Instruments:
I was a former jingle composer in NYC within a big advertising agency, creating tunes for Purina Cat Chow, Cookie Crisp and other brands. I went back to grad school later in life to pursue a teaching degree. Recently, I was a Middle and High School Chorus Teacher in Westchester.
Instruments:
My musical background began during my childhood South Africa with a very European-style approach to learning classical piano. Later, after emigrating to the U.S., I majored in music with a concentration on performance and music history. I have always been intrigued by the complicated development of classical music in Europe with a special interest in the music of Beethoven. Later, I returned to college in order to become certified in music education - in great part because I believe in bringing music to classrooms where students might otherwise not have any direct connection with music.
Instruments:
I have performed professionally in opera, operetta, and oratorio across the United States and Europe. I have studied vocal performance at University of Missouri-Kansas City Conservatory of Music, the Mozarteum and Universitaet Salzburg in Salzburg, Austria, and the University of Maine-Orono. I have a BA in German Language & Literature from UMKC and also teach foreign languages privately. I performed at the Lyric Opera of Kansas City for 11 consecutive seasons and was co-founder, President, and Artistic Director of Kansas City Metro Opera. I have played trombone in swing bands, marching bands, pit bands, orchestras, and pit orchestras for over 25 years. I have also conducted and directed many productions in opera and musical theatre as well as directed both small and large choral ensembles.
Instruments:
The way I learned is the way I teach. I was taught the same way multiple ways and because of this I can give students different avenues to learn the same thing. So if they don't understand it in A, or B, I still have C, and D as a back up. I try to include the student to help navigate their own lesson plan and figure out what they want to focus on. Too many times a student is learning things they don't fully understand or even want to understand. having an open line of understanding and communication is something I value and hold dear to my teachings.
Instruments:
I am a multi-instrumentalist teacher who loves bringing my experience on the bandstand and in the studio to students. I graduated SUNY Purchase specializing in jazz performance, have been on tour throughout the east coast and Midwest with 'The Element', and performed extensively in the Westchester and NYC area playing with 'Mokaad'. I have been fortunate enough to share the bandstand with greats such as Bernard Purdie, Charlie Lagond, and Gabriel Garzon-Montano. I have played professionally as a keyboard player and guitarist, and played bass and drums in a variety of studio situations.
