Instruments: Piano Voice
For young beginner piano students, I keep the number of books to a minimum so lessons dont become too overwhelming, and in order to help them stay organized. I often recommend the first Alfred All-inOne book, plus a Just the Facts music theory book which students love because there are fun games and activities at the end of each lesson. Once the student has learned enough fundamentals, I will recommend other books and provide supplemental material. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
My first passion has always and will always be music. I have been involved in music performance all my life, from singing in church at the age of four to being in performing arts magnet programs at Hyattsville Middle School and Suitland High School. I formed a love for psychology later in life. Fortunately, I have found a field of study that will allow me to pursue both at once, music therapy. Read More

I am an experienced woodwind teacher and in the past seven years I have helped many students with their school music, audition materials, and/or music for pure enjoyment.

I have been the member of several local symphonic band and pit orchestra of Long Island, NY region until 2011. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola
I have been sharing my love of music and teaching students for more than 10 years. I strongly believe in encouraging my students to practice and set up goals that would help them grow. These goals include learning a new challenging piece, getting prepared for a recital, audition or competition. I believe in helping my students with learning how to practice on their own and being able to work independently from our lessons. 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.
