I am a passionate and caring instructor who loves working with students to build a long lasting love of music. I attended New York University for my Bachelor of Music and McGill University for my Master of Music. I am constantly continuing my education with private clarinet instruction in New York City. I frequently attends woodwind workshops and seminars by artists/ensembles such as Ricardo Morales, Anton Rist, the Imani Winds, and the Fifth House Ensemble. Sharing the joy of music has been one of the greatest experiences in my life and I take pride in my ability to show students how rewarding music can be!
I have been teaching private lessons for over five years. I specialize in beginner to advanced students of all ages. I am passionate about sharing the joy of music with others and enjoy tailoring lessons to each student's unique needs. I am experienced in helping students build fundamentals and can prepare your student for their next audition or concert. Over the past five years, I have helped students audition for and gain acceptance into youth orchestras, music festivals and arts magnet schools.
Although trained in standard teaching methods, I have developed my own method of teaching based off of my commitment to nurturing a love for music in each student. I aim to positively enhance the student's strength, dexterity, and techniques while building a lasting interest in music. My goal as a teacher is specifically designed to help you achieve your goals as an artist and a musician. In early lessons, I focus on developing an understanding of the student's goals and personal interests. Once the student and I have started this relationship, typical lessons involve scales, sight reading, and a piece that the student chooses. I work with all of my students to develop clear and sustainable practice routines that best allow them to progress quickly. I emphasize building a strong foundation early on so that future musical progress is always supported by a strong core of musical knowledge.
I am a compassionate and enthusiastic teacher dedicated to helping my students reach for the stars! One of my defining characteristics is my genuine interest in the long term happiness and progression of my students. I am committed to providing students with a safe and positive environment where they feel supported throughout their musical journeys. I absolutely love finding ways in which I can personalize my lessons to best fit each student. Music education is not one size fits all and I want to honor the different ways students learn. I gain so much happiness knowing that my lessons fit the needs of my students. I am dedicated to nurturing a love for music in each student.
