I graduated with honors from the University of Michigan with a Bachelor’s degree in Vocal Performance and a Teaching Certificate in K-12 Vocal Music. I also hold a Master of Music degree from the University of Maryland. Aside from my credentials, I possess a wealth of knowledge and experience in teaching vocal and piano technique, embodied in an approachable, humorous and joyful presence. I specialize in teaching piano and music theory, giving my students a solid foundation in the language of music which can transfer to any instrument. Read More

The recording of each lesson gives students something to look forward to at the end of our session. Whether they think that they've done really poorly or extremely well, I encourage them to listen to themselves critically and prepare to share genuine feedback. Then we discuss both their strengths and the areas of opportunity for growth. This practice helps students progress over time. Eventually, they become more expressive, creative, confident, engaged and excited about learning and sharing their talents with others. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I began teaching private lessons 9 yeras ago when some neighborhood friends encouraged me to share my love of music through teaching. Encouraging regular, consistent practice and keeping a journal of areas of focus during practice is one of the techniques I encourage for students of all ages to progress and grow in their enjoyment of the instrument. I love encouraging students to compose their own material, and to share their music in competitions and recitals, as a way to develop their passion for music and to stay motivated to learn. Read More
Instruments: Piano
My Teaching Methods For young beginners, I typically use the Alfred or Faber method books to build a strong foundation in note reading, rhythm, technique, and musical expression. As students gain confidence and a solid grasp of the fundamentals, I begin introducing solo repertoire suitable for their first recital performance. I particularly enjoy using the Keith Snell series across all levels, as these books feature original piano compositions rather than simplified arrangements. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar
I've been teaching private music lessons since I first started college in 2004. I've taught at community centers, afterschool programs, and music stores since graduating in 2008, and started my own home studio about 2 years ago. I like to teach the rudiments, as the fundamentals of music and of one's instrument provide the solid base upon which all else is built, though I also stress creativity for all my students. I encourage students to draw from many genres of music, and not limit themselves to one style or method of playing. Read More
Instruments: Piano Cello Double Bass Keyboard
Together we will create a custom lesson plan including things like scales, etudes, solos, excerpts, and covers. I like to direct students to play scales and etudes with drones that can be found online or from an app. and can offer many more helpful practice techniques. I can teach classical bass, piano, and cello, as well as pop/rock bass, piano, cello, or vocal performance. I also teach music composition, performing and arranging covers, and can coach any instrument for specific performances. Read More
Instruments: Flute
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of my solo debut performance with the New Albany Symphony Orchestra this past year. I entered their annual concerto competition after I had spent countless hours practicing and preparing the Renaissance Concerto by Lukas Foss, only to make finals but not advance further in my undergraduate concerto competition. I had absolute faith in all of the hard work I put into this piece, and I knew that if I just had one more chance to play it that I could win. I ended up winning first place in the New Albany Symphony Orchestra Concerto Competition, and I was invited to perform the fourth movement of this concerto with the orchestra a few months later. It was the greatest musical experience of my life, and the first time that I gave a performance in front of a lot of people and felt truly proud of myself and all of the work I had put into it afterward.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose the flute because my cousin began playing it when she was in fourth grade, and every time I would go over to her house I would see it and ask if I could play it. Eventually she gave up on the flute, but I fell in love with it and knew that I had to play this instrument. When it came time for me to decide on an instrument during our fifth grade instrument fittings, I was told that I should play the french horn because I could make a good sound out of it and they needed more french horn players in the band. I refused incessantly because I knew that I was meant to play the flute and I loved it, and my cousin offered to give me her flute if I were to decide to play it. I entered every single band opportunity available to me in middle school and high school, and I could not imagine my life without the flute.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My private flute teacher in high school inspired me to go into music! She saw potential in me right away and asked me very early on if I had put any thought into pursuing music as a major in college. I was a sophomore in high school, and I told her that I really couldn't see myself being happy if I were to pursue any other career path. She helped me find various competitions that I could enter and summer programs to audition for, and she inspired me to realize that I really had what it takes to be a musician. Her faith in my ability gave me the confidence to give it my all and be accepted into 4 out of 5 of the music schools that I auditioned for during my senior year of high school.
