Instruments: Piano
For beginning students I typically use Piano Adventures by Faber and Faber. This lesson series helps to ensure each student gets a well rounded music education. For those with previous experience, I will get to know where they're at in their knowledge and ability as well as which music interests them, and we go from there. I encourage all my students to explore genres/songs that appeal to them since that's what makes music fun! Read More

I am an intuitive teacher: I have learned how to observe my students, their moods, their energy levels, and adjust my lesson plan on the fly. For instance, one student has ADHD, which I manage by injecting exciting new rhythms for him to mimic when I see his attention wander. I then harness that renewed focus towards the original goal of the lesson, whether it’s learning a new time signature or a complex cross-rhythm. Read More

My teaching style depends on the student's age and ability. Student's at different levels and ages will need various approaches. For everyone, I try to be calming, supportive, and as fun as possible; there are differences for various ages. With very young students, it's important to be as supportive as possible; especially when learning new things that can often be frustrating. Having an environment of support is paramount to me in these lessons. Read More

In order for my students to achieve their full musical potential, I am aware that each student is different in regards to learning. To achieve this, I spend a lot of time getting to know the student and how the learn best so I can accurately plan and prepare lessons, objectives, and goals to fit the needs of each individual pupil. From there, I facilitate and incorporate various methods of music teaching into my lessons and curriculum. Read More

I have been teaching since before I even went to college. My teaching experience, professionally, began in 2018. In 2019, I began college at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette for vocal music. After that, I went on to teach more voice lessons, and added on piano, ukulele, guitar, and even theatre. Currently, I am an elementary music teacher in the Bronx and East Harlem. Outside of teaching, I love to perform. Read More

I am a firm believer in not re-inventing the wheel. I don't use my own lesson plans. I meet with students to see what they know and what they want to learn, and then use books, YouTube videos or tutorials to teach - learn with- students. A typical curriculum for me first learning the chromatic scale, then the major two octave scale. Then the minor two octave scale, then basic major and minor chords. 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 :)
