Instruments: Piano
For beginning students, I usually start with The Rusian School of playing, book 1, combined with some easy traditional songs. When the student has progressed, I will begin to introduce classical repertoire. I'm always trying to choose the right compositions for my students, depending on their interests. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion
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.

Instruments: Piano Organ Synthesizer Keyboard
In my private lesson, you'll gain an understanding, not only of the piano and how to play it in many different styles, but also of music, how it works and how songs are formed and structured. You are about to begin a journey of playing the piano that will take you as far as you are willing and able to go. I will give you everything you need to learn to play the piano by ear, along with lots of extras. Read More
Instruments: Piano
As a teacher nothing is more rewarding than seeing my students love and grow in their passion for music and the piano! I want them to feel like they are continuing to enjoy it most while growing at their own pace. It is important that we set goals so that we can continue seeing progress in their growth. The lessons I plan out for them are geared towards their continued progress in theory, technique, performance and scale work. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums Recorder Euphonium Tuba Mallet Percussion
I began teaching people how to play instruments when I was in high school, by teaching new students to the band how to play percussion. I then continued teaching once in college by volunteering at local high schools helping new students to the band programs learn brass and percussion. From there I worked with the Rich South high school band director and the Jack Hille middle school band directors. Once I graduated college I taught choir and instrumental music for the catholic school system for two years. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Flute Piccolo
I'm an enthusiastic musician that believes in working hard while still having fun. I graduated from Carroll University in 2018 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music Liberal Arts, and have performed as principal flute for an international music project between Carroll University, Marquette, UW Milwaukee, and multiple Italian conservatories all throughout Italy, Germany, and Austria. I am also involved in the Kenosha and Waukesha communities as a member of both the Waukesha Area Symphonic Band and the Kenosha Chamber Choir. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Viola Music Keyboard
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
My parents put me into violin and piano lessons when I was 4, so I started very young. A musical education was always a necessary part of my life per what my parents believed, and as I have grown older and made this a career, I value this greatly. When I started doing musical theatre, I realized how much I loved to sing and that this was what I needed to do with my life. As an adult, I added the ukulele into my skills in order to accompany myself when a piano either isn't available or when I am traveling and need a small instrument to take with.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I was probably 12 when I decided to become a professional musician. I auditioned for my first musical theatre show: Cinderella Goes to the Hop. I was cast as a step-sister. I completely fell in love with music and theatre due to this show, and I haven't looked back!
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes! All of my closest relatives are either professional musicians or have incorporated playing a musical instrument into their lives! My dad and his siblings grew up playing instruments and are all professional musicians now as well as their children!
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I have no clue! I have always done music and theatre. Life would feel incomplete without it. I have a few other passions such as photography and traveling, but I love those as hobbies. Once upon a time, I wanted to be a lawyer. Maybe I would have become a music industry lawyer!
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
This depends on my mood. There are periods of time when I only want to work on my musical theatre rep and times when I only want to work on pop music. I love such a variety of music!
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have always been super passionate about Musical Theatre. I did shows in middle school and high school. Life felt truly special when on the stage playing different characters, so I decided to be a Musical Theatre major in college. After a few semesters, I realized that I wanted to add more music education to my degree, so I added Music (Vocal Performance) as a second major.
When will I start to see results?
This can vary on a few things. How many days a week are you practicing? How long are you practicing per session? Are you practicing effectively, or just running through your materials once? What is your age? Have you had any prior musical background before beginning this instrument? What is your learning style? Lots of things can factor into when you will see results. Every person is different, so there is no set timeline. However, you are in total control in your progress speed.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I'm extremely proud of being able to perform at Lollapalooza with Bishop Briggs. This moment was so surreal that it's still hard to believe it. In 2022, I performed at McDonald's WWC with Musicality, and P!nk opened for us on one of the days. We had no idea this would be happening until we were waiting for the curtains to reveal us. Such an amazing and exciting experience!
