Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part time , and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio . Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Trumpet Bass Guitar Ukulele Keyboard Electric Guitar Djembe Acoustic Guitar
I'm here to help the student. We all were students at one point and I remember how I felt in the learning stages. I'm just trying to help the student understand their instrument and assist while bringing confidence to venture the possibilities they can have with that instrument. My teaching style is a fun and simple one. I always say that practice is the best teacher but as an instructor in here to help with the journey. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion
I also strongly believe in the power of performance and having the opportunity to share what you learn and enjoy with others, so depending on the age I always strongly encourage finding performance opportunities of any kind, playing/practicing with friends, studying abroad, etc. However, as I said, every student is different, so these approaches have to be flexible in order to successfully accommodate my instruction to each individual student.

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Euphonium Tuba Music Keyboard
I am a driven and holistic instructor that finds meaning, passion, and understanding from sharing music with others. I graduated from Northern Illinois University, in 2021 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Trombone Performance. During my time at NIU, I studied with Jeremy Moeller, principal trombone of the Lyric Opera of Chicago. As a former member of the Cavalier's Drum and Bugle Corp, I have traveled around the country performing for various crowds with some of the best young brass players in the country. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I believe that each student has something unique to bring to the table, and that students should feel that they are valued because of their cultural identities, not in spite of them. I also believe that music in itself can be used as a means through which the world can be impacted for good. Bringing students to a positive outlet such as this, can bring about passion within themselves, for both music and other issues in the world, music being the way they express this passion and use it to send a message.

Instruments: Piano Flute Piccolo
I have been playing piano and flute/piccolo for 17 years now and my love for music has only gotten stronger. In the winter of 2009, I graduated from Roosevelt University with a Bachelor of Musical Arts degree in Piano Performance. Also, I am currently working on my Master of Arts degree in Musicology/Music History at the University of Iowa (I still need to complete my thesis). As a musician, I have performed in numerous competitions, recitals, church services, weddings, and even several funerals. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
My teaching style is fun, focused, and efficient. I like to keep the environment positive and encouraging, as that is what helps a student progress the most! When a student first starts lessons, we establish a few goals to accomplish over the semester, such as "become more confident" or, "learn a foreign language piece". With these in mind, I will teach the lessons, pick warm ups, and select repertoire (with the student) accordingly! Read More
Instruments: Piano
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
The piano was the first instrument that I played after that there was no debate. The piano should be the first choice of instruments for all parents because of the following reasons:
It uses both hands and all 10 fingers
By using both hands in unison the piano helps to correct mirror movement tendencies
The piano develops aural skills
The brain processes music and language in the same regions and at the same time and at one location they actually overlap. Therefore, when playing the piano the brain is developing and integrating:
language
spatial-temporal reasoning skills and many more too numerous too list here.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My Senior Recital Performance when I played 30 minutes of Bach, Chopin, Mozart, and 30 minutes of Rachmaninov piano repertoire, as well as my performances at Southern Seminary with internationally known Dr Maurice Hinson.
In addition to my personal successful performances, my best performances are those of my students performing Rachmaninov Prelude in G# minor, or 6.5 year old autistic child on the autism spectrum playing at a recital at Butler University, as well as a student performing Aram Khachaturian's Toccata in E flat minor at Indiana University Young Pianist Program Recital.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
One of my students was invited to attend a piano camp at Indianan University, at the conclusion of the camp, 3 weeks later, he was invited to play in the honours recital there. Later he won a full-tuition scholarship for Texas Christian University and was invited to study piano there with the director of the Van Cliburn International Chopin Competition. He made his debut in Carnegie Hall in the spring of 2018, and prior to that, he made his first CD of Alexander Tansman's music.
Many of my students win first place in piano competitions, play for jazz bands and praise bands at their schools and churches.
My GREATEST honour, however, is when my students with autism or other developmental disorders, and cerebral palsy as well, walk on stage and play their solos with pride. That is the ultimate honour!
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The greatest challenge that I have when performing on a piano is learning the feel of the instrument, learning it's "voice", tone quality, touch, response, action, the pedal condition in order to learn to master the instrument to make it do and say what the composer intended. Each piano is different, the touch, the mechanisms, and the pitch also, which requires a firm hand and familiarity with that instrument. Playing PPP is very difficult to play soft and still hear it, then make the tone sound like a bell, or a human voice: very difficult.
