Instruments: Piano Voice
My goal as an instructor is to help my student's achieve their goals, help them be the best they can be, and encourage my students to have fun while doing so! I have a Bachelor of Music degree in Jazz Studies from Western Michigan University and a Master of Music degree in Jazz Performance from New England Conservatory. I was a finalist in the 2nd Annual Ella Fitzgerald Jazz Vocal Competition and Mid-Atlantic Jazz Festival Voice Competition in 2017. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I love music and I love teaching! I took piano lessons as a child, was in a band as a teenager, and began giving piano lessons in my 20's. I teach all styles of music, sight-reading, music theory and ear training. For those students more more interested in learning pop or jazz, I give special attention to chords and "lead sheet" playing. I have worked with many singers to teach them how to accompany themselves on piano. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
My experience as a voice teacher dates back to 1995. I was invited to teach several Masterclasses over the course of twenty years. The invitations came from institutions such as: The Oberlin Baroque Performance Institute, The Guildhall School of Music (London), The Cleveland Institute of Music, The Royal College of Music (London) and The Royal Conservatory of The Hague. I began teaching private lessons in my home studio in 2008 and in September of that year I was invited to join the music faculty at Oundle School, UK. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
For the last 8 years, I have been whole heartedly devoted to the nourishment of my craft and career. I am someone who believes in going all in so I have only been teaching full time since the pandemic started and part time for 2 years. It has been refreshing to go back to the basics for my beginners and help develop unique goals and repertoire for each student I have worked with. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Keyboard
My teaching style is totally based on the energy and personality of the student. With younger students I try to be as patient as possible by allowing them to tell me exactly what they are looking to learn in the lessons. I then base my lesson plan on this interaction and build the relationship from there. I will assign tasks for the students to complete before the next lesson so that they are doing the work needed to improve their musicianship. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute Recorder
I have taught students of all levels and ages, primarily students in the age range of 9-21, although I have had students of all ages. In addition to teaching flute at P.S. 7, I travelled to Salvador, Brazil in 2009 and 2010 to work with the students enrolled in the "Neojiba" program, which provides instruments and teaching to low-income youth.

Sharing the joy of music is what it's all about, but at the same time, everyone is different, so it's vital to nurture and encourage each student's natural abilities and inclinations, while showing them the way to new and wonderful worlds, and skills they didn't know they could master. As a teacher, two of the greatest joys are helping a student discover some of the beautiful magic of music that's already familiar to me, on the one hand, and learning from the student a new way of thinking about or hearing music, on the other.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
quality over quantity.
it's interesting to hear all these stories about people practicing 12 hours a day etc and believe me, I've been there too! But when you are a beginning students, all these things can sound very overwhelming.
My answer to this is: you can't practice 12 hours a day. You can play 12 hours a day, that's something else.
No matter how much time you have to practice, spend it well. Focus on just a couple of things over your practice time and focus on just 1 idea at a time. You will experience that this is the best practice you can get.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
This depends on what instrument your child wants to learn.
Very young children need to be big enough to hold and play an instrument. This is why children can start earlier with for example percussion lessons.
Some children show interest by themselves, they start hitting pots and pans, start singing and dancing, or start imitating playing an instrument.
If you are not certain if your child is ready to start lessons, you can always contact a professional teacher and she or he will have the best advice ready.
When will I start to see results?
If the student starts from scratch, progress will be seen on a weekly basis.
For intermediate and advanced students, it depends on what material they are learning. Some etudes might take up to a few weeks, month, to show clear results of progress.
Seeing results is the combination of having a good teacher and being a good student.
When you get lessons taught the correct way, and you practice the correct way, progress will naturally be seen.
It also depends in the individual, some people are quick, some people are slower. And it's good to know that this has not so much to do with talent! I can be just a phase!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My father was my first music teacher. He taught me the basics of the clarinet, drums and theory. He taught me how to read music before I went to the local music school. He inspired me by transferring his passion and love for music and art. Getting the right positive feedback was very motivating. Because he was also a high level performing musicians, I believe he knew his craft so well that he could even give me some life lessons at a very young age. And this very last thing is what inspires me the most. When I teach, I'm aiming for that as well!
