In 2012, I graduated from The Peabody Conservatory with a Bachelor of Music degree in Violin performance with Ms.Violaine Melancon. I also earned a Masters of Music degree in Violin performance/Peadagody with Mr.Herbert Greenberg in 2012. As a violinist, it is an incredible experience to perform on the stage and gets applause from the audiences. I wanted to share that experiences with students so decided to teach more students.

Instruments: Piano

I have used Hal Leonard and Bastien. If the parent has a older method book they wish to use I start there and fill in as I see needed. I encourage a slow start to get all the basics understood, then progress at the student's own pace and interests. Handouts and charts are supplemented as most students can't afford all the music books requested in a series. If a student feels frustrated then a short walk from piano to the other side of the room shaking out the arms and fingers gets us back on track. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

I believe that a good teacher helps students teach themselves. Most of a students learning will be done on his or her own at home or in a practice room, so a teacher must give them the necessary tools to succeed, as well as constant support and encouragement. My goal is to teach healthy, grounded singing, no matter what musical style my students are interested in pursuing. I focus on balanced and centered body alignment, accurate body mapping, an easy breathing technique, and vibrancy/flexibility in sound. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Oboe Music

I have been teaching in classrooms and after-school programs for over twenty years, and in 2023 began teaching music lessons in my home studio. I grew up playing music and participating in school bands and orchestras, but spent the first half of my adulthood in careers unrelated to music. I have found that my formal music education did not prepare me for the music-making that I find most rewarding today--making music collaboratively and casually with friends. Read More

My teaching experiencess date back to my college days. Along with the pianoI also played the French Horn, Saxophone, Marimba and sang in voice studio. Those experiences allowed me to be in marching bands, symphonic bands,wind ensemble, choir, vocal jazz andaccompany other musicians on the piano. I'd say that in my second year in the Universityof Oregon marching band whenI auditioned for the pit and was chosen to play themarimba I was soooo excited! Read More
