Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I am a goal setter and overachiever so I like to work with the student to set goals that will not be discouraging. I believe that learning how to play an instrument/sing with others in an ensemble setting helps reinforce what we work on in the lesson. As a multi-instrumentalist, I enjoy finding songs we can eventually play together while implementing technique and structure. I’ve done everything from covers, to song writing, to singing operatic repertoire in 5 different languages. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
As a teacher, my experience started mainly during my college days. I taught a wide variety of ages starting at 6 years old all the way to 17 year olds. I really started teaching in earnest during the summer of 2012 where I took a job in Michigan as a Piano Teacher Camp Counselor. I taught over 50 kids of all different ages and skill levels improving vastly on the teaching methods I'd already developed. Read More

To help students become familiar with rhythms, I occasionally use clapping exercises and even collaborate with them to create a song together. When I teach music, I make sure to emphasize sustainability. It's important to me that my students understand how to take care of their instruments, use resources efficiently, and appreciate the natural world that inspires music. By teaching sustainability along with music, I hope to help my students become responsible and caring individuals who can make a positive impact on the world Read More

I am a life-long musician [age 5 - present] from a family of musicians who have played with everyone from Fanny Brice (my grandfather) to Benny Goodman (my mother) to Steve Miller (myself). I attended Berklee College of Music in Boston , MA from 1975-1979 and left (5 weeks short of my degree) to perform in a rock band who toured for 5 years in the US and Canada. Having played everywhere from Red Rocks Ampitheatre in Colorado to Elkhorn Resort in Sun Valley, Idaho to Valdez, Alaska to Cobo Hall in Detroit,Michigan, I have lengthy performance credentials and even more varied experience in the styles and situations that I have performed in that include: rock band, orchestra, concert band, jazz combo, folk duo, Big Band, marching band, drum corps, celtic rock band, traditonal gaelic ceili, flute choir, pit band, church choir, chorus, show choir, vocal solo, commercial voice-overs, vocal duet, musical theatre, etc. Read More

My educational includes twentieth century composition, 12 tone theory, traditional harmony, ear training, basic piano, composition and music production. As a vocal instructor, I enjoy sharing my knowledge and experience with students who are truly interest in art of music and performance. I can teach you about breath support, intonation, vocal projection, pitch, range and more. I have worked with beginners and professionals. Thru proven vocal techniques I can quickly get to the source of many developing vocal problems. Read More

I will start my beginner piano lessons with "Teaching Little Fingers to Play" "John Thompson's Easiest Piano Course Part I." Basic music theory such as determining lines spaces (Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge F.A.C.E) and basic 1-5 fingering patterns. Depending on the level of the beginner, we could practice "Hot Cross Buns," "Mary Had a Little Lamb" "Happy Birthday" or "Ode to Joy." I will assess students based on knowledge of music theory and muscle memory/ability to play. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
I usually try to set small goals for my students each week especially for kids as a new instrument can seem like a daunting task. Something I like to do is encouraging a students own creativity and get them to try writing their own pieces or songs. Something I find helps a lot especially with kids is acknowledging their accomplishments because it will encourage them to progress in learning. Another thing that works a lot with kids is making a game out of practicing, these kinds of things will really access their creativity. Read More
Instruments: Voice Saxophone Flute Clarinet Recorder
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The sax and clarinet use a single reed mouth piece and when you are learning or haven't played for a while, your jaw can become very sore from gripping the mouthpiece. As for the flute, you need to learn how to blow air across the mouthpiece, not in it. This uses a lot of air and can make you light headed. It all takes time for your body to adjust.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I've been singing since I could talk, maybe before :) I knew that I wanted to play the flute in either the 2nd or 3rd grade when the high school band came to the elementary school and did a demonstration. I don't really know why, it just beckoned to me. I played recorder, fell in love, and jumped at the flute first chance I got in 5th grade.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
If you are a beginner, I suggest setting up 15-30 minute Daily practicing blocks. If you are a
N intermediate to advanced performer, then use time management skills to work out longer daily blocks, or multiple short daily blocks. Find a comfortable and secluded place to practice so to not be distracted and /or not bother others.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Children may express a desire to make music at a young age. You may be able to determine your child's commitment to their request by observing their desire to sing or tap along with music, if they pick up a toy instrument and actually get decent sound out of it. Young children can begin to be interested in more than Old Mac Donald's Farm, and want to sing or play an instrument. Be aware of their fine motor skill developlet, and not strains third voice when they singing.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I wasn't allowed to play the flute in jazz band (ya, I know- just silly) so the only available free instrument to pick up was an old tenor sax used in marching band that everyone called "The Swingy-Neck" because the screw to hold the neck was rusted, so the neck could go in, but not tighten into place. Half the time it swung away when you went to put the mouth piece in your mouth. So, I learned to play tenor and how to let go of being stuck to the notes on the page and improvise. Now I really know what it means to "play it by ear". I picked up the clarinet in order to broaden my music lessons. It's a lot easier to teach clarinet with a clarinet than transposing to flute. That is a nightmare!!!
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My father plays the accordion and can sing. My mother was a good singer. Most of my love of music comes from them. I am blessed to have had parents who liked such a wide range of music.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I've always loved to perform and have had some interesting experiences along the way. I have a friend and former neighbor who would hire me to play the flute at her art gallery openings back when I was in high school. I also performed on stage at gala events along side famous actors and musicians back in the early 90's as a teen. Since then I've played a variety of gigs from playing classical flute music, singing in choirs, playing in concert bands, and accompanying and singing in church, Christian and rock n' roll gigs. The journey is hardly done.
