Instruments: Piano
My teaching style is fairly methodical, as I have found some tactics to be reliable across the board. However, I also enjoy the beauty of personalized attention that comes with music lessons. I make efforts to keep an open, honest dialogue with my students regardless of age so I can hear what works and what doesn't for them. It feels so good for a teacher and a student when they reach that lightbulb moment together. Read More
Instruments: Piano
My teaching experience really started With the DC Youth Orchestra Program as a cellist. Assisting the cello teaches with summer sessions. I also assisted at NC A T State University Orchestra. I mentored student teachers with string ensemble. Currently, I am Assistant to the Minister of Music at The Greater First Baptist Church of Washington DC. There my duties vary, from preparing the choir (teaching), playing piano and pipe organ; assist with the selecting of music for morning service; staging musicial presentations. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Bass Guitar Ukulele Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
For young beginners, I generally will start with a beginning method book (such as Hal Leonard's Essential Elements) but the book will depend on the instrument as well. For older students, I want to know what kind of music they enjoy playing or listen to, and guide them along to reach their goals--whether that be to play in a band, write and record an album, or just become a better player!

I have been teaching, recording, producing, and performing music since I was 14. I have 60 productions, currently from a 3 piece band, and perform across the Triangle. I have my own business with over 20 students weekly. I also work for two local music instruction companies and teach an audio production course after school at Duke Middle. I also played with Payne’s Chapel Gospel, Women’s, Men’s, and Mass Choirs from age 13 until 26. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I can say I was born playing piano since my mother did. I stopped lessons when I was 4 but always kept up piano. Fell in love with the violin in 6th grade and then in 1989 took up the harp. I always wanted to play harp so purchased one and started to play. It was so different being the student and not the teacher
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My grandmother was a pianist s actually beat Rubenstein in a pushover competition for which I have her medal. My mother was a brilliant pianist and organist. My great uncle Victor Borge whose real name is Borge Rosenbaum was also an inspiration. I also had a group of students in his honor call Magical Music and we would choreograph magic tricks in our music. This is how I won one of the awards from the White House.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I actually took a break from music when I moved from Boston to Maryland and got another degree and a masters degree in psychology. I really wanted to ha a child though but was unable to. After 5 years we did adopt our daughter and my husband asked me if now I felt like I had everything. There was still an emptiness in me and I realized music was not a part of my life so I studied violin with two different teachers and worked hard until I achieved my dream of playing professionally in an orchestra.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love classical music as well as folk and Disney music. I like music that brings peace and serenity to the heart like Yano or Yuruma. I like music that makes you paint music in your mind
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I can’t think of anything else I would rather be. I was a swimmer so maybe an Olympic swimmer or archeologist because I love exploring and finding new and different things
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
The Brahms Violin Concerto with a full orchestra because this is the piece that made me fall in love with music. On piano it would be Rachmaninov piano Concerto .#4
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a Bachelor of Music degree in music education with a concentrate on both violin and piano. I chose this one so I could have greater opportunities like teaching music in a school, teaching privately or performing all of which I have fone
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I use all kinds of music. The Suzuki meth and various parts of it, Bastien, Faber and Faber as well as Alfred. I use my own music and others as well. For older violin students I use Arubans violin Students I use Rubank Elementary Methods of violin, whistlers guide to the various position,Sevcik book of violin techniques and Wolfhardt.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I do not know if you mean for myself or my students. For my students I let them pick out a warm up piece, then we go on to what the have been working on and then we start working on new mydic
