Instruments: Piano Voice
I began teaching private tutoring sessions to underclassmen while I was studying songwriting at Berklee College of Music. I tutored my friends in ear training, harmony, and performance/audition technique. I found the process came quite naturally to me because I brought the knowledge I had of teaching piano and voice to children in high school to the table. It is so gratifying to see the look on a student's face when they start to comprehend what it is you're teaching them! Read More
Instruments: Piano Synthesizer Keyboard
It is so rewarding to see a students eyes light up when they learn a new musical thought or concept! All students are different from one another, some have a harder time understanding certain elements in music, everyone has a different personality with strengths and weaknesses. So I ALWAYS treat my students as an individual. Comparing any student with another can damage the self confidence of the one that may be struggling. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Harp Music Keyboard
At the student's first lesson, I do a lot of observing. I like to find out their mobile dexterity, what they may already know about music or their instrument, and go from there. I'll usually decide with the student what their goals and objectives for their instrument will be so that they have something to work towards. As a teacher who is big on encouragement, I use a rewards method. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion
I began playing drums in the school band in 1987 at the age of 10 in the Pittsburgh, PA area. I took a strong interest in music throughout school and played in the marching band and concert band through to graduation. I played in a rock band with my brother until 1997. I majored in classical performance in college and eventually obtained a master's degree in that field by the age of 24. I performed in various symphony orchestras for more than a decade. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Saxophone Bass Guitar
My teaching philosophy is "exploration as a road to mastery." I help students build a repertoire they can perform. This tends to be a combination of songs they know and love, and songs that I introduce them to. I introduce the elements of music theory in relation to songs. Scales, harmony, and ear training are grasped better, and enjoyed more, once a student has context. My goal is to have each student feel safe in the learning process, while still pushing them out of their comfort zone. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Saxophone Drums
Being able to teach others and share my knowledge is what drives me, so I like to see progress. I have a goal-oriented approach that differs depending on the individual, but the results are always there. I love feeling the satisfaction of a student learning. Not to mention the relationships that are built and how much I learn from them in turn! It truly is a give and take relationship, just another individual sharing experience and knowledge. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice every day, even when you don't want to! The phrase "practice makes perfect" is true- the more you practice, the more skilled you'll become! It is important to practice a little every day. Studies show that if you practice a little each day, you'll be more skilled than if you were to practice everything in one day. This helps remember a little at a time. So don't wait until the last minute- practice for at least 10 minutes a day, and you'll be a pro in no time! I am happy to give you practice tips so you can meet all of your goals!
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My favorite piece to perform was definitely "Habanera" from the opera, Carmen. Carmen is sassy and confident and embodies all a sassy opera star wishes to be! I got to use my entire vocal range and hone in on my acting skills. It was the first piece I performed in Master Class in college, and I was so shy to get up on stage. After performing, I felt so much more confident and was able to perform any piece because I had gotten over the hump! This piece will always be special to me and will hold an important place in my heart!
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I chose my degree, Bachelor of Arts in Music, because it was the most versatile. My school only had a degree in classical voice, and I wanted to study a wide range of styles. I did not desire to be an opera singer, and I did not want my focus to only be on classical voice. I learned piano and guitar and practiced all styles of music- including classical, opera, musical theatre, pop, jazz, and rock. This made me more knowledgeable of different types of music, and it made me realize that the same fundamentals of vocal technique apply to each style of singing!
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I am incredibly proud of my student, Yana. She has won multiple awards in voice for multiple categories! She entered the American Protege competition and won first place in classical voice with the song "Nel Cor Piu Non Mi Sento". Additionally, she competed in many different categories- including self-accompaniment, pop, and musical theatre. I teach a wide variety of styles of voice and will teach you how to accompany yourself on piano and guitar, so you can go out there and start winning awards and competitions, too!
