Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Euphonium
I encourage trombone mouthpiece exercises and long tones at the beginning of my lessons as proper embouchure flexibility is important to practicing and playing better. Breathing is another aspect that I look at and always breathe by expanding the diaphragm. I use the essential elements series for trombone beginners and melodious etudes for more experienced trombone players. I believe in breaking down difficult pieces into chunks to work on in order to improve upon more difficult passages. Read More

I like to inspire people to learn playing piano by my step by step teaching style.

I will recommend "Alfred's Basic Piano Library Lesson, Theory" and "Basics of Keyboard Theory" as well as "Piano Adventures Level 1 to 2" for piano beginners. Read More

Instruments: Piano Flute Recorder Piccolo
During lessons, I often compare concepts to other activities my students know and love - their favorite sport, video games, or books. I love sharing my magic tricks - shortcut exercises to make tricky passages instantly easier, and youll definitely catch me encouraging my students to listen, listen, listen! Every genre of music has something different you can learn and it adds to your own creative toolkit. I expect students to practice regularly and thoughtfully - seeking to play their very best and working to improve every time they pick up their instrument. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I like to play new music. It is often in a strange key, time signature, etc and I like the challenge. I like to perform a lot of Jake Heggie, Samuel Barber, John Corgliano, composers like that who push the boundaries of music. I have found that not as many people follow this repertoire as closely as I do, and that I am often the first performer they hear doing the piece. This is fun for me, since my voice will be the initial background they have with the piece. It also puts pressure on me though that my performance needs to be nearly flawless so that the pieces are done justice.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I play piano and sing as well. The second instrument for me was my voice. About a year after I began playing piano my church music director approached my family and let them know she was starting a kids choir and that she would love to have me join since she heard me sing along during mass numerous times. After that, I started in the kids choir and have been singing ever since. Keeping with it was also because of her. She encouraged me to come back and perform each time she started up the kids choir and made a teen choir for me and a few other singers who were too old for kids choir but too young for the adult choir.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Music runs on my dad's side of the family. He and my Grandfather have been in choirs for years and many of my Aunt's sing as well in church choir settings. My dad at one point even wanted to be a Disk Jockey on the radio. He has a huge passion for music, my Grandfather did as well. Because they knew the church director from singing with her I was able to join the children's choir and get into music myself. My dad also played Flute for a few years when he was younger and my mom played clarinet when she was younger.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I decided to become a professional musician after my second year of my undergraduate studies. I interned at a hospital and realized I didn't want to work in medicine and my other passion was music so it was an easy choice. I was already pursuing a general music degree, so switching to performance wasn't too hard. The decision was definitely made after a defining moment and was not something that came up gradually. Until that internship at the hospital I had wanted to be a doctor since I was in elementary school and then it all changed.
