Instruments: Piano Trombone
I combine patience with an upbeat demeanor to provide entertaining and informative lessons for students. I want my students to improve and I understand that in order to improve I need to motivate my students. Kids see results working with me and that is why they enjoy the lessons. Soon they find themselves wanting to practice on their own time and really love the experience seeing themselves grow as a musician. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet
I am a driven teaching artist that enjoys teaching music as an art to students of all ages.

I graduated from Frostburg State University in 2002 with a Bachelor of Science in Music Business and Arts Management, along with studies in Music Education in order to receive my Teaching Certificate.

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I believe it is imperative to create a positive, musical learning environment for my students and cultivate their love for music. My lessons are individualized and tailored to meet the individual student's musical goals, level and learning style. I provide each student with a practice sheet to monitor their progress. Different students have different skill levels and different needs. Therefore, I assign each student a realistic, attainable goal for each lesson. Read More
Instruments: Piano
For children under the age of 6, I start with Music for Little Mozart, which is a fantastic introduction to music and piano playing. For children older than 6, I generally start with Bastion's Piano Basics because the music is very engaging and the music gradually increases in difficulty. I also add in music outside the method book in order to provide music that interest them and to focus on specific challenges. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
Currently, the methods I use is based on the students ability to comprehend. I have created a series of teaching from various sources such as Alfred, Bastien, etc. I use a particular method based on the need of the student. I will teach the foundation of music such as scales, chords, sight reading and classical pieces. As the student progress, the student will learn different style of music such as gospel, jazz and pop.

Instruments: Piano
Knowing that all students begin at different levels and progress at different paces, I cater lessons to each individual student's capabilities. So, although I have age specific methods, I realize there are exceptions that I need to identify. I also believe that piano should be rewarding and fun, so I make sure to highlight capabilities and give ability specific goals to improve. I want my students to learn to read and understand music, not just learn to play a couple of songs! Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Flute Recorder Piccolo Music Keyboard
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Tokyo Japan because that's where the international beatbox and loop station communities' Headquarters have recently relocated to!
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Teaching and therapist!
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Singing, rapping, and playing Drill and Riddim onto my loop station are my favorite.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
Traverse flute was always my first, because my childhood church teacher introduced the world flute aka "recorder" to us.
I started watching beatbox and tabletop live looping videos in 2018 and instantly told myself "I need to take all Vocals seriously".
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I chose a Bachelor of Arts in Music because I knew as far back as high school that I would be a Musician in some capacity.
I chose a Masters in Education and Leadership because I also knew in my high school time that I wanted to teach in all capacities.
Mix those 2 together and you get my dream career of Music and Education!
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I use Alfred, Hal Leonard, YouTube, Spotify, IMSLP, and other sheet music I find on the internet. I generally require a well-rounded approach of aural mastery besides relying on sheet music.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
In sequential order:
1) Introductory SEL / socio-emotional learning / check-in to see if everything is alright.
2) Any questions/comments/concerns since our prior lesson.
3) Demonstrate homework assignment from prior lesson and I clarify musical misunderstandings, reteach, praise the positive, etc.
4) I introduce new objective/skill(s) with ongoing checks for understanding / asking questions.
5) Assign new homework for next time.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I think the hardest thing to master on traverse flute is multitasking big breath support with finger / technique control. Also, it is more difficult to add expressive characteristics besides the technical aspects.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I was very lucky to have highly effective musical instructors from K-12. They demonstrated not only how to perform music, but how to effectively teach it to others.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of getting to network with influential musicians across the globe from over 20 different countries. This includes attending international, national, state, and regional music performance and education conventions.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
No, but eternal shoutout to my parents for (still) supporting me in my musical and educational endeavors!
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose the traverse flute because my incoming middle school band would not accept world flute / recorder, so the band director suggested I come into his office one day and try the flute. It was one of the best decisions of my life.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I firmly believe in Quality over quantity! Use a metronome and tuner app to be most effective, in my opinion. It’s never a race, begin slowly.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
1) Is your child a good listener?
2) Will your child complete their assigned homework?
3) Are your child’s needs outside of music being met, so they can fully focus during the lesson?
When will I start to see results?
Some learners demonstrate results by the end of the first lesson, some demonstrate results after a few lessons. It depends on the objective taught, such as how to place fingers versus performing a full scale up and down.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
High school immediately!
