Overview:
I am a musician and educator who is passionate about creating and playing music with others. In 2013 I graduated from New York University with a Bachelor of Music degree in Music Education. I have experience teaching in schools througough New York City, and have student taught in some of the best performing arts high schools. I am currently applying to full time instrumental teaching positions, but am also looking to expand my private studio. I have been the principal flutist with the NYU Community Orchestra since 2009, and have played with numerous orchestras and ensembles in places such as Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and SUNY Purchase.
EXPERIENCE
I began teaching when I was in high school, working with an organization in my local community that provided affordable lessons to those who can not afford the high prices of private music instruction. I continued teaching privately during college, and began working in classroom settings the past two years. My experience with directing ensembles, as well as teaching private lessons, has led me to develop a strong curriculum that provides students with meaningful and relevant experiences.
METHODS USED
For beginning students, I start with a method book that provides them with both aural, visual, and kinesthetic instruction, such as Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. In addition to work in the method book, I work with my students to develop a curriculum that is high individualized and caters to their needs and, more importantly, their interests. For intermediate and advanced students, I focus on repertoire, etudes, and studies, in order to build technique while learning the standard repertoire pieces. All of my lessons are student directed, and thus each lesson is unique. However, all lessons are engaging, interesting, and relevant.
LESSON STYLE
My philosophy of music education is to provide students with meaningful and relevant experiences. Every individual has a personal connection with music, and as an educator, I wish to further explore that connection. Music is a form of communication and expressions; it is an outlet for one to better understand themselves as well as the world around them. I look forward to making music with my students, and to work with them to find their own personal means of musical fulfillment.
