Instruments: Piano Trumpet
I'm a patient and caring individual who believes in giving back to the community because the community has given me so much. I enjoy playing and teaching music more than anything. I've had the opportunity of learning from many great teachers in the state of North Carolina, and have had the privilege of being a part of groups such as the ECU Wind Ensemble, ECU Marching Pirates, ECU Trumpet Ensemble and several other quality groups.

Instruments: Piano
I began teaching in college and was a graduate assistant at the University of Oklahoma. I taught private lessons in my professor's home studio, group lessons for undergraduate courses, and private lessons in our pedagogy teaching lab at OU. I've also taught private piano lessons at North Central College, Naperville, IL, Harper Community College in IL and Meredith College in Raleigh, NC. Throughout the years I've held positions in the Cary-Apex Piano Teachers Association and the Raleigh Piano Teachers Association. Read More
Instruments: Piano Clarinet
I have loved music my entire life, and I am a fun, knowledgeable and dedicated teacher of both the clarinet and the piano. After graduating with a clarinet performance degree from the New England Conservatory of Music in 2007, I have performed in many Boston and New Hampshire-area orchestras. I am originally from the very small town of Barryville, NY, and my orchestral career has taken me to wonderful concert halls like Boston's Symphony Hall, Clevelan'ds Blossom Music Center, and New York's Carnegie Hall.

Instruments: Piano Keyboard
Teaching in a traditional style, the method books primarily used are Alfred's Prep Course, and Faber. For the very young (4-5 years old), I have had great success using Music for Little Mozarts. I encourage independent sight reading with additional books of holiday songs and fun songs. Each level includes theory and/or note speller books. For the very young, I include note spelling games. I also allow students to perform their own compositions and help them notate on staff paper to understand rhythm and theory as applied in their own creations. Read More
Instruments: Piano Clarinet Recorder Bassoon
Watching a student find the joy in playing music, makes my job immensely rewarding. I therefore am a positive teacher who tries to celebrate the best about every performance - including sight reading and scales! It’s also important to set realistic goals for every lesson and achievable practice goals between lessons. Since every student learns at a different pace these are understandably individual goals. Some students are inspired by achieving a goal and some are inspired by playing particularly music, so I try to tailor my lessons and goals to them. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Viola Keyboard
Good day ! I have been a musician. all of my life, started training in my early childhood. It's been a pleasure and a joy. I trained at Eastman Conservatory of Music o atthe University of Rochester, New York in the mid 80's. I also studied at Oral Roberts University, where I was preparing for a Performance Degree with an emphasis in Education. I have also taught sence 1990, both strings and piano. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums Latin Percussion Music Keyboard
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I created a children's choir with 300 singers of different ages in 5 months in a public school for a Christmas concert with the Orchestra. We did not have any musical rehearsal with the orchestra and the choir together but the concert was perfect.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
It was by accident. My uncle had a drum in his house. It was a birthday present because he wanted to learn how to play that instrument but he never did. As a result, he kept the drum as a memory of his wish to decorate the house. I used to visit him and play his instrument just for fun. Eventually, my anxiety as a teenager decreased and I could stay focused easily. It was the moment when I decided to focus in the drum as my main Instrument. 6 years later, I started my proper preparation as a drummer
When will I start to see results?
It is different for each student. You can see little results in one month if you study intensely but typically it can be noticed after 3 or 4 month.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes, he was the principal of the elementary school where I was studying in. He applied the Mozart effect with the students of that school by inserting baroque and classical music during the activities. Personally, I improved my concentration and my passion for learning new things grew. Eventually, I started listening this music at home, as a result, I became in a music lover and joined the choir of the school. Then, one day when I was in high school I discovered he was a singer and a choir conductor with no proper training. His passion conducting Inspired me to study music properly.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
You have to watch and listen what you are doing. More than just practicing, make sure that you are using a proper technique when you are playing. A minimum of one hour of practice everyday is fundamental to success.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
It is important to start the soon as possible. The younger you start, the better you will be. However, the "recommendable" age to start is 4-5 years old because their automotive capabilities are sufficiently developed with their understanding to star in the music world. The child can start before this age if he/she shows a complete mastery of the language, otherwise, the classes will be just training or preparation to the real music classes.
