Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Clarinet
Young students love playing the pop tunes, so I whole-heartedly accept them finding a book of broadway or pop tunes and brining it to lessons. For the older students, I always go to the Rose 32 Etudes for Clarinet, focusing primarily on the slower etudes to continue developing tone. Scales are also a must for all ages - I stress the importance of tone with these exercises because it's not just about the fingers. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Music
I began my teaching career in 2014. I was involved in a program where I worked under established teachers and observed them teach. I then took over their classes and received feedback and guidance from them. Since moving to Chicago in 2017, I have worked with a music school and taught private lessons as well as group lessons in Chicago Public Schools. I am trained in the Suzuki method and heavily rely on that in my teaching. Read More

At this point in time I've been blessed with the opportunities to teach in both private one-on-one tutoring settings as well as with large groups of children through volunteering, student teaching and substitute teaching. It was through the summation of these experiences that I predicted- and have ultimately discovered- that I love being a music educator. The height of what fulfills me about being a music educator is the essence of the work: Exploration and nurturing for both the student and the teacher. Read More

I have been a teacher my whole life. In high school, I tutored Shotokan Karate classes, taught swimming lessons, tutored younger students, and taught drum lessons. In college, I was a peer tutor for writing, and continued to teach drum lessons. Since graduating, I have regularly taught drum lessons, and now instruct Kundalini Yoga/Meditation as well. I have an intuitive sense of what any individual student needs and can always break things down in the most digestible way possible, and can teach anybody how to do anything. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Organ Synthesizer Keyboard
I build each lesson around the needs of each student and what they would like to accomplish. I help them set reasonable practice and achievement goals. If there is a style of music they would like to learn or a particular song, I try to fit it in with the lesson and use it as a teaching tool as well. Proper technique is the foundation for exceptional performance. I spend at least 5-10 minutes each lesson on technique. Read More

I have been a band director for several years teaching elementary, middle school and high school students. I have taught beginner and intermediate group piano and private piano lessons for 7 years. I have taught private brass lessons of a wide range of ages and abilities since 2008. I have taught ages of elementary school through adult. I have found that fundamentals are the key to success at every age. Through quickly identifying strengths and weaknesses, and catering to ambitions and desires, my students experience a fun and inspirational learning environment. Read More

I started playing piano since I was 7. My dream was to be a church musician so I when to a college and graduated with a Bachelor of Church Music. My job title is a church pianist and church organist. It's been almost 30 years since I've been playing and teaching my skills to people. I'm a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Choose quality over quantity every time. Often times, there are events in our everyday lives that we can't pass up on and some times that effects our practice schedule. When faced with situations such as these, it's better to refine your session to one idea and really get it down rather than trying to cram as much in as possible. Take small, controlled steps when taking on a big project. Heavy leaps can result in error and cause frustration. Slow and steady wins the race and music is a life long practice.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
A good sign that you're kid is ready for private lessons would be if they take sharp interest in music early on or if they're seated within the top chairs of the instrument section they're in. Students who take interest early on might develop a good ear by singing accurately to songs they hear on the radio, are able to produce an uncanny amount of sound on their instrument for their age or perhaps can sight read easier than most others. The easiest way to find it would be to simply ask but that's when knowing your child's behavior is best. Some times a kid will think they're already good enough and they don't need guidance and other times they may be too shy.
When will I start to see results?
It's important to have goals or have a general idea that you want to complete for the student but it's also important not to think about specific dates for reaching a specific results. This ideology can lead to too much pressure and cause stress. If a student does their work efficiently and keeps a consistent pattern, results will come. You can start to see results within a few days or weeks, depending on much time a day you have to dedicate to your practice. The important thing it to not get overwhelmed. Patience is a virtue!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes! My high school band camp instructor inspired my friend and I to pursue music professionally. We had already been interested but he really refined our thought process on a lot of things musically and non-musically that helped shape me into the person I am today. His skill and knowledge was inspiring because he made everything look so simple. This way of thought really caught my attention when I was a student. He's still very active in the music composition community which means he's still influential to me.
