Hi! I have been playing music for almost 20 years and am excited to share my knowledge and love of many kinds of music. I started playing in fourth grade, going on to play first chair in high school concert and jazz bands and regional bands. Throughout that time, I learned guitar, keyboard, and bass guitar. I went on to go to the Frost School of Music at University of Miami, and graduated in 2014. Read More

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More

I like assign homework in different styles: writing, playing, singing, clapping, etc. I always find new ways to make piano playing amusing especially when I introduce new concepts. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing music doesn't have to involve long frustrating sessions of sitting at the piano. Often, students struggle with practicing effectively because they struggle with knowing what they should be practicing. Practicing in shorter segments of 10-20 minutes at a time with one main goal in mind can drastically improve one's practicing.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Piano lessons involve a significant amount of sitting and listening in order to be productive. If your child is able to concentrate on a task for at least 5-10 minutes, they can certainly start lessons. Lessons typically involve different activities in order to keep students engaged. Being able to be attentive for 5-10 minutes at a time will ensure that they will be able to be productive when practicing by themselves as well.
When will I start to see results?
Results depend on a number of factors, including time spent practicing between lessons, interest in material, and overall passion for music. Busy schedules may conflict with practice time, and young children typically progress slower than older children and adults. In general, results are seen after the first few weeks of lessons. Short term goals allow students to see the small steps in their progress, and long term goals of one month or longer allow students to see their hard work pay off in larger ways.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of performing my senior piano recital in October of 2019. I was able to overcome my own performance anxiety, and performed a beautiful program of classical and jazz inspired music for a large crowd of family, friends, and community members.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I typically use the Faber method books. These books provide a fun and productive way to learn basic, intermediate, and advanced skills at the piano, and they have method books for very young students, as well as for the older beginning and adult student.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
For me, a normal practice session involves 15-20 minutes of scales and other technical exercises, followed by one or two hours of working on whatever material I need to work on. I often divide my practice sessions into sections of 15-20 minutes, and focus on one particular musical section or goal for that length of time.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a Music Degree in Piano Performance. I chose this degree in order to continue growing as a musician by learning music of higher difficulties in many different areas of music history. The piano performance degree allowed me to grow as a performer, while also teaching me ways to improve and build on my own teaching skills.
