Instruments: Piano Voice
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. I like to go slow at first and see how things go lesson by lesson. I never like to challenge my students too much in the beginning because it can be rather frustrating to continue learning music. I also believe theory is very important and will ALWAYS include this in my teaching. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar
I am a lifelong student of music. I began playing the guitar at a very young age, 7 years old, and was playing in public by the time I was 12 years old. Around this time I took a correspondence course in Arranging from the then Berklee School of Music, which did eventually also become my alma mater and I even began teaching for my teacher. I have played and performed throughout the new England states as a solo performer and in bands/ensembles, and have had some of my orchestral works performed by the Prague Symphony Orchestra, truly an achievement for a kid who grew up as a rocker.

Instruments: Piano Trumpet
Each student is a different starting point depending on playing ability and age among a multitude of other factors. I am willing to negotiate to give any help the student needs at any level. However, for beginners we will always start learning by ear, as well as singing and clapping (sound before symbol). For more advanced students, we would include that in some way but I am more catering to each individual need. Read More
Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
I usually start out by doing the methods book but I also stress the importance of playing with others in a group or duet setting. I love getting to play the teacher part with my students so it's more of a collaboration than a solo job. My goal is to have my students play duets with each other if that can be accommodated. Keeping it fun really helps the learning process and motivation to keep going and taking private lessons. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I have been consistently teaching private music lessons for the past 18 years. I began my own music education with piano and was always very active with choral singing during my younger years. I began studying voice in college, and found the piano background was an invaluable asset! At the end of high school I had traveled internationally for choral competitions and throughout college, I continued with classical solo performances, while branching in to opera roles and musical theater productions.

Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
I am a singer/songwriter/keyboardist. I graduated in 2016 with a Bachelor of Arts in Music from Salem State University, where I studied voice piano. I have a background in musical theater and have been performing in shows for about ten years. I sing in the band and the choir weekly at Second Congregational Church in Peabody. I also volunteer monthly as a keyboard player in the band at Christ The King Church in Wakefield. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Ukulele Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I have been teaching lessons for 5 years now and got started teaching while studying at Berklee, since then I have grown a lot as a teacher. I have taught guitar and music production at Needham Public High School, where I taught students of all skill levels in classroom settings. I also currently teach at School of Rock Watertown where I teach private lessons as well as ensembles. In both of these jobs, I worked with students of varying age ranges from 7 to 70+ and learned techniques to make information stick. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
Defining moment when I switched from astronomy to Music was at age 14. It was hearing Arthur Grumiax play Paganini's 4th violin concerto. Fell in love!
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Currently the Prokofiev 2nd piano concerto 1st movement (the most inspired out of the 4 movements). For violin the Benjamin Britton concerto for violin and orchestra.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Aeronautics engineering and Astronomy! I have an engineering type mind which helps with teaching and zeroing on issues, and helping students solve their problems with the instrument.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes. My mother played piano and still does at 84. Dad played harmonica and loved Luis Armstrong and Harry Bela Fonte. Sister plays guitar and listened to rock, Christian gospel etc.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Classical. Tis the deepest most profound music ever created! Especially the best music of Bach, Mozart and Beethoven. 2nd tier would be Brahms, Schubert and Schumann, then Prokofieff, Rachmaninoff, Wagner etc. etc.
Having said that I have played electric violin in a rock band a few times and found it exhilarating! I play a lot of music from many genres, especially when accompanying singers on piano.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
Started piano at 3 and violin at 9. Viola in College. After advancing on violin, adding the viola was the next natural evolution as it allows one to have the widest access to great repertoire. Viola allows one to play even some of the great cello repertoire like the Bach sonatas and Elgar/Dvorak cello concertos.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
Performance. I chose it because of my love for music and the violin. Since finding good teachers was such a rare event, I had to learn to solve many problems myself (via books, asking other professionals etc.) which laid the foundation for how I teach today. Many of my teachers were big names who alas could not teach.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
After tuning (violin/viola), it is good to begin playing something for fun to get in the mood. After a few minutes of that, one must begin focused work. I use a set of criteria on what to observe while practicing so problems are overcome quickly.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
For piano I use Alfreds adult beginner book I. For very young students I start them on easier books. The Alfreds is easy enough for most kids above 7 and adults. With easier books students progress too slowly.
For violn/viola I use the Tune a day series. For more advanced students we go onto sevcik, Kreutzer etudes etc.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Discipline to practice regularly and practice with Awareness. Many times students practice without observing what they are doing. This habituates mistakes and bad habits. It is the teacher's responsibility to teach them how to listen with awareness.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Some have been accepted on scholarships to Regional state orchestral camps. Others have been accepted on scholarships to All State Orchestral festivals. They have gone on to excel in their professions.

Never learned to play the right way. Know nothing, but can play a small simple songs. By ear. Need to learn music theory and desperate for learning sight reading.

I'd love to learn piano well enough to play at home, maybe also for friends and family. I'm an older woman who fell in love with music in high school.
