Instruments:
Mary has primarily studied classical trumpet, but also has training in jazz and world music. She currently plays principal trumpet in the Bravura Philharmonic and occasionally performs with the Philharmonic of Southern New Jersey and the Orchestra Society of Philadelphia. She’s also a member of the Marietta Brass Quintet, which performs throughout the Delaware County area. She’s been involved in many performance groups including but not limited to the Vassar Wind Ensemble, Penn Orchestra, Marsyas Ensemble and numerous Purchase Conservatory ensembles including the symphony orchestra, graduate brass quintet, Latin jazz orchestra, klezmer ensemble, and the new music ensemble. Mary also teaches beginner piano to all ages.
Instruments:
I have had many experiences teaching piano, voice, guitar, and ukulele both in private lessons and in a therapeutic context. I have also conducted youth choirs and done performances in churches, been in several operas and musicals, and played open mic.
Instruments:
I love teaching drum lessons and have been doing so full time since 2001. My musical career began with the U.S. Army Band in 1987 with which I got to travel throughout the southeastern U.S. and Germany. I also had the opportunity to play for President George H. Bush during my tour of duty. My education includes a diploma from the U.S. Armed Forces School of Music, a BA in music from Mansfield University of PA, and a MM in jazz studies from Georgia State University. Recently I have been playing around the United States with a variety of acts, including an Elton John Tribute act called Almost Elton John www.almosteltonjohn.com. I have recently relocated to the Philadelphia area from Atlanta and am looking to rebuild my student roster, so my schedule is pretty open at the moment. Please feel free to request me if you feel like I would be a good match for you.
Instruments:
Each student is unique and I cater my teaching style to the specific needs of the student. The key is teaching students how to identify problems for themselves and how to practice to fix them. In addition I believe that learning music should be fun! This is the reason that I got into music and continue it to this day.
Instruments:
I encourage students to pick the music they want to play. For those who have no prior music knowledge at all, there are numerous beginning methods that are satisfactory. I teach harmony and ear training at a level in agreement with ability of the fingers to execute. It is so nice to learn to play by ear, (starting with very simple tunes) going from the brain to the keyboard without the crutch of the paper score. Of course this is the objective of preparation (study, practice) anyway, so the emotional feeling that the composer intended can be experienced and interpreted (and communicated to the audience) in a wonderful, magical way.
