I began working for a music store in 2011 and became very familiar with a plethora of instruments and how to play, repair, and care for them. I began teaching my own students and going to their houses to teach piano, guitar, and voice. I began my study in music at a young age when I got inducted into Middle School of the Arts for Voice. Throughout my high school career, I toured and played with the Edison High School A Capella Choir and got into Regions II Women's Choir in 2010. When I graduated in 2011, I went straight into Music Education and completed an associates degree at Middlesex County College. I then transferred to Kean University in 2013 where I am in the process of completing a Bachelor's degree in Music Education. I am apart of the Concert Choir, Chorale, and Woman's Choir at Kean University and travel with them to perform around the country. After I graduate in 2017, I am planning to teach in a school and get my masters so that I can teach in a university. 

I begin teaching my beginner students to locate notes on the piano/guitar and have them practice basic exercises to establish muscle memory. If there are any songs in particular that my student wants to learn, then I find the sheet music and begin working on them. I use a separate homework notebook that can have assignments and practice strategies for my stuedents to study during the week. When I teach adults, I like to get to know what their style is and what they are mostly interested in learning. I teach them proper technique and focus on what they want to learn. I keep each lesson fun and interesting and offer stickers to my younger students.
