Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Recorder Euphonium
I began teaching trumpet privately 44 years ago. Over the years I have added voice, beginning piano, trombone, euphonium,and recorder to my studio. I encourage each student to practice several times a week for as long as they can. I find that some students like to practice in one sitting, whereas others prefer to practice for 10-15 minutes before taking a break and then returning. I convey to each student that working at your craft for 10,000 hours will make you an expert. Read More
Instruments: Voice
Each student is different. My teaching style depends on the need of the student. However, generally, I will start with technical exercises to help the student work on a particular skill that can be used in a variety of songs (ex. tone production, vowels, diction). Then the next part of the lesson would be focused on a particular song. I also am happy to work on music theory and music literacy skills with students. Read More
Instruments: Voice Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Euphonium Piccolo Mallet Percussion
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More
Instruments: Voice
I am a firm believer that anyone who wants to improve their singing, to go forward from whatever level they are currently at, can do so if they take the first step to start studying with a voice teacher. It can seem daunting at first, but through the use of a variety of vocal exercises and the use of songs in whatever style of music you are interested in singing, you can start the process of gaining new tools and habits to increase your singing skills.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Ukulele Music Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
My teaching style is natural, relaxed and yet, very enthusiastic, all at the same time. I have patience in abundance and my continual student affirmation is well received. I give most attention to personalizing instruction for each of my students. My passion for musical expression is contagious and readily shared. It is a joy to teach music, to contribute to the growth and delight that I witness through a student's progress. Read More
Instruments: Voice
I strive to provide effective tools for children and adults of all ages that reinforce vocal training, confidence, precision, and vocal hygiene. The last decade of experience gives me a solid foundation to ascertain the temperament and learning style of students and create a specialized and integrative lesson plan for them to utilize in order to enhance their gifts. My personal style is an authoritative one, not authoritarian or passive, wherein I connect with my students with positive reinforcement. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
A rigid daily practice schedule is imperative to a student's success. Practice on selected pieces and etudes is mandatory, but the student must work with exercises that improve agility, poise, position and accurate fingering. Before taking lessons each student should study their everyday schedule and determine the time of day (including Saturdays and Sundays)that is the most consistently uninterrupted time for one hour of practicing. Without practice, progress is slow and could lead to frustration and a discouraged spirit which is a deterrant to a proficient musician.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Interest and/or the desire to learn music could be detectable as early as age 4. Exposure is key. If a piano is in the home and played often, a child will naturally be curious and will want to be able to make the beautiful sounds they hear. If a piano is not in the home, the child may develop an interest through exposure during school hours or during after school care. Parents should be sure to keep an open ear for indicators of interest. If it is consistent, by all means start their lessons as soon as possible.
When will I start to see results?
Results could be visible as early as 3 months provided the student consistently practices each and every day for at least one hour. Missed or inconsistent practices results in a re-learning mode which slows progress. Parents are encouraged to guard weekly practices and lessons against interruptions which cause the student to be distracted. If distracted they have to start over, which wastes time. I spend a good deal of time during the first three months with basic music theory. This insures the grasping of music concepts and practical application.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
There are many. I am, however, most proud of my opportunities to work with several renowned musicians, choral and instrumental. It has indeed been a blessing to be trained by well-known pianists and choral directors in an education setting or through my music ministry with the Church. One very memorable highlight, if I had to choose one, would be my opportunity to perform with a choral group at Carnegie Hall in New York. This is good to share with my students as it instills in them the need for consistent practice, practice, practice. Carnegie Hall is conceivable!
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Keeping your eyes solely on the score was a challenge. Mastery of this skill is imperative if a student wants to play really well. It does, however, takes time, practice and patience to reach this level, but it is a skill that must be learned early. Thus, I teach this to my adult students but also include this practice with my younger students. The earlier the skill is mastered the better the student's progress. It gives me such joy when a student is excited that they mastered even a couple of measures of a song without looking at the score.
