Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Ukulele Mandolin Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
Its amazing to watch my students fall in love with their instrument and gain confidence and joy from learning to play. Everyone is different and will need to go at their own pace. My job is more of a "coach" - setting up structures and practices to help you succeed but not doing the work for you! I will help fuel your desire to grow as a musician and encourage you to progress at your own pace while celebrating each and every success along the way while tailoring my instruction based on my students needs and goals.

Instruments: Piano Trumpet
My approach to teaching is centered around whether the student is having fun. My goal is never to force anyone to become a professional in our lessons. If you want to get to that level I can certainly help, but I am more concerned about having fun playing trumpet and piano. We will do a lot of listening homework as well, since listening is just as important as playing. A lot of my students so far really appreciate that balance and the break between playing their instruments. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Cello Bass Guitar
I have a deep and passionate love for all things music, whether it's teaching, performing, writing, or listening, and I love being able to share that with my students. I did my undergrad program at UMass Lowell and have achieved my Bachelors degree in Music Studies. I currently still attend the University, where I am striving to get my Masters degree in Music Teaching. Outside of school I enjoy writing and recording my own music, and I occasionally play live shows when I can. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I graduated from Khmelnitsky College of music with a focus in button accordion and piano, and I have earned my master degree from Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Kiev, Ukraine, the same institution that educated noted pianist Vladimir Horowitz and many other renowned performers, composers and educators. I performed with the Veriovka Choir, an award-winning orchestra that tours internationally to share the joy of music with audiences worldwide. Today I find fulfillment staying closer to home with my family and enthusiastically sharing music with my students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Cello
For beginning students who are children, I typically start with teaching basic music theory, scales, and start with John Thompson's Easiest Piano Course for the piano students. For Cello beginning students, it's very important to have a correct playing position. Therefore, we will spend some time on knowing cello, position for both hands, and then we will start with Suzuki. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. Read More
Instruments: Piano Accordion Music Keyboard
I have been teaching for about as long as I've been a trained musician. I believe that teaching is just as valuable to the teacher as it is the student. Teaching and tutoring is something that is ingrained in me, I love answering questions and explaining what makes something in music important and exciting. I find myself frequently tutoring and teaching in all areas of music whether it be piano, accordion, theory, composition, etc. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone
For beginning students who are children, I typically begin with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements; as well as other, more auditory practices that do not require a book. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce other solo repertoire pieces that I feel the student is ready for, and assist in musical execution for future recitals. For adults, I try to first find out what the student is interested in, and then guide my lessons in such a way that would be beneficial for their goal, as well as their musicianship. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Taking frequent breaks in practice is very important for any instrument. For trumpet, you don’t want to over-play and hurt your lips. The way I tackle this is to take breaks as much as you play- even if that includes timing yourself to have equal practice and break time. It is important to have a steady warmup, that may change but contain the same elements. For every student, their practice with technical studies vs literature is different. It is important to be aware of this practicing behavior. Many students will play the beginning of a piece every time they practice and totally neglect the rest of the piece; many have bad practicing habits and we can fix them, easily!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child is remotely interested in trumpet or if they are a beginner in band, they can definitely start taking lessons! In school, your child can excel with private lessons and thrive being a musician. Not having lessons as a child, it was extremely confusing figuring out where to start with practicing and even what skills to develop. Your child will want to excel and be first chair in band, but practicing trumpet is so much more than that. It allows them to keep a practice schedule and have something they truly care about! Motivation in a child’s life is extremely important as it can be easy to be apathetic in school; music can be the light in a child’s life.
When will I start to see results?
While every music student’s journey is different, taking lessons will be vital in their success. How much a student wants to practice can be changed with a little motivation. As for concrete results, you should see results right away with the student’s practice. Even a little practicing is huge for the student, especially for beginners. Lessons do require a committed student who is willing to follow through with practicing and performing, but I work very hard to motivate students to find their passion.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had several teachers who inspired me to pursue and thrive in music. In high school, I spent a lot of time playing around and was uninterested in music. I started college wanting an agricultural degree. But I decided to play in Jazz 2, the second band, with Greg Ball as the director, and I thought “Why am I doing anything other than music?”. Greg Ball made the rehearsal experience so much more than about the music we were playing and making it an enjoyable experience for everyone. From then I decided to be a music major, when I met Dr. Brian Walker. Dr. Walker pushed me to the limit in my lessons and made me work harder and harder throughout my degree. Even though it was a very difficult road, there was always a huge amount of payoff! Many other teachers helped me through my music courses and I joined several different ensembles in college, including vocal ensembles. I have always believed that it is important to expand and discover what you enjoy. Music is a universal language and even if your child decides they don’t want to pursue trumpet in the future, it will have always been a part of their lives and those skills can transfer to other real world skills.
