Instruments:
I have a BM in Music Ed. I would describe myself as outgoing. I’m a K-8 Music Teacher working for the NYC DOE, and privately tutor students. I have NYS certifications in Music B-12 and Students with Disabilities 1-6. Currently, I am working toward my MA at Hofstra finishing my last class and beginning my thesis.
Instruments:
Each student is unique and I cater my teaching style to the specific needs of the student. The key is teaching students how to identify problems for themselves and how to practice to fix them. In addition I believe that learning music should be fun! This is the reason that I got into music and continue it to this day.
Instruments:
My teaching is mainly focused on understanding the instrument and its physical abilities. Besides other aspects of learning, the student can earn "the 10 A's", which is: Ability to internalize basic rhythms and pulse; Ability to read-musical literacy; Ability to perform with physical ease and technical efficiency; Ability to hear the notes on the page; Ability to work creatively-improvise compose, harmonize and play by ear; Ability to understand basic elements of theory, form harmony, etc.; Ability to respond to the interpretive elements of the composition to express the emotional character of the music; Ability to conceptualize and transfer musical ideas; Ability to work independently and to problem-solve; and Ability to perform comfortably individually and with others in a variety of settings.
Instruments:
Music has been apart of my life since I was a baby, and I have always been drawn to its captivating allure. I started saxophone when I was eleven and began playing in jazz bands when I was thirteen. But it wasn't until my freshman year of college that my musical journey really started. While at the University of Wyoming, I was the lead alto in the top Jazz Ensemble for three years in a row, and I was in the top jazz combo both my junior and senior year. I was fortunate enough to share the stage with jazz legends such as Dave Douglas, Bob Mintzer and the Yellojackets, Eric Reed, and Dave Pietro. When I moved to New York, I was introduced to another world of music and jazz. Purchase College and the New York City jazz scene has introduced me to some of the greatest musicians in the world. I now perform in some of the Purchase College ensembles, and I lead my own Quintet made up of fellow Master's students that performs at Jazz Clubs in New York City.
Instruments:
I love to inspire my students and help bring more music into their lives. I achieve this by specifically tailoring my teaching to the needs and interests of each student. I strongly believe that students learn better when they are inspired rather than intimidated; that's why I regularly integrate positive reinforcement into each lesson, and then set realistic, fun goals that students can work towards with excitement. Music lessons should be fun, regardless of whether you're a elementary school beginner or a high school student auditioning for college.
