Instruments: Piano
One of my favorite things to do is share my passion for music with others. I've found music to be the greatest inspiration in my life, and I love being able to introduce it to my students. I've been taking piano lessons ever since I can remember, becoming more and more serious as the years passed. In 2009, I joined a choir and a band through American Music Abroad, which took me on a 3 week tour of Europe. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I began playing the piano at the age of 3, my father was a musician, and my first teacher! I continued to study classical, pop, and jazz stlyes, and began performing at age 7, and teaching in high school. Since college, I have maintained a private studio, either at home or in pretigious music schools, and have also taught in the school setting. Many of my students have won awards and continue as adults to pursue music- making. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I believe in the power of music learning as a personally empowering experience of creativity, and also as a beneficial support for the human brain at any age. I don't believe in pushing students beyond their ambition--my expectations are contextualized to authentically meaningful aspirations of each student. For the rare student who has serious professional ambition, I will absolutely push them to achieve the highest level of performance ability. For a student prepping for an audition, I will guide them based on my experience as both a prospective student and as a professor who has run hundreds of auditions. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Saxophone Clarinet
The Rubank Method offers some solos, but in addition, for the High School student I teach them the Weber Concertino, Mozart Concerto- first movement, Brahms Second Sonata for the advanced High School and College student. Lesson plans for the advanced High School student include scales, major and minor, Rose Etudes and solos. I love it when my students play with confidence and accuracy(rhythmically, fingerings, correct pitch and phrasing. S Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
For piano, I like to begin with fundamentals such as five finger exercises and musical literacy teachings to ensure growth of musical understanding as well as proper technique. I have had great success using the Faber and Faber book series, as this gets students in the music quickly. From there, there is so much solo repertoire to explore! I have a passion and preference for classical composers, but have experience with pop and modern techniques as well. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I'm a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music. In 2011, I graduated from the University of Denver with a Bachelor's Degree in Piano Performance. I gave two recitals at the Univeristy in 2010 and 2011, and performed Rhapsody in Blue with the Aurora Symphony Orchestra in 2010. I am a member of Music Teachers National Association and Suzuki Association of the Americas, and I am a certified Suzuki Piano Instructor. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I know of the importance and rewards of a good music education. Playing a musical instrument can give a student much self confidence, relaxation and enjoyment. It is rewarding for me to work towards that goal for every student that I have the privilege of teaching. I share my positive musical experiences with my students so that they will continue to explore and appreciate performing and also listening to music. Read More

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My mother is a choir and theatre teacher who also teaches private piano, and I grew up watching her teach, sing, and play with intense curiosity. My grandparents were both singers, my grandmother having been trained as a soprano at the Berlin Conservatory. I have a younger brother who sings in choirs for fun, and a close friend/"brother" who is a talented drummer, bassist, guitarist, vocalist, audio engineer, and teacher who has toured with over 300 bands at local, national, and international levels.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I would love to play a cello or piano concerto that I will have written myself. I love performing new music and getting to share my own with audiences, and a solo work (with or without accompaniment) is the perfect way to show off the best parts of being a composer and a performer.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Music in Composition with certification in Music Technology. I chose this degree because, at least as far as I'm concerned, a composition degree is really a performance degree with work in composition, and I wanted to have the most versatile undergraduate education possible. I am on the Music Technology certificate track because recording and editing music is something that I have always enjoyed doing and it is an extremely useful skill for any and every musician looking to market their own performances and/or original music.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I usually warm up with a scale or a Hanon exercise (depending on the instrument), either chosen random by a spinning wheel or by picking a scale/exercise that pertains to the piece that I am about to practice. I spend time playing through the material and finding spots that I need to fix and breaking them down into chunks that are usually no more than five notes to a couple of measures at a time and gradually building back up. Practicing involves a lot of repetition, slowing down the tempo, and patience. I try to end every practice session by jamming on my instrument by ear to a song from my shuffle playlist, to work on ear training and end with some fun.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I were not a musician, I am fairly sure that I would be working somewhere in technology, along the lines of web programming, website design, and social media software development. I love working with computers and figuring out how things work!
