Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Recorder Piccolo Mallet Percussion Music Keyboard
My teaching experience dates back to when I was still in high school. I would go to middle schools and give lessons. Now as a college music graduate, I have taught many ages including college peers. I think it is important to teach skills and methods that will help the student problem-solve and continue to learn even when they are alone. My students have done well in auditions and chair tests, and I always encourage both recitals and competitions. Read More
Instruments: Piano Clarinet
I have loved music my entire life, and I am a fun, knowledgeable and dedicated teacher of both the clarinet and the piano. After graduating with a clarinet performance degree from the New England Conservatory of Music in 2007, I have performed in many Boston and New Hampshire-area orchestras. I am originally from the very small town of Barryville, NY, and my orchestral career has taken me to wonderful concert halls like Boston's Symphony Hall, Clevelan'ds Blossom Music Center, and New York's Carnegie Hall.

Instruments: Violin
I am a 19 year-old student of Baptist College of Ministry in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. Having grown up the second oldest of five siblings, I understand how to relate to other people and work with them even in difficult situations. As a Christian, I believe in good character principles and righteous living. I ultimately desire the best for others rather than myself. With a life of teaching ahead of me, I am constantly seeking better ways of instructing students, relating with their issues, and helping them find the best way to success. Read More
Instruments: Drums Mallet Percussion Latin Percussion
Over the years I have larned invaluable lessons about drum kit instruction. Teaching many different students with many different personalities, lesson needs, practice habits, and so on has led me to develop a flexability in my teaching that allows the individual student to get the most from each lesson. I encourage my students to push their musical boundaries and reach beyond what they belive they are capable of. I have found that at the end of the sometimes frustrating road to achievement lies the feeling of success that propels learning. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
Every student has a unique learning style. With more than 30 years of experience, I tune in to each student’s best learning style to make the most of our lesson time. My graduate studies focused on human performance, including motivation. I have developed skill and comfort in teaching virtually and have a professional account with Zoom. I’m fully vaccinated and will teach in person with both students and teacher fully masked. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Set a routine and stick to it! With that though, avoid getting into ruts. Don't practice the same thing over and over again just because it is easy or you sound good on it. While repetition is good and necessary, make sure you stretch yourself and attempt something new when you can. Sight reading is a great way to accomplish this. It's also a fantastic way to develop all of your skills and musicality. Finally make sure every practice session includes something you hate doing i.e. a difficult exercise, scales, whatever, and something you love doing, i.e a favorite song or etude. Finding these balances will make your practice sessions fly by and be extremely effective.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If they show interest, they are ready. Generally if they can count to 10 and know their ABCs and can focus on a task for 20+ minutes, they can take lessons. I recommend not starting them off with brass or singing lessons until they are at least 10 years old. Most kids simply don't have the lung development until that age to really be successful. If they are interested in playing a wind instrument or singing, it is usually best to start them off with piano and then work those other things in. I have developed breathing exercises for younger students that go well with playing piano to get them into good habits so when they reach a good age, they are set up for success.
When will I start to see results?
This is a very difficult to answer and very loaded question. Every student is different. While it is my job to give a student the tools for success, the practice time at home between lessons is where the real progress is made. My true job is to teach a student HOW to practice, so that when they practice, they are successful. The student must take it upon themselves to take what they have earned in lessons and practice at home. If a students has difficulties practicing at home, then we can work on finding a way to make them want to practice. Practicing is the absolute only way to get better at music. Coming into lessons unprepared will never work out for the student.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I have had many teachers who have inspired me to be a musician. From a very young age, my parents saw and nurtured my musical desires. My father sang in community and church groups and my mother was always singing. My first grade school music teacher got me involved in the school choir and band. My biggest influence as I grew up and decided to go into music as a profession was definitely
