My solo pianist experiences revolve around exploring (and occasionally premiering) the earliest, latest, and least known works of well-known composers. I have performed in ensemble with UMBCs New Music Ensemble, Wind Ensemble, and Collegium Musicum - also paid accompanist at UMBC. I have experience performing for professional recordings. I was part of an interactive concert in Baltimore and have had experience creating and delivering lesson plans to elementary school students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet
For students just starting out the focus is always on the fundamentals. Hal Leonard has some great Essential Elements books. When students show progress with these types of instruction manuals we'll usually jump to specific pieces of music that focus on the elements that we learned about in our method books. Lessons are tailored to the student and his or her needs and goals. All students aren't shooting to play at Carnegie Hall or tour the World. Read More
Instruments: Piano Music
I start elementary students with learning about the piano, its history and show them the internal parts. We learn finger numbers and our first songs are using those finger numbers to encourage the correct hand position and strengthen our fingers. I build rapport with the student and introduce pieces I feel they would enjoy playing . I use djembe drums to help keep the beat steady and improve listening skills. Each student is different so a "one size fits all" book is not used. Read More

Having worked with students throughout Northern Virginia since 2000, I bring a depth of professional experience and knowledge to those who are eager to expand their minds, talents, and skills. I am passionate about musical education. It is my belief that music is a gift to be shared - not just between instructor and student but also between the student and their community. 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
