Nothing is more rewarding than seeing my students succeed in whatever they are passionate about. Whether that be making their Broadway Debut or learning to love music as much as I do. I encourage my students to set realistic goals for themselves at each lesson. I like to make each lesson fun but productive. I like to find commonalities in what I am teaching to their everyday life. With my years of experience both on the stage and off, I know I can give you or your child the very best training one has to offer! Read More

I strive to create an environment in my lessons where students have free to explore and express their passions and find their voice to become great musicians and people. In my lessons, I prioritize three main goals: technical proficiency, music literacy, and the performance of enjoyable repertoire. These goals are taught through age and experience-appropriate method books, along with supplemental technical materials that are shared with students as well. Finally, musical literacy and technique come together in application of repertoire! Read More

My lessons are very structured and fun. I incorporate games, visual aids, physical application, and live demonstrations to help appeal to the different styles. I do expect a high level of commitment from students while still being understanding that life doesnt always allow us to practice hours and hours a day. Since I do provide a lot of information within each lesson, I add a 5 minute break (if needed) to help clear the mind or just rest the eyes/arms since staring at music for a long period of time or holding up an instrument for a long period of time can be quite taxing.
