Instruments: Piano Voice Trombone Drums Synthesizer Euphonium Tuba Music Keyboard
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's 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 students 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 Cello
I believe that I'm an understanding and kind teacher, but I will also be strict enough where students will end up slacking off. It's important that students advance at an appropriate pace - I don't want students to end up wasting their money, their time, and my time. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson, and give them tips on how to further improve their playing. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Music
My teaching style is very thorough and patient. I welcome mistakes of course! It is not about how often you fall down, but about how you get up again. If you want to work hard, I will work hard as well. My students know the importance of regular practice in order to build dependable muscle memory in their playing. In a lesson we will spend half the amount of time working on technical building exercises and half the time working on repertoire. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
The electric guitar quickly became a part of my identity, a part of my security, and has remained as a stable force in my life. I've been lucky to have a diverse professional musical career, studying jazz at SUNY New Paltz, nationally touring in a Zydeco Punk band, fronting my own band of originals, singing and playing guitar in rock musicals, and composing soundtracks. All while keeping up my teaching practice. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone French Horn Keyboard
For beginning trumpet/trombone students: Rubank Book 1, Arbans Complete Method, Max Schlossberg, Gatti Grand Method, Peretti Book. For beginning piano students: Bastien Piano Series, Music for Little Mozarts, Alfred Series **All books mentioned progressively get harder and can be used for the advanced student as well** I like to focus and pin point what the student needs the most work with to make him/her progress and succeed on their instrument.

Instruments: Piano Voice
I am a dedicated teacher who enjoys working with students of all levels. I graduated from the Hartt School of Music of the University of Hartford in 2013 with a Bachelor of Music degree in Vocal Performance. The operatic roles that I performed while at the Hartt School include Leila in Gilbert and Sullivan’s Iolanthe and The Strawberry Woman in Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess. Since graduating from the Hartt School, I have sung roles with Hartford Opera Theater in Hartford, CT as well as Haymarket Opera Company in Chicago, IL, among others. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
My philosphy for all my students is that any student can achieve any goal if they believe in themselves and put in steady effort. One of my major teaching methods involves learning music the student listens to regularly. So much is learned from this process be it technique, time, rhythm, theory, but the most important part is that the students love and understanding of music grows, not just their knowledge. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
My student Patrick Wilhelm, Baritone, has graduated from the Curtis Conservatory of Music and is now singing as a principal artist with Virginia Opera and Wolftrap Opera Company in DC. He has sung in recitals internationally and has excellent reviews!
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Music does run in my family. My grandfather was a well-know Jazz musician photographer. We grew up listening to jazz and classical musical day and night. My brother became a well know Jazz musician and teacher in San Francisco. He plays Clarinet, Sax and flute. He is a recording artist and travels all over the world spreading jazz from place to place. He is the conductor of a Cartoon Jazz Band, Saxophone Sextet and two Big Bands.
I travelled the classical route beginning in Jr High School. After my college studies, I went to work with The New York City Opera with The wonderful Beverly Sills. Following that, I started my own Acapella chorus called “Ah-Capella” which performed in various NYC venues. Broadway then was my calling, where I stayed in the producing and casting sector for a decade. i have been teaching Voice and Piano privately for two decades. I also sing in The Cecilia Chorus of New York which performs twice a year in Carnegie Hall. I am a Section Leader with this extraordinary chorus which I have been sing with for nine years.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing about being a singer/musician, is that every day is different. Since singers depend on their breath to support their tone, we must treat out instrument, which are our bodies, with great care. Humidity, cold, performing environment, all play into how we may breathe and produce sound. As a pianist as well, I know when I need to play an A, it will be there on the piano every time. Singers must warm up and nurture their instrument to the best of their ability so they can produce that A everyday.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Look forward to practicing. It is a wonderful investment in your musicianship. It is time you deserve to focus on your craft. Isolate the specified measures that need the extra time. Repetition is key. Set a goal, i.e, “ I will play these four measures perfectly five consecutive times.” If you make an error during the third time, you must start from the first time. After you have completed this goal, implement it into the piece and your practice time will be golden.
