease, and at the same time, enjoy it too.
