Instruments: Piano Ukulele Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
For my young piano students, I use the structure of the Faber series to slowly introduce concepts. For my guitar students I have had great success with the Mel Bay series, which combines initial chord playing and some music reading fundamentals. For ukulele, I utilize the Hal Leonard service. With all of my students, I always want to have the students choose songs they like and that they can set as realistic goals. Read More

I am an experienced musician who has a passion for music and a passion for teaching. I have performed playing the violin, piano, guitar, viola, bass guitar, and the drums. Even though I play many instruments, I am only interested in teaching piano, violin, and guitar. Outside of being a music teacher, I am currently earning my Master's Degree in Mathematics. I was formerly a high school math teacher, but I want to earn my Master's degree in math so that I could teach math at the college level. Read More

I am committed to the advancement of my students and feel really encouraged to see them grow and change. From younger to older - beginning, intermediate, or advanced - I will always try my hardest to keep you engaged and moving forward. Read More

I believe that encouragement, practical positivity, different learning styles and realistic short term long term challenges can aid in you or your child's musical success. I emphasize developing positive down to earth relationships with my students so that they feel like they can be themselves and learn in a safe environment. Developing relationships also aids in understanding what you or your child's learning style is and in creating realistic short term and long term goals lesson plans. Read More

I am very encouraging and patient as a teacher, i understand how learning is when your trying to get over the hurdles. My compassion allows me to put myself in the students shoes, which makes me a better teacher. I like to encourage the student to listen to artists and incorporate musical philosophy to inspire the student to play and achieve and experiment. I think being curious is a musician's best friend, it creates the drive to want to learn more. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar
I'm a multi-instrumentalist, improvisor, composer and educator who takes great joy in teaching and sharing music with people of all ages. I've been deeply fortunate to have studied closely with multiple master musicians of various traditions. Perhaps the teacher who has had the deepest impact on my teaching methods is W.A. Mathieu, former arranger and bandmember of the Duke Ellington and Stan Kenton orchestras. I studied with Mathieu for three years. Read More

I'm a lover of music and want those who pursue music to be as well! I am passionately motivated as a musician, minister of music, and singer. I have performed throughout this nation as a guest musician and in my own backyard as a vocalist and musician.

Instruments: Flute Piccolo
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
While I enjoy playing classical music for its intricate compositions and technical challenges, my favorite genre is gospel. I love gospel music because it allows for a communal experience where we can all sing together and uplift each other through powerful messages. The joy and emotion in gospel music create a unique connection that makes every performance special!
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I weren't a musician, I believe I would have pursued a career as a teacher or a counselor. I’ve always had a passion for helping others, and I still have a strong interest in teaching and counseling. Nevertheless, by giving lessons, I am also a teacher, and through making music together in my students' lives, I provide a form of counseling—not with words, but through rhythms and notes. I am actively seeking opportunities to learn more about these fields so I can further develop professionally and continue making a positive impact in people’s lives.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session for me typically begins with a warm-up to get my fingers and breath working. I usually spend about 10-15 minutes on long tones and scales to build my sound and technique. After that, I focus on specific repertoire or pieces I’m currently preparing, breaking them down into sections to work on difficult passages. I like to incorporate a mix of classical and modern pieces, as this keeps my practice engaging and helps me explore different musical styles. Additionally, I spend some time improvising or playing along with backing tracks to develop my creativity and musicality. I always aim to reflect on my progress at the end of the session, making notes on areas to improve for next time. Overall, my practice sessions are structured yet flexible, allowing me to adapt based on my needs and goals.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I hold a Master of Music degree in Flute Performance from Northwestern University and a Bachelor of Music degree in Flute Performance with a concentration in Music Education from the New England Conservatory of Music. I chose to pursue Performance because I have always been passionate about sharing music with others and expressing emotions through my playing. The artistry and technical skills involved in performance have always captivated me. Additionally, my concentration in Music Education reflects my commitment to teaching and inspiring the next generation of musicians. I believe that music has the power to connect people and transform lives, and I want to be a part of that journey for my students.
