Instruments: Piano Trumpet
For beginning trumpet students, I start with a combination of Clark and Arbank Technical studies for a formal structure. A majority of the technical teaching I do is based on these two methods. I also implement techniques from the Sheridan and Pilafian Breathing Gym to establish the fundamental mechanics of generating sound. For all students, regardless of ability, lessons will have some foundation in the breath and the mechanics of breathing. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music
I love singing! I feel so lucky to have performed for some of the greatest singers of our time: Rene Elise Goldsberry (Broadway), Jennifer Rowley (Metropolitan Opera), Kristine Opolais (Met), Ailyn Perz (Met), and Lisette Oropesa (Met). I have also performed in venues and companies all over the world: Thailand, Hawaii, Italy, and Austria. My goal as a teacher is to share what I have learned from the best of the best and from around the globe to help ALL my students reach their full potential and thrive as a musician. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trombone Keyboard
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing real life results from my students. Setting concrete goals is very important for me and my students, weather that be to get into all-state or to be able to play a scale at a certain bpm. First and foremost, I hope to cultivate passion in my students. I believe that when a student is passionate they can learn to teach themselves and my job is to provide that student with as many different tools as possible. Read More
Instruments: Voice Saxophone Flute Recorder Tuba
I grew up with a Pianist and Music Theory Professor as a mother; I learned to read music at the same time as I learned to read English. Music has never lost that early childhood sense of wonder for me, and so it's my primary goal to share that with others. More importantly, I want to help people of all ages develop their own musical voice and directive. So my teaching style is a combination of 2 things: Teaching a student how to practice (that is, improve their fundamental skill set towards mastery of an instrument) their instrument, and helping the student develop their musical identity and interests.

Instruments: Drums
I began teaching private lessons full time recently and have my own home studio for in-person and online Skype lessons. I always felt my passion was to become a teacher and I also have self-published my own drum rudiment book called "Learning Rudiments". I am a serious student of the drums as I regularly take online lessons, watch practice videos, and listen to drum teaching podcasts to pick up the latest advice. Read More
Instruments: Drums
I’ve been playing drums for about 35 years. I’ve toured the entire US including some European countries. I’ve been on record labels, played many live shows of all types. I’ve also c-written songs, produced, engineered, and performed on quite a few successful albums. I started drumming in the 5th grade and continued through high school. I then starting focusing on performance and song writing. I joined some original bands and began building those songs and albums to make those bands successful. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone
I am someone who believes that nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! That's why it is so important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone Flute Piccolo Music
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
After I started Flute in 6th grade, I realized I really wanted to play in the Jazz band at my middle school and wanted to learn an instrument that would translate well from the Flute, so I picked the Saxophone.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Music runs in my family both sides. My grandfather on my father's side is a musician and multiinstrumentalist that played in Tito Puente's band for a number of years! My cousin on my mother's side was a professional drummer for a number of years.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream place to perform would have to be Smalls Jazz Club in New York City. It's always been my dream to live in New York and play in jazz clubs with some of the worlds most creative and innovative living musicians.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I weren't a musician I'd probably be a professional chess player or a movie script writer. I've always found it to be refreshing to have a creative outlet.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love every genre of music I play and it's nearly impossible for me to pick an overall favorite, but I'd say that this past year I've been enjoying playing and learning about Jazz the most.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I am at Seminole State College of Florida pursuing my Associate in Arts degree. I've finished the music program and just have a few prerequisites left until my degree. I will then pursue my bachelors in the next year.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
For me, a normal practice session starts with at least 20 minutes of long tones with a tuner and a metronome. I then move on to scale patterns or etudes with a metronome for another 15 to 20 minutes. From there, depending on what I'm focusing on at the time, I'll either practice a piece and do small fine tuning or do recordings of myself playing songs and listening back to them to critique myself.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
When I teach beginners, I sometimes like to use Hal Leonard method books. For my intermediate and advanced students that can already comfortably read music, I like to focus more on unique scale patterns or etude books. For my jazz musicians, I like using books by Chad Lefkowitz-Brown.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
The musical accomplishments I'm most proud of are: Winning my high school concerto competition on Flute, playing Flute in a concert with the Orlando Symphony Orchestra, and performing on Saxophone at the Orlando Museum of Art with my Jazz Band. I'm also very happy to be the lead alto player in the Orlando Big Band.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
My high school students have earned various awards and special honors at in-school competitions including but not limited to: solo and ensemble, superlative awards, all-state ensembles and concerto competitions.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose my primary instruments through middle school band class. In the beginning of my 6th grade year, our band director tested all of the new band students out on every instrument and we ended up playing the instrument we naturally resonated with the most.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
Ever since I started playing the instruments I knew I wanted to perform and teach music for a living. There wasn't really a single moment that made me realize my passion for music. I believe picking up an instrument for the first time jumpstarted the passion I already had for music from an extremely early age.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing I've had to master on my Saxophone is the ability to demonstrate consistent and coherent voice leading on jazz standards during improvising. The most difficult classical music I've ever performed in classical music was the Carmen Fantasy by Francois Bourne on the Flute. It's hard to pin one concept or technique that's harder than the others to master, but if I had to pick one for any instrument, I'd say phrasing and tone.
