Instruments:
I have had many experiences in my pursuit of Music throughout the Eastern Seaboard. I have had professional singing experiences as well in a few varied genres, include Gospel, Spiritual and Classical musics. My professional training in Education has afforded me the luxury of teaching in a variety of educational settings ranging from Pre-School to Adult Continuing Education. To culminate my work experiences in Therapeutic Music as both a Recreation Specialist and Music Therapist, I completed one year of study at New York University and have plans to one day finish a program I started there. I have also maintained my skill at performance on Woodwinds and Classical guitar, which I enjoy especially having students to prepare for.
Instruments:
I have been teaching lessons for five years now and have had students from varying ages and levels of experience. My love for music began at early childhood when my parents had to hide the pots and pans so that I wouldn't make my own drumset out of them to play along to the music on the radio. That same love was strengthened even more when I began learning to play the bass clarinet (I started a little backwards than most clarinetists) at the age of 13. I will never forget my first day bringing it home and putting everything together to create my first sound - I'll admit, it was far from a great sound at that time, but the tone of the clarinet and all of the clarinet family really spoke to me. It is that same curiosity and interest for the clarinet that I hope to help develop in my students! There is nothing more incredible to me than watching a student create a love for their instrument and for music.
Instruments:
I have created my own method of teaching which I have perfected over the years. I create my own exercises and practice materials based on the level and interests of each individual student. I use the software program "Finale" in order to create the musical compositions that I prepare for my students. I always accompany my students on the piano. I am well versed in the various styles of music and am comfortable teaching students how to improvise also.
Instruments:
It is important that each child progresses at their own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for each one of my students
Instruments:
For novice students, I will most likely start with a method book such as one from the Essential Element's series. However, I will typically move students through the method book quickly and get right into performance repertoire that is appropriate for their age and level. Composing your own pieces and learning to improvise are extremely important in my method of teaching so I will also start teaching students how to write their own music as soon as possible. I will also write exercises and pieces for students frequently, as learning to work with a composer and convey music critiques properly is an important part of becoming a musician. All of my students will learn some classical pieces, some modern works and some jazz, but their individual focus will depend on what the student is most interested in.

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
