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. Teaching materials are carefully considered by me according to the progress of the students. Piano examinations and competitions are essential to help fuel students desire to progress and make students eager to learn more. I would instruct students to be responsible for their own lessons with good preparations and good attitudes. Read More

I like to make sure the learning environment is stress free and nonthreatening. I believe the psychology of music is dynamic. My goal is to get teacher and student to always be sensitive to the affective attributes that music has on the listener and the performer. Music comes alive by the interpretation of the performer and the student has the power to transmit his or her passion on any particular piece of music. Read More

I first started teaching as a teenager, helping out in a religious classroom on the weekends during the year, and as a summer camp counselor in the summer. I have taught many creative subjects, including music, poetry, and song writing. I have always loved teaching, learning is one of the greatest ways two minds can connect - of any age! I really love music theory, and enjoy using whatever style of music my students are interested in as a pathway to gain more knowledge and understanding of the music my students play. Read More

My style is step by step. Where technique and repertoire mix. I try to pick pieces that are interesting for student. I also evaluate student abilities at the moment. I m trying to pick something that the student is ready for with something new to learn. And we progress further. I always show example from myself. So studemts sees it that its real and possible. And then i explain how i have done it. Read More

Hello! I have been professional musician and educator since 2015 in Central and Southeast Pennsylvania. In 2018, I graduated from Millersville University with a B.A. in Trombone performance. I then enlisted into the United States Marine Corps band as a trombone instrumentalist, where I served active duty for four years. Just recently I have enlisted into the Air Force as a trombonist with the Air National Guard Band of the Northeast. Read More

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
A little bit of both; in college, I knew I couldn't possibly study anything else. How could I possibly dedicate 4 years of my life to studying some academic major when there's a building of people doing music 24/7 just across campus? When I left college, I initially took a job where I played a lot of music, but was working almost entirely with non-musicians. It's not that I didn't like it, but once the opportunity arose to compose and music direct a play at my alma mater, I remembered how much I loved being in that environment. I moved out to the Philadelphia area and rededicated myself to making music full-time!
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My degree is in music composition; I had never composed before college, but it was such an amazing practical application of all the theoretical knowledge I had amassed. I also tend to have specific artistic visions for how music should be performed, so creating my own music from start to finish was incredibly gratifying. The more I composed, the better understanding I had for the music I was performing, which in turn made me a better composer again. I love the way composition betters my performance and vice versa!
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love musical theater! It almost feels absurd to call it its own genre, because really, theater is just a venue through which all sorts of different genres can be played. Are we really supposed to call "Hamilton," "Les Miserables," "Rent," and "Pirates of Penzance" all the same genre? There's such incredible diversity, not only in style, but in emotion too. Every time I think I've found my favorite musical, I find another that I love even more, and the best part is that unlike many musical genres, I think the best musical theater composers of all time are alive and writing today.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My dad sang in an a cappella group in college and also arranged music for them; I definitely get my musicality from him. So do both of my brothers! We all sing, we all play piano, and sometimes both my dad's dad and my mom's dad join us; the six of us have a fully functional sextet that we often perform with in church. Some of the most fun I've had has been improvising harmonies to songs we love (or barely know) with my two brothers and my dad around the piano. My dad and I have sang together more than almost anyone else, and every time someone tells me I sound like him, it's one of the best compliments I could get!
