Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar
For beginning students that are children, I like to start with Hal Leonard’s Essential Elements or any other book that has the basic principles of music in them. Once the student has progressed and has a good grasp of the fundamentals, I will bring in other repertoire appropriate to their level. For adults, I like to find out what the student is interested in and then tailor the lesson toward that to keep lessons engaging and fun no matter what their abilities are. I always try to keep the lessons fun and entertaining. Read More

I am an enthusiastic and compassionate instructor who loves to share my musical knowledge with those eager and willing to learn. I received a Bachelor's degree in Music Therapy from Cleveland State University in 2018 and became a board-certified music therapist in January of 2019. With this degree and profession comes the knowledge and skillset of numerous instruments, including voice (my primary instrument), guitar, piano, and ukulele. It is of great importance to me that students receive an individualized teaching approach that is unique to his or her learning style. Read More

I love teaching beginning and intermediate students in piano and woodwinds. I graduated early from Hiram College in 1993 with a degree in Instrumental Music Education. I have been proudly teaching general and instrumental music in the Cleveland Public Schools for the last twenty-three years. I perform weekly as my church's organist and keyboardist for the Praise and Worship Team. I am currently attending Cleveland State to finish my Master's Degree in Instrumental Music Education.

As I've said above, my teaching is curtailed to the individual needs of my students. I stress development as a complete musician, and that often includes breaking away from technique to discuss other ideas like music theory, ear training, etc. Most importantly, I can explain difficult concepts in many ways. I am a degreed educator, having studied various learning styles and philosophies. I incorporate techniques from Kodaly, Orff, Suzuki, Dalcroze, Alexander--- each student has different needs.

Different students need different ways to teach. Kids need to give list. Adults need to talk equivalently. I can’t say I have a style. I will teach students according to their personality and studying pace. I will do my best to help you. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I do not use specific methods or books that I use. My teaching style and the music selected for each student is purely based on the needs and goals of the student. My goal is to always challenge the student while allowing them to feel a sense of accomplishment.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Typically, I prefer to teach students who are in their teens because their voice has started to mature. I am comfortable teaching students as young as 10, where basic musicianship and music fundamentals are introduced..
When will I start to see results?
This varies among students and their stage of development. Most students will not see results immediately. It takes time to train the voice. However, with smart and consistent practice, growth can be seen within the first weeks of lessons.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My high school choir teacher inspired me to pursue music. She was always encouraging and support my goals in every way possible. I hope to be like her as a teacher and make an impact on my students' lives.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream performance would be a concert of Britten's Canticles. I believe they are each powerful works of art that brilliantly display the story each tells.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
All of my degrees are in performance. I simply love to perform. Whether I'm singing in an ensemble of 40 or giving a solo performance being on stage is one of my passions. Performing music allows me to express emotions or share a message with a greater population.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I began singing in my high school choir, but I did not take my first voice lesson until I began my undergraduate studies.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
In order to practice efficiently, one should practice every day. Practices should begin with both a full body and vocal warm up, which includes stretches, breathing exercises, and other vocalises to prepare the body to sing. When practicing a technique or learning new music, "slow and steady wins the race!" This will ensure than good habits are being built into the instrument and the techniques and music are accurately learned.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Coordination of all of the moving parts is the hardest part to master. The voice is a complex instrument, and when a new technique is introduced, another may suffer. Learning how to balance each aspect is a challenge, yet very rewarding.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would probably be a travel agent. I love to see the world and experience new cultures! I try to travel when there is free time in my schedule.
