I love helping my students develop their music talents and skills! At each weekly lesson, students learn new concepts, materials, and songs. Goals are set with the student at these lessons. I make sure each student is excited about and engaged by finding songs that they want to learn. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
I always make sure my students and their parents have realistic expectations when they start taking music lessons. For instance, violin is a difficult instrument to play and it can take months of practice to play a simple tune. However, it can be fun and enjoyable as long as it is understood that these simple accomplishments in playing the violin are in fact rather big ones. I request the parents of young (5-7 years old) students to be present during the lesson as often as possible. Read More

I am a classical trained musician. I was brought up in Bloomington Indiana, the home of the no.1 rated music school in the States (by the teacher's association). Ever since I was 10, I was involved with the University music life. I had the fortune to study with Janos Starker - perhaps the greatest cello technician in the world! His playing style is comfortable, clean, natural, and free of tension problems. Read More
Instruments: Violin Viola Music
In addition to private studio teaching, both in-person and remote for 6 years, my teaching experience comes from being as an Adjunct Faculty in violin and viola for non-music majors at New York University, the orchestral viola coach at Mannes Prep Precollege Division, director of Chamber Music and violin/viola faculty at Thurnauer School of Music. My students at younger ages have passed auditions of prestigious music pre-college programs as well as school-region youth orchestra programs; college-age students have won scholarships at their colleges for music minors and double-majors.

I know everyone learns at different speeds so making sure they are comfortable yet challenging is important to me.Being able to know when the student is enjoying and not making it a chore is a key to helping and encouraging a student learn. Watching them progress in their insturment is rewarding in of itself and nothing is more satisfying. As the student starts to see him or herself accomplish each lesson I like to praise, push and encourage to keep on. Read More
Instruments: Violin
My early forays into education began during my undergraduate work at The Evergreen State College. I quickly learned how fulfilling the process was, and was routinely complimented on the patience I exhibited with my beginner students. After taking time off to work on my graduate degree and launch my freelance career, I resumed teaching again after graduation, volunteering as a faculty assistant with a music theory course at a local community college.

Instruments: Violin Viola
Creating a non-judgemental atmosphere, where students are free to experiment, make mistakes, and try again, is crucial for learning an instrument such as the violin. With this instrument, repeptition is key to learning. I also strive to set very clear, manageble goals, so students feel a sense of accomplishment at each stage. This sense of accomplishment is motivating to the student as well as the teacher! I often let students have a choice of which solo piece they get to play, as I have witnessed many past students rise to the ocassional to learn a piece they are passionate about! Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I advice all students to know practicing does not have to happen all at once. When you go home and you are trying to figure out how much time you truly have to practice - write out a realistic timeline of how your day looks. Once you have written out how your days look assign about 30 - 45 minutes a day to music. Think of it this way. Your average television show is usually 30 minutes. If you watch 2 episodes of your favorite show, you can practice for that same amount of time. Developing skills is practicing. If you struggled with a specific part of a song at your lesson. I would suggest listening to the song and focus on how to fix that particular section by using the tools taught to you at your lesson.
For piano, I notice that a lot of beginner students will not practice because they didn't know what a note was while reading the staff. Usually the book in which the student is reading has the answers. Make sure to look back at the information provided to find the answers. USE THE INTERNET. Formulate questions and research.
When will I start to see results?
Honestly, this depends on the student and the level of their vocal and piano skill.
Every student has different practice habits. I always tell students to give lessons about 3 months before noticing significant change for piano and voice. Now for vocal students, some changes will happen immediately and some changes will take time. For piano students, results vary because some students may pick up on theory quickly but not piano playing or vice versa. Some styles might be easier to play versus others. Give lessons a few weeks before getting nervous about results.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
You will know that your child is practicing when you ask them to stop practicing. LOL. Honestly, if you hear your child singing in the shower or playing piano in the middle of the night you will at some point ask yourself - does he or she really need to practice that much. The answer is yes. In order to improve as a musician the student has to practice and sometimes they may practice at odd times. Now you can tell your child to practice after 8am and before 10pm at night.
The other sign that your child is practicing is through their behavior. If they begin to dislike lessons it is usually due to the dislike of practicing. If your child does not have the same excitement for piano or voice lessons anymore, it's usually because the student has now realized they do not like music at the level that requires them to practice.
Lastly, I will comment on the students practice habits.
