Instruments: Piano Flute Music
For beginning students in flute and piano, I use Trevor Wye flute books and Alfred piano books, respectively. These books cover fundamentals and hand technique and once that is learned and internalized, then I will introduce more solo or accompanied repertoire that they would eventually perform in a recital. For beginning composition students (which are taught remotely on Zoom), I will go over different "lectures" about fundamental music theory and integrate short composition assignments that go according to what was learned in the lesson.

I am a laid-back, patient, fun teacher, who is always looking for new ways to motivate and inspire her students. Before anything, I make sure my students are comfortable with me and relaxed. I am nurturing and creative in my lessons and aim to build my students' confidence and pride in their musical achievements while teaching self-discipline so that they will reach and celebrate many milestones. I love music, and I love helping spread that passion to my students. Read More

I am an Artist who loves to see his students succeed. I have a strong passion for music, and utilize that passion and the skills I've developed throughout my career to cultivate students into fellow Artists. My primary goal as a teacher is to tap into the potential artistry of the students. For that reason, I am not as focused on the technical skills, as I am about spotlighting the inspiration that will facilitate the student to embody the Artist with original expression and purpose in their art form.

My teaching style will be depending on the student's demands first. Then I will teach the skill I feel he needs to improve. Once lessons are going I will propose diference kind of material and bassed on the student's interest I will focus my lessons. The most import thing for me is having a happy and motived student. If a student is not feeling the instrument is because he is not having fun. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Flute Clarinet
The most rewarding thing for me in teaching is learning how to create with my student. Finding the best tools for growth with the student and accessing them is the crucial component to how I teach. Gaining trust, confidence, and joy in lessons produces the highest and most sustainable growth and development of the technique, sound, and musicality of the growing musician. Read More
Instruments: Piano Clarinet
I teach all styles of music. I begin teaching from piano books published by Alfred. I also have the student learn their scales as well as give a weekly written music theory assignment. I incorporate styles and songs the student enjoys listening to or playing as well. I like to teach classical music. With this foundation, ALL other music is much easier to play, and helps tremendously with their sight reading skills. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My parents actually chose it for me. I had a lot of friends when I was young who played piano and my parents spoke with their parents and got me into piano lessons. It was my primary instrument through most of my life.
I do now consider myself more a vocalist than a pianist, and that switch started in high school, but I didn't solidify that change until my second year of college when I switched into a music major from a science major and realized that vocal performance was more of my calling than piano.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of the tour I did in Italy. I was one of 10 performers chosen to perform at numerous concerts throughout the Marche region of Italy over 3 months. I also got to study with some former Met Opera performers while I was there.
The audition process was hard and I am still surprised to this day that I was chosen, but it was such an honor and an eye opening experience to the real world of performance. It was one of the coolest performances I have ever done and it rivals the accomplishment of getting my Master's Degree.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
On piano, I think that the hardest thing to master is proper fingering and being able to match a composer's tempo. Often times practicing slower and building up to a faster tempo is necessary and that can be frustrating for a musician sometimes.
On voice, I think that the hardest thing is being able to keep consistent technique even through voice changes and developments. I think this along with vocal control in faster music is also a challenge. Making sure that the support is there without faltering.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
For piano, I always use the Alfred series. I used them when I was starting, as did many of my friends who were studying piano and went on to be full time piano performers. Because of this, I stick to these books. They are easy to understand and follow a logical learning pattern that even non-musical parents can help their kids follow.
For voice, I use a combination of the English and Italian schools of vocal technique to teach. These are the most commonly accepted in the classical vocal world and can be modified for different styles of vocal music easily.
