Instruments: Piano Flute Recorder
I see it as a great honor and serious responsibility to be able to teach music. Based on my own experience, the connection between the teacher and student is one of the most important factors in developing a student's passion for music, and encouraging them to progress. While my teaching approach varies with each individual, all students should feel supported and encouraged to be expressive players and thoughtful musicians. Read More

My teaching experience started after college, teaching a family friend bass guitar. From there I realized I could just as well teach guitar, piano, and saxophone as well. I find it rewarding to watch people grow and learn skills they can use the rest of their life, enriching their life with the expression of music. From taking private lessons of my own on saxophone and guitar throughout high school and college, I've learned that consistency of practice is key! Read More

I have a vibrant personality and I love teaching, especially when it comes to helping students grasp things where traditional teaching methods have proved to be intimidating or unaccommodating. I have performed in a variety of ensembles and have produced multiple volumes of my own compositions. My musical background is rooted in jazz, funk, soul, and latin music, and my teaching method will tend to emphasize "grooves," with a special eye toward harmony, syncopation, comping, and improvisation.

I offer Piano and Music theory lessons to students of all ages and levels. Each of my student gets customized curriculum and repertoire. The first lessons includes talking about your goals, discussing your music preferences and experience, your availability to practice weekly, and making a plan for you for the next six months. Do you want to play just for your self or would you like to perform publicly? Do you like to be on stage or do you have a fear of stage? Read More

Honestly, it's up to the student. I have truly enjoyed teaching all kinds of music, and my students and I have had lots of success learning fun, easy, and challenging songs. This also includes the option for the student to learn the vocal melodies of these tunes! Lastly, I am able to provide students the opportunity to write their own songs. This also includes writing vocal melodies and lyrics. This is the most popular mode of learning for my students thus far. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute
A good technical foundation is the hallmark of musical performance, appreciation and motivation. I believe the student witnessing their own progress develop serves a greater motivation than any empty words a teacher can say. Their own satisfaction prompts them to practice more, fed by the very spark of musical desire they possess within them. Practicing is not fun, but playing music is. To be able to pick up new music and play it on the spot are the moments of vindication that makes the student realize their efforts have truly been worth it. Read More

I am a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and helping plant and grow a love for music. I got a degree in music from NOVA Community College in 2012 and am working on my BM from George Mason in Music Education. Right now, I perform all over the NOVA area with many community bands, a personal sax quartet, and I am even a part of a Balalaika Symphony Orchestra. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing is what you make of it. Each time you do so clear your mind of all distractions so that way you can concentrate on the task at hand. Remember that practicing is not a chore or job. It's only how to want to perceive it. It can be like pulling teeth if your effort is lacking. It can be a walk in the park if your focus is correct. I for one didn't care for it when I first started. That being said, the older I got and more recitals/gigs I did, you bet I wanted to practice. Take your time, don't get frustrated, and have fun.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Piano is my primary. The love and passion I have for it knows no bounds. I started at age 5 because my brother was getting candy for lessons. As a child I wanted candy as well. As I got older being able to play last at recitals, gigs, church specials, weddings, I where I really and truly blossomed. The art and grace of the piano comes from within my heart and mind. I would never make another instrument my bread and butter. To me personally the piano speaks to the heart and soul more than any other music instrument.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Classical is my favorite to play. This is where ALL music genres have come from. Whether it is country, pop, rock, jazz, hip hop, etc. Music started with Mozart, Beethoven, Bach. Each piece or movement of a song tells us a story. Whether sad, happy, melancholy, joyful. It truly paints a picture of vivid colors and imagination. Tying all the elements together from strings to percussion, to woodwinds and brass. Each period in classical music differs from one another. This is why we have so many different genres in today's music.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I joined my school orchestra at 12 wanting to be an accompanist for them. Little did I know that I would take up violin and viola. I was absolutely terrible at both of them until I started to take lessons and incorporate what I was learning in piano to the other stringed instruments. My strive for greatness in all 3 was unimaginable. I wanted to be the best at them all. Each one gave me something different. The piano was my full orchestra on 88 keys, but the violin and viola where more personal because of how hard they are to play.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Music is extremely strong in my family. My brother and I are the most gifted/talented. We have done over 20 weddings and 100s of church services. He is a orchestra professor in a different state and plays 7 instruments including (his main) cello, electric and acoustic guitar and drums. You can just imagine the fun my parents had with my brother and I playing all the time. My mother took piano and guitar when she was young and my father was part of the school choir. Music is a cornerstone in my family.
