Instruments: Piano Trumpet
My master's degree in trumpet performance at the University of Denver included a teaching assistantship: I taught trumpet lessons, coached brass quintets, trumpet ensembles, and more. I had a private studio in Denver and again in Cleveland, where I was before relocating to DC. In Cleveland I taught full-time and ended up with over fifty private students. My students there received such honors as entrance into the Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra and Youth Wind Symphonies. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola
In my teaching method, I am creating a custom plan for every single student. With beginner students, I am starting from the fundamentals and using books: Essential Elements, Suzuki Book 12, one and two octaves scales and etudes by Kreutzer, Wohlfahrt, and Mazas. For all of my students, I am always trying to find the repertoire that they would enjoy to practice. I encourage my students to share what style or particular piece they like and help them to find the right edition or arrangement and learn it. Read More

I'm most comfortable working with beginner to intermediate students, ages 7-11. Initially, I will provide my students with an assessment to learn more about the student's interest and performance level. Subsequently, based upon the assessment results, I will provide my students with a series of warm-up exercises designed to support proper posture, breathing and the overall handling of their respective instrument for every session . Each session and lesson plans are customized for my students, and will be scheduled as followed: 5 minutes - Greeting and Warm-Up Exercise(s); 10 minutes - Modeling/ Recap and Collaborative Instruction of Core Skill(s); 10 minutes - Independent Application Recording Assessment of Core Skill(s); 5 minutes - Critiquing of Core Skill(s) Wrap-Up Activity.

I will start with basic books that teach you the bare fundamentals of music, the notes, fingering, etc. If you already know the basics we will go into a more advanced teaching plan. Depending on your skill level and what you want to accomplish in terms of style and technique I will base my lesson plan accordingly. I will base what I teach you according to your musical influences, passions, styles you want to learn, and who you would like to become as a musician overall. Read More

As an instructor, my job is to give the student every opportunity possible to discover their passion for music. The first lesson is always about providing a safe relaxed tone and finding out where that student's progress is. Not establishing an accurate assessment of their progress can be very destructive because it could cause me to come off as either too demanding or condescending. Depending on what their level is, I will design a custom curriculum to bring their weaknesses to the same level as their strengths. 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
