Music is my life. I actually enjoy teaching music and being creative with all ages and all kinds of people.

I have about 1 year of teaching experience, but as a recent college graduate I believe that I have a lot to offer musically.

I encourage consistent practice, as well as a strong emphasis on technique. Read More

I want my students to be inspired and enjoy practicing music.

I encourage practicing consistently, but I also understand when students are not able to reach an assignment; Read More

Instruments: Drums Latin Percussion Keyboard

It is vitally important that the environment of learning the drums be fun and comfortable. Nobody likes to come to a lesson stressed and nervous. This is not an audition, trust me, I've been in many of those and those are really stressful. Learning drums is going to be exciting, repertoire, and addicting, a good type of addict. Not only do I look forward to teaching a student how to play drums with me, but also learning at home with their own kit or practicing on a drum pad. Read More

Instruments: Violin

I would first begin with scales and just focus on getting the correct hand placements. After maybe one or two lessons with focusing on scales, we will then begin with Suzuki books. These books are great for getting the kids more familiar with music and also put their scale practicing to the test. Of course, the scales will still be continued however as the student progresses, we will focus less on scales and put our attention more on various classical music pieces. Read More
