Instruments: Piano Cello
“Music is one of the most important parts in my life, it can raise someone's mood, get them excited, or make them calm and relaxed. I like teaching people instruments and involve more and more people fall in love with music. Because music allows us to feel nearly or possibly all emotions that we experience in our lives. Music is powerful in many other ways that could take your feelings away.” I have a lot of experience with all ages students but especially with beginners and advanced students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums
It all started out as realizing my greatest strengths are being positive and always realizing the potential in people. I wanted to become a teacher so I could maximize my strengths in seeing the best in people. It started out as a friendly way. I first began friends I knew in school that would walk into my house and see the instruments I play. They would ask if they could play it and then next thing you know, I was teaching them how to play. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I am passionate about teaching kids (and adults) music fundamentals and about helping them find the spark that will keep them interested and growing. I believe it is important to teach good technical and musical habits from the beginning, along with basics of music theory. But I believe it is just as important to explore the students individual motivations for learning an instrument and what will bring them a sense of accomplishment and joy. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute Recorder Keyboard
As an experienced music educator, musician, and a mother, I have found that it is so important to have music in people's life starting from young age. I have taught at school settings and private studios for more 10 years, and recently got certified as Zumbini instructor to teach age 0-4 and their caregivers. I have earned a BA in music, a MA in piano performance, and a MS in music education. Read More
Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
I have always enjoyed teaching private lessons because it allows me to tailor the lesson to the individual students needs. This is not always possible in a classroom situation. I am patient with my students but I expect my students to practice four to five days a week. My goal is to get the students to enjoy the process of learning new music. I realize that my students will not take piano lessons forever so my hope is to get them to enjoy the process of learning new things in general. 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 Clarinet Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Djembe
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
my decision to play drums as my primary instrument happened very naturally. I started off playing clarinet and classical percussion. Later on, I also studied piano but when I started studying jazz, I switched to drums. I still play the other instruments, but playing drums is just another experience for me. I can express myself the best on the drums out of all the other instruments I play. It feels the most honest. I think because when you play drums you really feel the instrument resonate. This natural phenomena is very inspiring.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Besides teaching, I also have a career as a performing musician and composer. Last September, I went to Europe with my quartet and we played 10 shows over 2 weeks and recorded my compositions in a studio in Germany. I'm very honoured that these top noch musicians are willing to work with me.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I've never had students that took part in a competition. But I am willing to prepare students to enter a competition, aiming for the best possible result. Since I took part in many competitions, I know how to deal with this.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Honesty. An instrument never lies. It sounds the way you feel, think,...
The instrument knows as much about you as you know about yourself. It might even know more.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I don't use specific methods because people and students aren't specific either. Some books work for some people and visa versa. I disagree with a lot of the academia so I rather teach my own method, which is a method that I create per student.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Start of simple. Playing simple things is actually the hardest thing to do. Because the material is so raw, you can't hide behind your mistakes. So I would stick with a simple idea for a long time before going to other places. Really try to become this one idea so that you don't have to think about it anymore. You just play it naturally. This will automatically lead me to other worlds I still have to explore.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
Performance, because I love performing.
I got my Education degree within my performance degree.
Composition: Because i find it very challenging to write my own music. To learn more about yourself as a player and come op with (musical) questions and solutions.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I don't have a dream piece yet. For now I would say that my dream piece would be an improvisation where I'm really happy about.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
painting.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
free improvised music. in free improvised music i can be the most honest i can be compared to any other musical situation. since i don't like lying, this is my favourite genre.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
read the question about choosing my primary instrument. everything happened naturally, I didn't think about any of these things.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
read "did you ever have a teacher that inspired you?"
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
this happened very early on, I must have been 11 or 12. When going to middle school, my friends started thinking about professions but since I already enjoyed playing music that much, it was a very easy decision to make.
