I would love the ability to teach you and know we'd enjoy it! Most recently, I have 1 year of experience working as a Choir Teacher at the Aldines Young Womens Leadership Academy where I taught 6th and 7th grade choir classes during the day and Drama/Improv Club after school. It is required of me to make fun and educational lesson plans following the curriculum set by the school as well as keep up with any and all professional development provided including monthly faculty meetings.

I also do Suzuki books trainings and use other outside resources as well. These techniques will help them apply in the future when they want to work on other pieces. I will also be assigning scales of course to help improve their ear training, etudes, exercises to build up even more technicality and for musicality, I will be assigning fun classical music pieces but if student wants modern music, that’s also fine too.

I only want my students to have a positive experience when leaving our lesson. I am constantly letting them know what they've done well, along with what goals we need to work on. I focus on the sandwich method, which is one positive trait, something to work on, then another positive trait. Everyone is different, so their learning pace is different as well. I do expect them to put at least some effort in at home via practicing (although I know things come up sometimes), otherwise it would be hard to find progress when they haven't practiced what we were working on.

While I have taught violin lessons since 2010, my most recent passion for teaching occurred when I became an Adjunct Professor of Violin at New York University from 2016-2018. I held this position for two years while I was simultaneously completing my Masters degree, and maintained a studio of 10 students each semester. While at NYU, I taught a variety of students, from complete beginners to advanced violin players. Outside of NYU, I have also gained experience privately teaching younger students, and I am a Suzuki certified teacher. Read More

As a strong believer of the KIPP mission and vision, I work hard to instill the truths spoken to me behind the process of getting to and through college, constantly reminded by the words of Marianne Williamson that “our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond measure.” There are 2 things that I believe in regards to education: 1) All students can/will learn. 2) It is not whether or not you are smart, but rather HOW you are smart, citing Gardner's Theory of Intelligence.

Instruments: Voice Violin Viola Fiddle
I've performed in several orchestras at the college level and competed in a variety of fiddle contests throughout the state of Texas, most recently the Fiddler's Frolics in Hallettsville, Texas. I have been a volunteer after-school violin instructor in the Houston Independent School District (Roosevelt Elementary, Gallegos Elementary, and Martinez Elementary) and local Jewish community centers. I'm also very active in the Houston opera and theater communities and have performed in nearly a dozen productions in the area, often in small accompanying orchestras and as a soprano and/or actress.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Well, the ability to be a musician as a profession is even harder now than when I was a kid. I become a teaching assistant dealing with special education students. Through this, I have actually taught a child with autism to play the guitar. However, I play in historic homes during the holiday times. These tours have people guided through older homes and I accompany their visits with music. Our joys and goals change with age and maturity. However ,music and guitar will always be a part of life and I will never forget the dreams I had when I was young.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite style of music today would have to be blues slide. This style of guitar and music traces itself back to the early early roots of America. If you look closely on You Tube, you may be able to find performances of the blues greats. These men and women could feel the music and it came out through their instruments and voices. Also, at this point in my musical life, I write and play my own music as well.
Through this all of the different styles of music I have learned seem to come out in one way or another. I am proud when other musicians like my music enough to play it themselves..
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
Well, because of needs when being in a band, you learn to play what you do not have. Because of this fact, I have played drums and base occasionally as well as guitar. I cannot say that I am a drummer. I have never owned a drum set, but I have filled in many times. However, I started playing base because of the previous reason and became quite proficient. I found that I could improvise and really enjoy playing this instrument. I also found that it was a great deal easier to sing as the lead singer in a band while playing.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
My decision to become a professional musician was there right from the start. I listened and watched my favorite bands. What I wanted most in life was to be like them. However, air guitar was never enough for me and I am not someone who does not quit trying. So, after my first lessons, I made the decision that I was going to have a band and be a performer. This is not for everyone. Playing in front of people is vert difficult for some, but I am not shy and at the age of 15, I had formed my first band. We did not become huge rock stars, but I still love to play in front of people and it does not take much to get me out in front and do it.
