Instruments: Piano Trumpet Music
I have studied at Oberlin Conservatory and Rutgers State University and studied with some of the best teachers. I studied jazz trumpet for my bachelor's and Masters degrees. I moved to NYC in 2009 and have performed with artists such as Roy Hargrove, Kim Burrell, Geri Allen and Wallace Toney. I taught at the community outreach program at Rutgers State University and have been a teacher with Musika for 10 years. I also play music with my own project Wave Magnetik where I produce music using Ableton and perform by DJing while playing trumpet and singing. Read More

I started teaching music lessons back when I was 14, when friends would ask for tips or lessons, and local parents wanted lessons for their children. I fell in love with the act of helping others to realize the music inside them, and have been teaching consistently ever since. Learning any musical instrument involves learning about oneself. The student and teacher must work together to define their goals, be comfortable confronting shortcomings, discover how they learn best, and find the patience and drive to practice for long enough to get better.

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Recorder Music Keyboard
From my years of experience both as a musician and as a teacher, communication and trust are the key components to a successful lesson. My students will always know the expectations and goals, just as I would like my students to be open enough to talk about what they are feeling, if the goals are reasonable, and if they are finding success. I will go over a foundation of basics for every student, teaching them how to practice and setting them up for success. Read More
Instruments: Piano Synthesizer Keyboard
For students who are just beginning their musical journey, we will explore the fundamentals of the piano with some classic technique and home made exercises, as well as knowledge on key musical theory topics. Understanding the theory behind the notes unlocks important aspects of both the music and the piano. From there we will progress into pieces of music ranging in emotion and style, whether for performance or personal gratification. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
For beginning students, I typically begin with a deep dive on rudimental studies and keyboard skills on drums and mallet percussion. I gradually introduce notation and music literacy tools to improve the students understanding of how the fundamentals of music interact with one another. I use a lot of rote teaching methods as well to take full advantage of how physical percussion and drums can be. I find that students interests will quickly guide me to making suggestions for different repertoire to take on as the student is ready. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
"You reap what you sow." If you want to be GREAT, you must be willing to WORK HARD. As your teacher I will push you to practice and become the BEST musician you can possible be.
Practice N Enjoy :)
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child shows an interest in music, by singing or dancing whenever a song is played on the radio. Then your child is ready for music lessons. Music lessons are for anyone who LOVES music.
When will I start to see results?
Every student progresses differently, depending on your commitment and study habits. However, every student will learn the fundamentals of music. Which include (but are not limited to) ear training, harmony, music theory and technique.
As an experience music instructor, I never give empty promises to students no matter what level. However, if you decide to take music lessons with me, all students will learn the fundamental of music and once a student is able to develop the above mentioned skills, you will see results very quickly.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My inspiration came from within, I didn't grow up with a musical family, but my love for music came when I realized it was a form of self expression. I started studying arts education at a very young age and was blessed to have parents that supported my love of music.
I worked with wonderful teachers and artists who all played a role in shaping my artistic life. Therefore, I can not name just one teacher who inspired me to go into music, because it was a village of people who inspired me to go into music. Sometimes you don't always need someone to "inspire" you, the inspiration is sometime already there!
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
As mentioned before, I was blessed with the gift of a voice, therefore, my instrument chose me. Once I realized how natural singing was, I started studying voice right away. I took my music studies very serious; as a teenager I spent my Saturdays from 9am-5pm studying music. I eventually started taking piano lessons to support my vocal career. Yet, I am so grateful that I didn't have to "choose" an instrument, music was my calling and I am so happy this is what I get to do every day. Forever grateful :)
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of my music business accomplishments, although I have travel the world as a singer. There is no greater joy than sharing and teaching my God given talent. This is my most proudest moment, when I see a child light up once he or she understands a musical concept. I have so many musical accomplishment, yet, teaching will always be near and dear to my heart. I co-founded a mobile music company helping underserved children afford music lessons. I am so passionate about music, I wish I could share my love of music with the whole world.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Many of my students are professional artists in their own right. However, one particular student who studied under me for a very long time, went on to study music and earned a BA in vocal performance as well as a Master's degree in Music. This student is currently teaching private students and performing at professional venues throughout New York City. I have another student who performs globally as a recording artist. He started taking lessons with me when he was only eight years old. So many of my students have professional careers in music.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Confidence, is the hardest part of singing. Many people are naturally talented but many lack the confidence to go forward and pursue their musical goals. My job as a music teacher/coach will be to help each student build up their confidence to learn all the fundamentals of music. Once you have overcome the fear of singing or performing then you can begin to master the art of learning music. I believe fear is the hardest thing when it comes to music, because most people are more concern about "how they sound."
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I use several teaching method books, for example Alfred, Hal Leonard, etc. However, I have a customized music curricula designed for all my students. I believe students learn in different ways, therefore, one method book would not work for my teaching style. All students have specific needs and I have created a course that works best for all music students.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session will consist of physical stretching, breathing exercises, several vocal warm ups and repertoire building.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I could not see myself doing anything else other than music. I love my job and love sharing the gift of music, it's my calling :)
