As a Teacher: I have operated my own private studio in New York City for the last 6 years. As a performer I have received rave reviews from the New York Post, performed with the Utah Festival Opera Company, the Powerhouse Theatre (directed Mark Brokaw, of Broadway's "Cinderella"), Colorado Light Opera,the dell'Arte Opera Ensemble, the freeFall Theatre, and the Cedar Rapids Opera Theatre, and am represented by Gregg Baker Management.

Instruments: Piano
All of my students learn piano classically, but I focus on finding other genres and styles that will help the student become connected with the music they learn to create. Students can expect to have structured lessons that incorporate technique exercises, rhythmic foundations, music theory, and repetoire that is appropriate for their age and ability. Each student will be assigned "homework" every week that is encouraging and motivates them to practice on their own. Read More
Instruments: Piano Synthesizer Keyboard
I love and live music and I think it's for everyone through healing Energies. I have had students as young as three years old to teach music appreciation and encourage anyone and everyone of any age to get their hands on the piano as it simulates in Orchestra. My passion is for the piano and for it to be facilitated as a tool to represent an orchestra and teach self value and self-worth as a musician. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I love watching them grow and learn through varied ways of instruction. I find that a combination of ways to motivate students to practice as well as learn music theory works best. From having log books to keep up with practice time, to flash cards to help with music theory I incorporate many methods so that students learn all they need to but do not get bored in the process.

Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard
Since I am also a composer and arranger, I tend to be partial towards the use of my own "homemade" methods.... taking on the idea of composers like Mozart, Beethoven and Schumann (example would be Album of the Young) and writing simple pieces that reinforce specific technical challenges like double thirds, left hand arpeggios, consecutive octaves, pedalling and so on. Sometimes if I have a student that likes Pink Floyd or Eric Clapton, for instance, I will do my best to come up with a simplified version of a particular song using good ole staff paper. Read More

Im from Dayton Ohio and taught piano and theory lessons at University of Dayton/ Dayton Band Music Store and from my home for many years. Average 40 students per week for a very long period. I have been playing and performing professionally most of my adult life. I am now the music director at St Clement Catholic Church in Plant City Florida. Hope to see you soon. I am looking forward to meeting with you and your family so we can discuss my teaching and professional skills. Read More
Instruments: Piano
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Yes, one young man in Mechanicsburg won special honors because of his successful piano career in high school. Unfortunately, He contracted AIDS and died as he entered college.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
For me the most difficult was the fingering of difficult passages. That's why I stress this with my students. it was not always interesting but rather boring so it took an exceptional amount of discipline.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My solo senior recital in college for which I preparedI featured Brahms and Schubert both Romantic composers. the Schubert was particular to my soul, as it depicted a base roll which reminded me os someone with an addiction like my Dad. But the piece also had a melodic escape from the horror of being addicted which also depicted my Dad.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Availability mostly. We didn't have a harp, but we had the piano. But I always loved the piano music. It was an easy sell. I have always loved piano and it percussiveness but thought it would be smarter to major in organ. However the organ prof wasn't sympathetic to the young woman's goal to be professional and I thought it wiser to major in piano and minor in voice
When will I start to see results?
If you can identify a song's melody, or hear the child humming a piece they are working on, you can begin to claim them as results. If they don't express themselves, maybe in about 6 to 12 months.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had 2 teachers who inspired me to go into music, both piano teachers: Mrs, Stebbins always gave me more modern, familiar tunes to work on even if only on the melody to play for her and she was always enthusiastic when I played the tune by ear.Dr. Centrone in my advanced stages always allowed me to accompany his girl's chorus which was an honor and I played the solo spotlight in his recitals.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Review our lesson no less than 4 times a week and not just before you come for your next lesson. good musicians learn little by little over a period of time with good hard work.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child asks questions about their parents history, or "noodle" on the keyboard, show an interest in an older student of adult, you might want to begin the process. Interview a teacher, read up on some contemporary artists who have made it and your child likes.
