Instruments: Piano
For children beginners, I typically start with Hal Leonard's "More Popular" books. Once the student has begun to learn how to sightread and grasp the fundamental elements, I begin to introduce a repertoire suitable for the student's performance. For students who are a little bit older and have a little bit more experience I ask them what they would like to learn. I am a firm believer in asking the student what their goals are and what they are interested in. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
During college, I studied Italian, French, and German which have helped me in singing and teaching music in these languages. I also had the opportunity to do a study abroad Opera program with Oberlin in Italy where I was able to study with teachers from the Eastman School of Music. I taught private voice and piano lessons lessons at Northern IL. and a variety of music studios from 2007-2012 . I taught over 400 students ages 3-65. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trombone
I'm a dedicated music educator that wants to help students bring out their full potential on their instrument. In 2018, I graduated from Baylor University with a Bachelor of Music Education. While at Baylor, I was a member of the trombone studio under Brent Phillips. I played in all the instrumental ensembles avaliable to play in as a trombonist. I also studied piano as my secondary instrument in college. Because of playing musical instruments, I have had the opportunity to play in numerous of band and orchestra concerts, marching shows, and sporting events. Read More

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute
I like to start from the ground up, which means I start with Music Theory. Yes starting off with learning how to play the instrument is great but, if you don't know what you're doing while you're blowing then whats the point? Read More
Instruments: Piano Cello Music
For all my cello students, I start with 170 Foundation Studies and a modified Suzuki Method (Cello). Once my students reach Suzuki book 4, then they can start playing Bach Suites, and other intermediate repertoir. The Bach Suites, however, are what most of my cello students are interested in learning. For piano students, I use the Bastien piano series by Neil Kjos. I want my students to be interested and engaged, and coach them through basics while also trying to find pieces or genres they want to play. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Recorder
My musical experiences started at church in the 80's when I discovered that I could sing really high notes imitating Christian artists like Sandy Patty and the late puertorican soprano Yolanda Vadiz. Those experiences motivated me to consider studying music seriously not just like another hobby. I started studying voice techniques at the age of 20 at the Sacred Music Institute in the Methodist Church in Hato Rey, PR. There I took classes with tenor Jose Torres and baritone Rafael Cotto who prepared me for the audition at the Conservatory of Music of Puerto Rico. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet Bassoon
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
This is a cop-out answer, but mastering anything is difficult and requires effort. There is no one individual thing on any instrument that stands out as the hardest to accomplish. Many difficulties for bassoon can be traced to reed quality issues, or inconsistencies in fundamental techniques such as half-hole, or thumb key usage. I don't believe in singling out one "hardest" part of an instrument, because so much of it is based on case-by-case situations.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
For bassoonists, I use the Weissenborn Method for Bassoon. It's the most comprehensive etude book, and it covers everything a student will need to know from beginning well into college. This is also supplemented with my own methods.
For other instruments, beginners often bring their method books from band, which I heavily supplement with my own materials. As the students progress, saxophones will move into the Ferling studies, and Clarinets to the Rose studies.
If using a method book, I choose ones that present a cross section of music typical to be performed and techniques that can be advanced. The point of an etude book is to build a vocabulary for the student.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I have prepared countless students for state Solo and Ensemble competition, youth orchestras, and even college auditions. My private students generally score Superior or Excellent, as well as the ensembles that I coach. I have had students participate in the Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra, the Contemporary Youth Orchestra, the Akron Symphony Youth Orchestra, and many district honor bands hosted at different universities. The students I have helped with college auditions were accepted across the board, and are enjoying their musical careers at schools like Kent State University, Cleveland State University, and Miami University.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I've thankfully been put into many musical situations I can feel proud of, but a standout to me is winning the CCM Chamber Music Competition, Woodwinds Division with a close group of my friends. I began playing in the group filling in for a good friend who developed a hand injury, and we ended up clicking and gelling very well. Our preparation for the competition was very rigorous, and the music we played was extremely difficult, but the end result was putting on a spectacular performance. What was special about this performance compared to others was being able to accomplish it with the friends I had made, and feeling like we all put a distinct and individual touch on the piece. Even if we hadn't won, the music we played was at such a level that it felt like an achievement to get to the end!
