Instruments: Piano Guitar Clarinet Bass Guitar Synthesizer Recorder
My teaching experience has been as eclectic as my musical experiences. Over the past 2 years I have been teaching private lessons at my home studio consistently. Currently I'm looking to expanding my student-base and focus on teaching full time while finishing my final year of graduate studies. The majority of my students have been beginners ages 5-14, although I've been giving informal guitar lessons to peers for the majority of my college and graduate school time. Read More
Instruments: Piano Organ
A good teacher wants to listen, assess and guide the student in the learning process according to the student's individual desires, goals and style of learning. This aquired style of teaching is non-threatening and success based. I also teach by analysis, guiding my students to observe how the music is put together, so that they understand the similarities and the contrasts from the start. This is a way to teach about the structure of music and alows for easier practice of the music between lessons. Read More

I'm a tender, loving, and caring instructor who's passionate about sharing what I know about music with those I teach and mentor. In 2002, I graduated from Triton Regional School District with a Diploma where I studied long and hard the fundamentals of music as far as performance and writing. From 2002-2003, I decided to go to Northern Essex Community College to focus on General Academics before attending an institution that focused on music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
I'm an experienced singer and teacher and love sharing the joy of discovery of sound and music with children and young people. My degree is in classical vocal performance and I've lived all over the U.S. and maintained a teaching studio over the last 20+ years. I've taught early childhood music, led choirs for children, teens and women and have worked with many schools and churches. My students become a family and we enjoy putting together group classes and small recital performances, including an annual Christmas Sing Along. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Trumpet
I started teaching in College after seeing the benifit from teaching Music Education Students brass Technique. I feel the best teachers are constantly putting themselves into situations where they are students. I am always taking classes and learning new things in and around music. I taught myself 3 instruments this very way, and have been able to perform and teach these instruments very effectively. Read More
Instruments: Voice
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of my performances with the New York and Philadelphia Philharmonic Orchestras. My favorite performance of all was performing Leonard Bernstein's Mass in its entirety. We performed not only with the Philadelphia Philharmonic Orchestra, but also the Temple University Choir, the American Boy's Choir, a marching band, professional singers, and world-renowned conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin. I am also proud of my college voice recitals in 2015 and 2016. Hearing the progression in my voice and learning the arias/song cycles was an experience I will always remember. These were huge accomplishments for me, as I had never performed a recital prior to these. It was amazing performing in front of friends, family, and teachers.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
The way I teach comes from the methods first created by Cornelius Lawrence Reid. Reid was a specialist in the style of bel canto, a way of singing to create an open and rich sound. This technique was used in the operatic world for over 800 years, and came back in the beginning of the 1900s from Reid. He wrote two books that further explained the bel canto technique: "A Dictionary of Vocal Terminology" and "Bel Canto Principles and Practices." Reid's technique was further researched and developed by Manuel Garcia II. Garcia was the first person to invent the laryngoscope, which first x-rayed the vocal chords. I learned these techniques from my high school voice teacher, Mr. Lawrence Lohman. I use this technique for my students and immediately hear a change in the sound. The student will also notice an immediate change, due to how open they will feel in the voice and the body compared to prior.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
One of the hardest things when it comes to singing is to not overthink. Students, usually who are younger, do not understand that how they hear their voice is different than how others around them hear their voice. Even on a recording, it is still not that students true voice. It is easy to overthink and feel that they did something wrong, they cracked on a high note, they did not have enough breath support, etc. Once the student can focus primarily on opening the sound, making sure it feels comfortable, and in singing the correct segment, the overthinking will stop. This will take time, but they will overcome it!
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I have always loved to sing. I remember wanting to perform ever since I was a child. I would write my own songs and sing them in front of friends and family. As I grew older, I found singing was a way to relax me and provide me with great joy. I found that singing, along with playing guitar and piano, was a fun way to continue with song writing. I felt it was more than just a hobby for me. Once I started voice lessons, hearing my progress further thrilled me for performing. To this day, singing and teaching others to sing is the highlight of my life.
