Instruments: Piano Voice Synthesizer Music Keyboard
I have a friendly and laid back teaching style, maintaining student/teacher professionalism. How much or how fast the student learns depends a lot on how much they practice. For younger students I use stickers as rewards to help motivate them. I adapt to the student when it comes to the style of music we play or sing. Occasionally we may play or sing duets. I let voice students choose which songs they want to sing. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Ukulele Double Bass Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
I'm a musician to my core. I have love music since before I played it. I always like the bass guitar even though I couldn't play one (yet) and I really wanted to play bass once I heard Stanley Clarke play his bass guitar. I was blown away and I had to learn how to play bass guitar, which I did. I have traveled and performed around the world because of music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Keyboard
My main focus is trying to teach students HOW to learn music, so that they can eventually create their own methodology based on what works best for them. I have eight years of experience teaching private lessons, so I understand how to craft a curriculum to an individual's needs. Working with hundreds of different musicians has taught me that everyone learns music differently: some through sight reading, others with audio recordings, others still by watching someone else do it first. We can work on specific topics during our lessons, but I can also give you a bunch of things to review/work on during your own time. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Ukulele Mandolin
I'm nothing if not energetic and relatable. My lessons are a safe space to be yourself, and to come more and more out of your shell. Music is a fantastic form of therapy, personal growth, and self-expression, and I do everything I can to foster these. Together, we'll set realistic goals and I will hold you to them, encouraging you constantly, and gladly calling you out on your fear or laziness. Read More
Instruments: Piano
For teaching a beginning student, I prefer Music Tree by Frances Clark.It's a very good material for kids and it shows them the basics of music: rhythm, melody, and theory. For advanced students, I will determine their level and style and choose the suitable repertoire for them in each lesson. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Latin Percussion
The first half of each of my lessons willaddress the basics of music theory(i.e. rudiments, scales, etc.) and technique. The second half of each lesson is about having fun! We will digdeeper into the musicmy student isinterested in,consideringthe songs from a musician's point of view. In dissecting the song we will learn about phrasing, feel, meter, melody, chord analysis, commonalitiesamong styles and the history behind the music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
I am a composer, pianist, and singer with extensive performing and teaching experience across the U.S. and in Germany and in France, Norway, and Sweden. I have performed as a soloist and ensemble member in operas and choruses and as a pianist have performed with singers, instrumentalists, choirs, and ballet companies across the U.S. and in Europe. I am also a choral conductor. From 2008 - 2019, I taught music theory, composition, voice, piano, choir, opera workshop, and varied classroom courses at Hiram College, a respected liberal arts college in Northeast Ohio. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice does not make perfect, practice makes permanent. If you practice lazily, you will perform lazily. Practicing kind of has to be like giving yourself a mini-lesson. You need to be ready to look into a mirror for your vowel shape and catch yourself doing things that create bad habits. Practice does not have to be long. Even if you just practice 10 minutes a week, if that 10 minutes is used effectively and not lazily, it makes a difference. Take notes at your lessons, take them home, and see for yourself how your teacher’s advice really does help.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
I would say most children are ready between 1st and 3rd grade. This is prime dendrite growing time in children’s brains. You will know if they are constantly singing, if the show an affinity for performance, if they have the constant desire to “dink” around with piano keys, but most importantly... if they ask! Most children will let you know when they want to try new things, especially little ones. Music is so important for kids when it comes to other school subjects like math, reading, and writing. Take advantage of it!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
The teachers that inspire me are still very prevalent in my life. I am actually very fortunate to have grown up with them. My mother has a successful piano studio of 60 students and a large wait list. The love that she has for music and teaching has been instilled in me, and she has taught me so much of what I have learned. My grandmother is a voice and piano teacher. She no longer maintain's a large studio in her retirement, but in her hay day she had a successful studio and a musical group that toured the west coast for many years. My whole family is extremely musical.
Outside of my family, my biggest motivation comes from a teacher who I shall leave unnamed. She showed me an example of what not to be as a teacher. I have never been so close to hating music as I was with her, and I am fortunate that I was able to come out of this experience with a goal, rather than a chip on my shoulder. I want to be an encouraging teacher. I will n ever settle for less than I think a student can do, but I will also never be the one to beat them down. Lessons need to be constructive and positive.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream performance include Chopin’s Nocturne in Bb because of the intricate harmonies, rhythm elements, and style the piece shows. This piano solo is full of raw emotion, and I have worked very hard on it, without a place to perform it.
The other dream piece of mine is Die Erlkonig by Schumann. This rolling piece contains vocal techniques that I have mastered and am very proud of. The range shows three distinct characters that would extremely fun to act out, the accompaniment is exciting and fun the entire time, and I love to shownoff my German language skills.
