Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Music Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I was a music education major at Roosevelt Univ. and have personal experience teaching all ages from grammar school to entry level college students.I have taught in private studios and traveled to students' homes. I teach various instruments from beginners to various levels of accomplishment and when a student has that bright light moment when something clicks, it's truly a pleasure moment. I teach more than just an instrument,I teach music.This helps a student move forward and discover things on their own, such as how to play what they create in their head and how to get that to their instrument which is what communicates to an audience.

As a professional teacher, I love sharing the joy of music with the students. As part of my job, it is toeducate the students in order to give them enough knowledge to enjoy music on their own. Helping thechildren enjoy music requires making the lesson content in the way that is adaptive for the students.Finding things that the students can connect to, can have fun with, and can enjoy learning will be thestrategies that I would utilize to make the learning meaningful, relevant, and exciting for all learners.For example, I will incorporate learning rhythms to a beat or a song that the students will enjoy listeningto.

Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Clarinet
Young students love playing the pop tunes, so I whole-heartedly accept them finding a book of broadway or pop tunes and brining it to lessons. For the older students, I always go to the Rose 32 Etudes for Clarinet, focusing primarily on the slower etudes to continue developing tone. Scales are also a must for all ages - I stress the importance of tone with these exercises because it's not just about the fingers. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice makes permanent. Be realistic with yourself about your level and quality of practice - if you are only going to practice a little, learn to practice very efficiently. If you practice a lot, make sure you aren't over doing it. I used to practice excessively (5+ hours a day) and wasn't improving at all. I know practice no more than 2-3 very efficient 20-40 minute sessions a day and play better than ever without getting tired. 15 minutes of good focused warm-ups are better than 3 hours of sloppy spot-practicing.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Are they physically capable of playing the instrument? If so, then yes! Studies have shown that the earlier any kind of education enteres s child's life, the more effective and permanent their relationship with it will be. Exposing children to musical training early on gives them an exponentially higher chance of success later on.
When will I start to see results?
Everyone is different. Always be sure to check in with your lesson teacher - nobody can give you an answer ot this question without context.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I have an initial practice session of 15-30 minutes in which I only warm-up and focus on basics. LAter during the day I'll move from warm-ups into increasingly focused practice lasting about 15-20 minutes. I will repeat any focus practice I feel I need no more than 3 times during a day. I end my day with a 5-10 minute fun jam and warm-down exercise.
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, while focusing on performance, is actually in many aspects of music: I studied theory, musicology, composition, etc. from all over the world. Despite being a highly trained musician, I wanted to hone my ears and expand my musical perspective instead of just drilling music I was already familiar with. This has made me not only a more musical and informed player, but also a more enthusiastic musician - there's a mind-boggling diversity of amazing music out there!
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Not sure if I have a favorite, but I really enjoy the flexibility funk, soul, jazz and electronic music allows.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I have an uncle who plays 32 instruments without being abel to read music. Beisdes that, nope! I come from a totally unmusical family!
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I came to music early inn life, but only decide on the professional musician track in late high school. I saw some paths to make a really positive difference in people's lives with music and just knew I had to jump in!
