Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Flute Organ
I like to challenge my students when I feel they should be. I also try very hard to showcase them whenever possible to show the community the great talent that is amongst us. I would have to say my main approach to teaching is figuring out what works best for each individual student, seeing as though everyone learns differently and at different paces. Forcing a student to learn something when they don't want to is something I do not allow, I can only encourage but not force. Read More

I believe, the beggest advantage of the teacher, do not put pressure on the student personaliity, do not to impose your own individuality, dose not make it a role model and play for yourstudents as much as possible. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet
I cater my teaching and methods to each individual student and his/her needs and goals. For beginners, I often use Hal Leonard’s Essential Elements. After progressing past that, the Rubank books and Hite etudes work for many students. Starting around 8th grade, I introduce solo repertoire appropriate to their level. During lessons, I always have students work on some form of scale, sight-reading, and ear training. I have several duet books (and a Disney book!) that students love to sight-read from. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar
For piano, I typically use the Faber Piano Adventures Series; however, I am open to other method books as well. The Faber series has theory, technique, lesson, and performance books, each with different skills and techniques to learn. I find that those books offer the most comprehensive learning. In addition to the Faber books, I also utilize online worksheets for supplemental learning. For guitar, I typically use online worksheets and chord sheets, and from there, I encourage students to purchase specific guitar books they are interested in (for example, Disney books, classic rock books, Beatles books, etc.).

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Touch your instrument every day you eat. LOL! In all seriousness, it is better to practice a little bit for many days in between lessons, than just cram a practice session in the day before. ALWAYS practice the day of your lesson (right after) OR the next day to put into practice at home what you learned during the lesson.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
What I like is if your child can read, they are ready. I will take younger children, with parent involvement - and those lessons are more game based and introduction to the instrument rather than serious study.
When will I start to see results?
The more time you invest in your instrument and the more you practice the way the teacher asks you to practice, the sooner the results. I also tell students that I go as fast or slow as the student tells me, through the interactions at lesson. Some students go very quickly and learn quickly, others need more time.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My mother is in music, and you can say I was in music before I was even born. She is definitely an inspiration and a current teacher of mine in both piano, pedagogy, and business. My flute teacher is Gary Schocker, the more prolific living flute composer, and is absolutely a fabulous flute player! I have learned so much from him - and when he looked at me and said, "Why you can really play!" I think it changed my life!
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose flute since before I was born. The first instruments I recognized was piano (my mother's instrument) and flute. We think she composed a flute solo in her final senior orchestral composition project, which I must have attached to.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of being able to use my music no matter what was happening in life- from losing family members, to moving around the country since marriage, to raising 5 children. It has always been a part of my life, and I have always found places to play.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
One that comes to mind is a flute student of mine when I taught in Naperville, IL. The Catholic Church in town was very particular on who would play for important services, and one of the most important ones was the midnight mass on Christmas Eve/Day. She was chosen as a sophomore in high school to play in that orchestra, the only high schooler asked in the parish. I went into the crowded church and found a seat in a tiny corner. It was one of the most beautiful musical times I was able to enjoy!
