Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Drums Bass Guitar Organ Euphonium Tuba
I feel that it is best not to use the cookie cutter approach to teaching music. Each student is unique in their own way and is able to learn and apply musical concepts differently; therefore I take a careful and studious approach to make sure that my students have the best advantage by creating a custom lesson plan specific to their learning pace. I do my best to make it fun and engaging while increasing their ability and knowledge of music as it applies to their instrument. Read More

My experience in the music therapy field as well as my personal experience being homeschooled when I was young has led me to hold the philosophy that every student succeeds most in an individualized environment. For that reason, I first learn about the student: their interests, their strengths, their struggles, and the way that they see the world. From there, I design goals that are personal to them, and design a curriculum that works for their learning style. Read More
Instruments: Piano
For many years, twenty-five to be exact, I have been teaching and motivating children and adults. My goal is to expose them to all types of music. As a member of the New England Piano Teachers's Association, I have the good fortune of being able to enter my students in recitals and competitions. Adults can participate as well. Students with learning disabilities are always challenging, but I have had much success with them. Read More

I believe everyone, even teachers are students forever and we are all equal in this journey. I learn just as much, if not more from my students. I find the most progress in students are when they speak out and meet me halfway in the lesson. I am more than happy to adjust my methods as a teacher because no student is the same. I currently work with people with disabilities in music around the greater Boston area, but want to expand all around in the beautiful state of Rhode Island! Read More

Hi, I am a graduate of the Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA, and have been teaching drums, piano, and percussion for over 12 years. I focus on the fundamentals of teaching students how to read music and the rudiments, but try to balance this with just playing and having fun. I want all of my students to have fun, and stay interested in playing and growing as a musician. Read More

I now have 3+ years of teaching experience privatlely as well have taught in some of the local schoool system's music programs as a substitute teacher. The people I have met along the way of always added something to my life as I have hoped to have added something to theirs as well. Music is a journey in more ways than one. Read More

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with the music theory basics which will always serve as a strong background to their music knowledge and overall muscle memory. 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. Read More

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
That depends on what the student is looking for. If they're a beginner and already have a book we'll typically work out of any material they already have. I will likely supplement that with other books and hand made materials when the time comes for that. While many times the content of a book may not be exactly what I want, I can utilize exercises or songs to introduce new concepts for the student to work on. Likewise, I may decide to edit the content of a book to suit the needs of a student. Many times the content may jump over some crucial technical element that needs to be addressed for the student.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I almost always start off with tuning my instrument. If the tuning is good I will take a little time to sit down and clean my fingernails up. I mostly play classical guitar so getting the shape of the nail suitable and clean will help me produce the tone I want. From there I focus on each hand individually. For both hands I keep it simple and focused so that I can focus on good tone production and technique. From there I will work on scales, arpeggios, repertoire, and performing. This way I'm sure to continue working on improving my technical abilities and the music that I wish to perform.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have two degrees in Music. I bachelor degree is in recording technology. I wanted to pursue that as a degree because I had played in bands and did recording of our own. I wanted to get to know the industry and better understand the technology, science, and art of recording. My master degree is in classical guitar performance. While pursuing my bachelor degree i was required to study classical guitar. As my studies progressed I developed a strong appreciation for the style. By the time I graduated I wanted to study more and perform more than be a recording technician.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I would love to play bass in a band a play Rubberband Man by Detroit Spinners. I love how groovy that song is!. The song isn't too complicated but it's just really well put together. Whenever that song comes on I can't stop my body from moving the until it stops. So I think it was just be fantastic to groove so hard and never stop moving while jamming on the bass. This is going to sound goofy, but I would also want everyone in the band to have synchronized movements too. That way everyone is having a blast!
