Instruments: Piano Cello
Music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I enjoy sharing the magic of music with others as both a performer and instructor. I studied piano, cello and engineering at USC and Duke University. I've had the pleasure of serving as a section cellist with various orchestras throughout my career in Georgia and South Carolina. I've studied piano with Dr. Frothingham and cello with Dr. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar
For beginning students, I teach with a method that would not "reinvent the wheel" learning notes on they instrument which makes sense to them easily. A,B,C, etc.. Once the notes are know without thought, they will have knowledge of how music is taught in the industry and from lesson plans like Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Everyone is unique (as GOD has made us) and there are unique ways one can grasp learning music..... Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I started to learn piano at 6 and it became my soul mate of my life. I just graduated from Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins University in Graduate Performance Diploma in piano performance major. During the past year, I won the full assistantship to be as a full-time teaching assistant in keyboard skill for non-piano majors. I teach undergrad students. There I met all kind of students in different majors with different piano levels from beginners to advanced players. Read More

My background is partly as a local performer, and partly as a long-time music teacher. Teaching has allowed me to make thousands of meaningful connections with my students, both as a mentor and instructor, and has given my life purpose and meaning for over 15 years. Music in general has also allowed me to travel across the country, and given me the opportunity to experience the wonderful music of talented musicians both young and old, and has instilled in me a passion to put as much of that into the world as possible.

Instruments: Piano Voice
My teaching experience began during college, roughly four years ago, while teaching several private students during a summer break. While studying music in college, I received training in topics such as keyboard pedagogy, keyboard literature, collaborative piano, improvisation, music theory, and musicianship (aural skills). I worked as a Music Theory/Musicianship Grader and Tutor for several years, and I assisted in some group piano classes. For the past three years, I have spent a lot of time working as a collaborative pianist for vocalists and instrumentalists, performing in juries, recitals, and other student evaluations. Read More
Instruments: Piano Organ
I began teaching in 2000. I was very fortunate to have had very qualified teachers throughout my career. When I was in college, I asked my professor, "How do you teach?" And his response was, "Teach as you have been taught." My teachers have included Donald Sutherland, Dame Gillian Weir, David Higgs, Corey McVicar, Carol Prochazka, and more. A few of my teachers trace their lineage from Leon Fleisher, to Schnabel, to Leschetizky, to Czerny, and finally to Beethoven! Read More
Instruments: Piano Clarinet
I am a passionate and determined instructor who loves music and its culture. I believe Music builds character and self esteem. It creates Magic like no other! I love sharing my love for music and I love it even more while connecting with the youth. I have been playing piano for 19 years. I also have been playing the Clarinet for 16 years. I graduated from Virginia State University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music with a a concentration of Clarinet. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
If you play something wrong, don’t go back and play it only once wrong. You need to play it a few times correctly. If you play it once wrong and once right, when you go back and do it again, you will most likely play it wrong again. Sometimes it is helpful to practice the tricky sections first a few times before doing a run through of the whole piece.
Young students should commit to practicing 15-20 minutes at least 5 days per week. Older students should commit to practicing 30+ minutes at least 5 days per week.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Violins come in many sizes and so this is a good instrument for young children to play! If your child can follow simple instructions, has good behavior, and can commit to regular practice, your child is ready for lessons. Violin and piano can be started at a very young age. The children do not need to know how to read or have any prior music experience. Students who do not yet know how to read will need a parent to help with practice sessions, but older students should be able to practice without assistance. I would suggest waiting until about age 8 to start the viola.
When will I start to see results?
This really depends on what you consider “results!” Students will learn how to play some music on their instrument in the very first lesson. Progress depends on many factors. Older students tend to progress faster than younger students. Natural ability plays a role in instrument proficiency as well. Even more than natural ability, however, is how much time and focus the students spend on their instrument during the week. I have had students with not much ability be really successful through hard work and diligence!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My mom actually inspired me the most to go into music. She was (and still is) a piano teacher. Music was the norm in my childhood home. I began to have an interest in violin at age 2. My mom started teaching me piano at age 4 and then allowed me to take violin lessons at age 7. She taught me the importance of regular practice, making sure that it was done even when I would rather be doing something else. As I got into my teenage years, she provided me the opportunity to do some student teaching. I helped with group piano classes and taught some private violin lessons for a reduced rate.
