Playing the piano has been a lifelong passion for me and I am excited for the opportunity to pass on my love and skill for music to anyone who wishes to engage in this rewarding art form. Although I have been involved in several styles of music over my career; gospel, jazz, blues, contemporary Christian, and classical, I have spent most of my life as a church musician. Most recently, I was the worship pastor for a medium sized church in Harrisburg Pennsylvania. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Violin
Although I began my musical career in the Suzuki method, I intentionally balance the ear-training approach of that method with music theory to create well-rounded musicians. My students will learn how to sight read music, improvize their own melodies, perform in an ensemble (chamber and/or orchestral) and master the art of performance with a solid foundation in music theory. I generally start off with Suzuki repertoire for beginning students, but supplement that with scales, positions exercises, dexterity exercises, and sight-reading material. Read More

While I understand that fundamentals are necessary and the need to learn and study the "how" and "why" of music is incredibly important, there is absolutely a place for popular music. I strive to create a fun and captivating setting for students that includes making connections between standard repertoire and modern popular music. Once I understand a students wants or needs I will be able to adjust my curriculum to better fit the specific needs of that student. Read More

I started teaching piano and drums in church around the age of 18. Once I got to college, I picked up trombone, piano and singing lessons for various students aging from 4 years old-22 years old. I realized that teaching, part time, was a passion of mine and greatly became something that I focused my efforts on full time. Now, as a professional musician, I take pride in helping others achieve their music dreams. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Find a time of day where you have the most energy and free time, and commit to setting aside at least 10 minutes per day to your practice. Consistency really is key! Target the trickiest sections of your music to begin with, and finish by playing through your most favorite parts. Even practicing should be fun!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Your child's interest in and passion for music are the biggest indicators that they are ready for lessons! Ability to focus for up to an hour at a time is important to begin, but the biggest thing that creates a productive, successful learning environment is the student's desire to be present and learn.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I have had many teachers who have inspired me to pursue music throughout my life. Each one shared their own passion for music, sparking the fire within me in turn. Their impressive skills as well as their constant encouragement inspired me to improve, and gave me the desire to be a positive mentor for my students today.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I don't remember a time when I didn't love to sing! It is a unique and exhilarating experience to have your own voice as your instrument and means of expression. There is nothing I love more than conveying a message and bringing joy to people through singing.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My favorite musical accomplishment has to be winning the title of Choir of the World with my college choir at the 2015 International Eistedfodd in Wales! To share a stage with so many talented choirs from all over the world and to hear their musical offerings was a life changing opportunity. Taking the title was just the cherry on top of an incredible experience!
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I weren't a musician, I would likely be a counselor or therapist. I love working with people one-on-one and helping them to live in alignment with their happiest, most successful selves.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite genre to sing is Musical Theatre! I have trained in MT longer than any other style, but it is the stories, characters, and great opportunity for emotional expression through the text and music that gives me such enjoyment.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My late grandmother (Lola, as my Filipino side calls her) was my earliest music teacher. When I was 6 years old, she sat me down and taught me everything she knew on the piano. It wasn't much, but enough to light a fire in me to keep learning and eventually go on to singing. It was my dad, who used to be the lead singer of a rock band in the 70s, who showed me all kinds of music and shared his love of self-expression through singing. He's still my favorite duet partner to this day!
