Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Trumpet Saxophone Flute Clarinet Bass Guitar Keyboard Electric Guitar
Currently, I teach at at an elementary school in Palm Beach County. (Florida Public Schools) I am teaching ages k-5 general music, chorus, and band. The instruments I teach weekly include trumpets, violins, flutes, keyboards, piano, guitar, and bass. When I student taught high school teachers at the Boston Latin School, (Boston Public Schools) I taught chorus, string ensembles, AP music theory and all ensemble instruments in every family. Before formally teaching, I was a private composition and music theory tutor for college peers. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Djembe
My teaching experience dates back to the beginning of high school. Though it wasn't music education, I am very much use to private teaching. I started my education career at "Kumon of Bowie Math and Reading Center," a tutoring center created to emphasis one-on-one assistance for students in need. After working there for five years, I pursued my undergraduate education until Spring 2017. During college, I also worked as an ear training mentor. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
The student and I focus on classical fingerstyle techniques as well as all aspects of each piece of classical guitar sheet music. This includes adhering to the pieces' given key and time signatures, dynamics, accents and ultimately executing the given piece of music with precision and distinct feeling. Notable compositions studied include those of Bach, Sor, Tarrega, Carcassi, Guliaini, Carulli as well as pieces composed and arranged for other instruments from Mozart, Pachabel, Tchaicovsky, and more "Some people think music education is a privilege, but I think it is essential to being human."-- Jewel "I think music in itself is healing.

Instruments: Piano Voice
For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. I not only use books, but videos, lots of exercises to use when at home and formal presentations. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I have been teaching piano for 7 years, going on 8 years now. I work with all ages and all skill levels as well. Everyone I teach gets unique style of teaching that best suits them because not everyone learns the same way. I use a variety of lesson books depending on how far advanced they are. Having fun while learning is always my goal, especially when it comes to small children. Read More
Instruments: Piano
Seeing student success is a very rewarding experience. The process is the best part. Showing students how to advance their skills is something I have always enjoyed since I began teaching. I inform students about the historical elements of piano, how to compose, how to listen to music and how to perform. It is more than just performing simple pieces, it's an understanding of what the composer did to create such music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I am passionate about helping others find their passion especially in music. I love teaching people how to make cool sounds with their voices. What I run into a lot is that a long time ago someone told My student that they could not sing and it's funny how people carry that with them throughout their lives so my job is to change that perception. It's not always easy. I tried to give my students clear expectations of what I want and try to make them feel comfortable by using humor and getting them to relax and not be afraid to make an ugly sound 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.
