Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet Music
I have been teaching private lessons for five years now to students aged 8-18. I have also taught general music classes to 3 month-two year olds in an early childhood music class. My students have excelled through solos, ensembles, festivals, etc. I believe in consistency of instruction and positive reinforcement and criticism. I best serve my students by being adaptable to all of their needs. I am currently working with a student that has william's syndrome and we have a blast together. Read More
Instruments: Piano
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. By having these realistic goals, students will feel greater accomplishment at what they achieved as I do not want to overwhelm the student with too much material or information. Read More
Instruments: Piano
"To be inspired is great, TO INSPIRE is incredible." I love to inspire children and it gives me a great pleasure when they improve and do well. I started playing piano at a young age. My teacher was a very good pianist but a poor educator. Five years later I found a new, wonderful teacher who inspired me to learn. I am grateful for her and her passion and I hope to give that knowledge to my students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
My teaching style is very process oriented. Goals are set, but are the natural outgrowth of well developed plans and consistent effort. I strive to inspire my students with the passion for playing and the act of making music, rather than the goals of perfection or winning a competition. Personally, music has always been a way for me to understand and enrich my life in more meaningful ways than I ever could have imagined. Read More
Instruments: Piano Organ Music
I believe that every child is born with music talent. You can notice that a child can dance or response to the music you played naturally. Thats all because they are born to be a musician, therefore we should put the utmost effort into educating them. And I believe that the earlier they receive the music education, the better music foundation they will have. Therefore, I hope to create a great music learning experience and offer quality education for my young students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Euphonium French Horn Tuba Music
I tailor my teaching to the interest and styles of my students. I put emphasis on teaching all related facets of music as well as focusing on technique. Since moving to Ann Arbor 15 years ago, all of my students have reached the top band in their high schools and most were first chair/section leader by their senior year. Students will be proficient playing scales and arpeggios in all keys. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Drums Bass Guitar Recorder Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
My teaching style is laid back with the full intention of moving forward in both technique and enjoyment. Each Lesson is geared toward the Goals we agree on as Student and Teacher. Depending on age and experience, I set goals at 3 months or 6 months. It is crucial to allow the student to learn at his or her own rate. Again, I strive to find the Creativity in the Student and to see how that can be developed as quickly as possible, especially if they are interested in songwriting, singing, composition, or simply doing their "own thing".

Instruments: Violin
When will I start to see results?
There is no set answer of how long it takes to learn an instrument. This varies from student to student and really depends on the individual, how much practicing you do and your age. Playing is a physical skill so it does take repetition to improve. With regular practice a basic level of playing can be accomplished within a few months. Most of my students take lessons on a long term basis because they want to be constantly improving and they find the lessons enjoyable. Even if you don't have a musical background you can ask the me for advice on how to help your child practice. By simply monitoring that they are doing exercises a certain number of times per day the student will progress.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes, in fact I did have a wonderful teacher that inspired me to pursue music as a full time career. I was inspired to play the violin at a pretty young age when I would watch YouTube videos of my favorite songs being played. I remember one day when I was watching videos I saw a person playing the violin, and they were playing my favorite song. At that exact moment I knew I just had to learn to play the violin and make the magical sounds resonate from it like they were doing. Later after I picked up the violin my parents eventually got me a private violin teacher and she made learning the violin very fun for me although on some days they would be pretty serious when I didn't practice. They saw that I started to progress and accomplish many of my goals in school and in finding music jobs in the future and I know they couldn't be more proud of me. I learned a lot and have also passed on the method to my students with my own improvisation and skills of course. I have learned a lot on my music playing and learning journey and I will keep on going.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Something about the sound of the violin makes my heart soar. The violin generally carries the melody, so it is like another voice that is never marred by allergies or laryngitis. When well-played, the sound of the bow on the strings is a perfect medium for emotional expression. I love everything about how the violin makes me feel. I love the required upright posture whether one is sitting or standing- no hunching allowed! The feeling of the strings on my left hand fingers is almost like being in touch with the life pulse of the instrument. The movement of my right arm dragging and pushing the bow back and forth feels like the ebb and flow of life itself. Then there is the vibration that simultaneously travels through the instrument to both your chin and your fingers- seemingly through your very heart. As is the case with many instruments, the violin is capable of several kinds of voice depending on how it is manipulated by the musician. From the double-stops and shuffles of the fiddle, to the clean clear notes of most show tunes, to the airy, almost magical harmonics. And let us not forget the trills, the various styles of vibrato, and the glissando or staccato. Each technique creates its own unique voice within a musical piece.
