Instruments: Piano Voice Music
I like to build units or goals for each student when private teaching . It helps me and the student know what needs to be worked on. I also tend to be a visual instructor , meaning I like to use tricks to teach students different vocal technique. Although I do not mind accommodating to a students needs if their instruction is to be taught differently. I want to make lessons as fun and educational as possible and I expect student to put in their input to what they want to learn. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
For piano- I teach out of several method books- Faber, Bastein, John Thompson and Alfred's. I also implement Dozen a Day for piano technique and Hanon and scales. I use Czerny for the intermediate student. For voice- I work to build a solid understanding of breath, posture, vowel sounds and shapes, singing legato, etc. I believe a classical technique in both instruments is the best foundation for growth into any style.

Instruments: Piano Cello
I strive to cultivate in all my students a lasting love for the art of music in whatever form it manifests in them. Finding what about the instrument is inspiring to the student is paramount to keeping both of us engaged in the process. As a teacher I challenge my students to explore the joy of making music with their instrument and to chase that which cultivates joy in their playing. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar
I now have 3+ years of teaching experience privatlely as well have taught in some of the local schoool system's music programs as a substitute teacher. The people I have met along the way of always added something to my life as I have hoped to have added something to theirs as well. Music is a journey in more ways than one. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Mallet Percussion
I am a multi-instrumentalist, student, and teacher who is passionate about performing and sharing music. I have been performing music at University concerts and other music venues since high school. I have composed music for various projects including a score for an original musical, "Only Human." Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
For humor, creativity, and fun are a big part of how I teach. At the same time I am serious about being disciplined in regular practice. I try to find out what my students are passionate about and use that as motivation. One thing I do compared to my past teachers is use technology. Frankly this technology did not exist when I was young! I often "sample" musical phrases and have them play on a loop. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Bass Guitar Keyboard
I'm a recent transplant to Brooklyn, NY after spending seven wonderful years studying and working in Boston! Originally from Gainesville, Florida, I first learned piano, then added saxophone, clarinet, flute, and bass in my middle and high school years. I went on to receive a Bachelor's degree from the University of Miami and a Master's degree from the New England Conservatory in Boston. I'm excited to pass my love of many genres of music onto my students through the teaching experience I've built over the years! Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Viola Fiddle
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I think the hardest thing to master on my instrument is improvisation. Recently I have been practicing improvisation both in the Bluegrass and Jazz genres on the violin, and it takes a lot of practice and creativity to be able to think quickly and put your ideas into action.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
When I practice, I liked to begin by warming up. Whether it's practicing violin, guitar, piano, or voice, I like to do some body stretches because it's important to get your whole body aligned and ready to focus. Then, I do some scales or simple exercises. During the bulk of the session, I like to focus on parts of my pieces that are difficult. I break them down and play them more slowly, and often put the melodies to different rhythms to help get the songs in my fingers. Using a metronome to keep the time and slowly increase the speed can be very helpful as well. I like to really delve into my practice, giving myself at least an hour to focus.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
For beginners, I use the Essential Elements for Strings books. I choose this method because it gives a very logical and strong foundation on position techniques and note reading. Then, once the student has begun to explore this side of written music theory, I like to introduce ear training techniques. I was partially trained in Suzuki violin, a method where you largely learn by ear. As an instrumentalist who is very comfortable both reading music and learning by ear, I know how crucial it is to have both skills. This makes you a much more versatile musician in that you are both listening carefully to the music you play and playing it precisely.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
When I was 5, I knew that I wanted to play the violin. My father and older sister both played, and I was extremely inspired by that. I loved the sweet sound of the instrument, and the fact that you could play "fiddle" music on it too.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
In high school, after a rigorous series of auditions, I was extremely proud to be selected as a first violinist for the NAfME All Eastern Orchestra (an orchestra consisting of players all over the East Coast).
At age 20, I wrote, produced, and released my first recording project called Trust a Dream. The process of conducting a band and bringing my vision to life is the musical moment I am the most excited and proud of in my life thus far.
In 2018, I was also selected both in the Spring and the Fall as a Finalist in the International John Lennon Songwriting Competition. It was extremely fulfilling to be recognized internationally for my work as a songwriter.
