I began teaching in my late teenage years through a summer program provide through my church. The program is a week long program for kids ages 4-18 and during the program I gave lessons to over 15 students. Shortly after, I began to advertise my ability to give private instruction. Through self advertisement I gained a few adult students and began giving private instruction to earn money. Since then I’ve gained students through recommendations and word of mouth. Read More

I currently go to school at Nazareth College and am in the graduate program in creative arts therapy and am an intern at Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, IL. I have worked with older adults with alzheimer's, adults with mental health issues, hosptialized children and adolescents, and survivors of stroke. I plan to work in a medical facility as a music therapist once I graduate from school. As a result of my music therapy practice, I am very proficient in piano and guitar and can teach beggining and intermediate students on these instruments. Read More

As I mentioned previously, I find it very important that every student be approached from an individual, customized standpoint. However, I do find it important that every student has a strong basis in fundamentals and sound quality so that they have a strong foundation which they can then build upon. For beginning students, I will typically start them with rudiments and eventually work them into a mix of published and improvised solos to foster both technical progress and artistic creativity.

As an instructor and musician I have explored a huge variety of different musical styles froma roudn the world, as well as the cognitive fundamentals of learning. I try to preapre my students with learning tools that will allow them to continue improving even after my time as their instructor is over. I focus especially on building an understanding of how and why to acquire strong fundamentals, so that we can collaboratively drive their learning. Read More
Instruments: Piano
The more a student feels like he/she has accomplished, the more patience and dedication the student acquires. After a student has established that piano is fun/rewarding, I like to slowly incorporate the study of music theory. With music theory a student can begin to codify and understand where these sounds come from. This greater understanding and insight empowers the student to play more musically, or creatively--whether in performing notes written, or improvisationally/compositionally. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
Im a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students of all ages and sharing my love of music! In 2010, I graduated from Bradley University with a Bachelor of Music degree in vocal performance. I started teaching private lessons while in college and loved it so much I never stopped! I have performed in various choirs and ensembles throughout the years and enjoy performing in musical theater productions. Some of my favorite roles include Cosette from Les Miserables and Lily from the Secret Garden. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
go over everything the teacher assigns, 3-4 times, daily. if that takes 10mins great! if it takes longer give the student less.
When learning a new element, initially, the brain is highly activated and performs synapses and usually can perform a3-4 more synapses. This is when learning and memory take place. When you go over it again in sequence, the brain is engaged, but if repeated too many times as in telling the student, "you must practice for .......minutes," the brain stops the synapses and the student may at that time be developing mistakes in the piece.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Typically, the student will express some type of interest in music. Oftentimes, the mother's intuition is correct.
The child will sing a lot, or if an instrument is available, they will play it often and at random times. Music in a public place may catch their attention. I've had a few students that the parents observed their child tapping their fingers.
Sometimes the child will exhibit traits that indicate a high intelligence yet communication skills are inadequate
They may draw a lot
They may exhibit bi-lateral difficulties, meaning the left-hand tries to perform right-hand commands
When will I start to see results?
All children learn differently, especially a child gifted in music. Some learn quickly and progress rapidly initially, some take much longer to learn and master new concepts and then apply that concept to another domain in the brain. A slower learning child does not mean that the child cannot get it. The teacher needs to be aware that the many many different aspects and elements of music are developed and established in many many different regions of the brain. each must be step-by-step developed and established. Then that information is transferred to the motor-sensory regions where everything is integrated.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had several uninspiring teachers and only one that inspired me to develop the depth of God-given talent in me. The un-inspiring teachers were critical and negative and we studied mediocre music. I have perfect pitch si i could read music but played everything "by ear". I was completely unaware that I was not reading the music score! I learned by listening and watching my teacher's hands. That was my first clue that one method of instruction fits all. It was my first step on learning about the brain and music.
