Instruments: Piano Organ Music
Besides, I placed a higher priority on solving my students difficulties. Students may sometimes feel frustrated when they could not overcome some technical problem in piano playing. Being their piano teacher, I will provide some exercises and solutions for them to help them overcome their difficulties. Also, students may encounter some difficulties outside the lesson like doing badly at school etc., and they might share them with their teacher during the lesson. Read More

Hello future students! I much enjoy sharing my experience as a creative musician to my students whether they are 5 or 55, beginner or advanced. I am a patient teacher and do my best to encourage each student to find themselves as unique learners (musicians) unto themselves. I graduated from Columbia College Chicago in 2002 with a BA focus on Music Composition. While recently living in NYC, I formed a 12-member saxophone orchestra, composed and recorded two symphonies, performed and recorded with the late Glenn Branca's 100 Guitar Ensemble, and provided live Sound Design for renowned poetess Anne Carson.

Instruments: Piano Oboe Bassoon
I have always had an eclectic love for all things music, and enthusiastically share it with anyone who will have me! There was a piano in my house growing up and I couldn't stay away. In school, I studied oboe and bassoon. Eventually I just explored any instrument that caught my interest- guitar, trumpet, ocarinas, panflutes, etc. I spent a lot of time doing musical theatre, and studied voice for a time as well.

I began teaching when I was 16 years old at a studio in Dearborn Heights. I have since worked at several studios around the metro-Detroit area and since 2012 have been teaching out of my home and online. Since the inception of my teaching career I have worked to enhance my techniques and conveyance of information through various collegiate and workshop experiences. One common thread holds true; I am aiming to instill in all my students, the same passion that I bring to every musical endeavor I embark on. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I use the Faber method for my beginner students. Sometimes with students who are 4 or 5 years I use the pre-beginners books from Alfred. Other times I use the Suzuki method, depending on the level of understanding. Alongside those books, I use technique books to build good, strong hand especially for young kids. As we move along I start giving solo repertoire from different eras of music to introduce the student to different kinds of music from different composers. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Viola Ukulele Electric Violin Fiddle
I teach beginning students both by rote and through reading. We use standard Suzuki books for repertoire and method books such as Wohlfahrt, Mazaz, and Sevcik. Very young students begin on Sassmanshaus since it is very engaging as well as well written. However if there is a specific book a student wants to learn from (such as a book from school or a specific style such as country or fiddle) then I am more than willing to teach from that. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet Music
My methods are adaptable based on the student's previous or current instruction with private teachers or their school teachers. For all students I love to play along and model concepts for them. I involve a lot of kinesthetic movement based lessons along with visual and aural aids. I get to know the type of learner my student is and then plan my instruction to fit their learning style. I am a fan of etudes and short technical exercises as well as long tones for intermediate to advanced students. Read More

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I play and so does my younger brother. I had to work at playing in order to develop my love for music.
I have played for over 45 years and still enjoy it every day.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
Since I was about 14 years old, I wanted to be a professional musician. At the time, my parents encouraged me to
pursue other fields due to their understanding of having a solid career with consistent earnings. When I was 28 years old,
I decided to listen to my life long calling to be a musician!
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I play guitar and piano. Early on I saw similarities to certain music. These similarities assisted my
musical education due to the fact I could see things from many different angles.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Something in the field of creative arts. I am most happy when I am working in an artistic field.
Have pursued a music career for over 30 years. My success is due to the fact that I love teaching
and have enjoyed music all of my life.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I enjoy rock, blues, jazz and country music. They all have elements of challenge and
I appreciate each of these styles. I am fluent in each style...I play what Im feeling for that day.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I like many songs. Most recently I have been playing ballads from Wes Montgomery and Eric Clapton.
It is fascinating to see how these songs were arranged.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I like Mel Bay, Hal Leonard and my own books from Conduire Music Publishing.
I have written 8 top selling. books during the last 12 years that sell to students, teachers, professional instructors, University professors
and professional musicians from around the world.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Playing and practicing includes four main categories:
Learning chords, playing scales, studying music theory and playing
your favorite songs. Challenge yourself to new levels in all of these categories.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My education and area of study are business and customer service excellence.
I learned valuable math and finance skills in college which were the platform to understanding
the sustainability of a successful business.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Timing that is related to both technique and feel. I believe feel always outweighs technique in musical expression.
Feel is something that can be demonstrated, yet this has to be developed by the students.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I have had several students that are university graduates with Music Degrees.
Some of these are professional touring and recording artists today. Others are
successful studio musicians.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I have had a life long interest in the principles of music theory.
Music theory provides formulas to understand what chords and scales
go together in musical composition.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My parents loved music. My teachers were all very accomplished musicians.
I learned correct information from each teacher and played musical styles I enjoyed.
Each of my teachers challenged me to pursue my desire to be a very good musician.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Guitar is the instrument that I felt most drawn to and comfortable with. I understood the
the shapes of chords and patterns of scales better on guitar than previous instruments.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Being consistent is the key to success. As you see your own progress, you will want to play more!
Playing the guitar is enjoyable, challenging and exciting.
When will I start to see results?
After the very first lesson. Progress is on-going. There are many types of success in playing music.
Playing songs, gaining self confidence, and also enjoying a positive activity.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Your child will continue to ask you about starting music lessons.
They will show you their desire to learn by following through with their
weekly assignments and learning songs.
