Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music. Therefore, it is important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a student’s desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet
Since the majority of my students will earn a living outside of music, I've learned that the number one task is to make music easy to use as a life-long pasttime.My experience with young people has taught me that rather than seeing myself as a music teacher, I'm a teacher who uses music to teach about life. I love connecting musical development to other things we do and talking with students about how musical thinking and discipline affect other areas of our lives. Read More

I believe that learning is both an internal and communal process. Every living being has the potential to learn to do amazing things or acquire incredible skills. However, to learn something means to make it apart of oneself. In the case of music, many a jazz musician spends years trying to memorize a plethora of songs. The irony is that without having someone to play with and truly experience the music making process, the musician will never internalize what he or she is learning. Read More

I have my special teaching method "PPP" which refers to "Passionate, Personal and Professional". "Passionate" - I believe that music should help people find the beauty and happiness in their lives; "Personal" - Teaching should be very personal! Everyone has a different background and we are all unique! I always custom lesson plans for each of my students and we could discuss about your personal plan; "Professional" - No matter if you are learning music for fun or you have a goal in pursuing music as a career, I would always teach and help the students to improve the musicianships under the professional standard.

I truly enjoy watching my students develop a deep and important love for music. I believe the way to facilitate that is to really get to know your students. Some students benefit from organization while others do better with a more relaxed approach. I take the time to understand what each individual needs and I reflect on what I can do to meet them where they are. My lessons come with structure AND flexibility. Read More

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I think I’ve always known it would happen. I played dress up as a little girl, pretending I was notable broadway characters.
And in my mind I was performing in front of a full audience.
More practically, I think I really knew in college. I had wonderful professors and saw how much they loved to teach and many of them still performed.
Watching them be able to do both, was extremely encouraging and gave me hope in a bright future in musical artistry.
Of course, there are years of performing for free before you make it big, so I think when that first real offer happened, that was when I knew all the hard work was paying off.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My grandmother was a church pianist and a savant when it came to her understanding of music. While untrained, she still had an amazing ear and could analyze chords like a master.
My father was a percussionist and music minor in college and I grew up with him being my accompanist. Eventually I outgrew him and we needed to hire a professional to be able to keep up with the difficult arias I was performing.
My mother’s side of the family is much more visual when it comes to art forms. My grandfather is a world famous ceramic artist and I attribute both sides of the family being instrumental in fostering an artistic environment.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I absolutely love musical theater. I have since I was a little girl and I would pretend I was Maria leaving the Abby or Grizabella recalling her youth.
It’s my first love and I hold it close to my heart.
However, when you’ve put in the time, effort, and proper technique, singing opera is incredibly fun. There’s nothing like it. It feels like flying.
However there are very few genres I don’t enjoy performing. I’ve been able to be in shows where I’ve needed to sing Elton John, Lionel Ritchie, Rogers and Hammerstein, and Puccini all in one night.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I wasn’t a musician, I would still be acting. I can’t see myself doing anything outside of art full time.
I have plenty of friends from school who gave up when it got hard and are now doing other things. They have very respectable jobs, but I know many of them see what I’m doing now and wish that hadn’t given up so soon.
I always knew that I’d never be satisfied in my life if I gave up on performing and teaching. I’ve had plenty of different survival jobs along the way and it’s shown me that I can excel in anything I put my mind to, so I might as well excel at what I’m passionate about.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I would love to perform the Bell Aria from Lakme or Zerbinetta’s aria from Ariadne auf Naxos with a full orchestra.
I performed the latter in my masters recital with a pianist and it gave me a taste for the real thing.
As far as a dream role, I would love to play Amalia in She Loves Me. I was incredibly fortunate to see Laura Benanti in the role on Broadway and I’m crossing my fingers that it comes back to broadway before I outgrow the role.
The entire piece is wonderful and I can’t wait to sing Vanilla Ice Cream in front of an audience.
