Instruments: Voice
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 instructor to their wants and needs. Read More

The most important philosophical concept about private lessons is this: proceed in a way that will maximize your potential to achieve an excellent goal that you can call your own. Although I am not limited to one method book or another, I typically use Arban's for trumpet lessons - with other books and repertoire along with it. My background is Suzuki violin, followed by music literacy and transposition. So, whatever method book we select, we must consider basic furthering of direct musical perceptions, in addition to achievement of stated goals. Read More

Every person is different and I take that to heart constructing a lesson plan for each student that is suited for their personal tastes and speed. I have taught people of various ages starting at 5 years old all the way up to 60. It just goes to show you are never really done learning, especially when it comes to music. I have developed my ear to a point in which most any music you play me, especially if it's guitar based, I can learn to play in a matter of seconds or a few short minutes if it's something really tricky.

In 2010, I graduated from VanderCook College of Music with a Bachelor's in Music Education. I have played in a variety of instrumental ensembles on different instruments, from euphonium, trombone, marimba and drum-set to name a few. I am motivated to helping people accomplish their goal of learning their instrument. I teach music for Chicago Public Schools and have started a music program at my school teaching, marching band, guitar, choir, drum-line and orchestra. Read More

As a teacher,I teach based on a students needs. Teaching methods are developed according to the weak areas in where a student needs to improve. Once i observed the problem a method is then developed. I can used methods from teaching books or create my own method. All methods are not the same for individual students. Observation is the key to a successful method. Read More
Instruments: Voice
I emphasize with students that the goal is to find their own unique voice, and not an imitation of another singer or a more mature sound than their age healthily permits. Consistent practice goals and body awareness are key as students learn how to harness their voice! Read More

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A normal practice session for me can span from 20 minutes to 2 hours. I usually start by setting up the room in a way that allows for the most movement (I like to pace and wave my arms around like a crazy person sometimes). After maxxing out my movement space, I'll then sit/stand and start to warm up, which those exercises vary depending on what kind of repertoire I'm practicing that day. After getting warmed up, I'll start just running my pieces full-send, circling/noting places that I'm not as confident on and I can return to when I'm done. After that, the rest of the time is spent isolating sections and chunking them together to eventually attempt another (and more improved!) full-run.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Probably a professional dogwalker or cheerleader! It would be a dream to get paid for my two passions outside of music: pets and cheer.
When will I start to see results?
While you might not see results that say you're a professional, depending on the goals you'd like to achieve, you can start seeing results around the 2nd or 3rd lesson! Smaller goals allow for more achievements, and more achievements mean seeing larger and larger results the longer you work at it.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I think confidence and strength is the hardest thing to master on my instrument, voice. The voice is such a uniquely individual instrument, and there are endless ways to make a "beautiful" sound, yet there's always an element of competition and comparison. While trying to be unique comes with the territory of having an instrument no one can see, finding one's own HEALTHY & STRONG sound is the real challenge. Using common techniques and exercises is the first step to getting your own sound and finding YOUR voice, once you are confident in your skills, using that confidence is the most critical step in finding your strongest sound!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
This depends on what you'd like to use lessons for! If you want your child to simply learn basic musical knowledge, I think the time to start lessons is when they can soak in and repeat knowledge back to you.
If you'd like to start lessons to create a career path in music, I believe that any child that loves using their voice to discover the world around them (singing, speaking, yelling, echolalia, etc.) is ready to start lessons. Taking lessons doesn't inherently mean you want to become the next Broadway star (although we can definitely work with that!), it can also just mean you want to find the voice that can make the most difference in the world around you.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Chunk your time! The average focus time expires around 40 minutes, so practicing for 30 minutes and then having timed brain breaks before going back to practicing helps to maintain a healthy focus within your practice session! I personally like do something completely irrelevant from music in my brain breaks. Sometimes I'll go on a small walk, answer some texts/emails, or just stare at the wall-- just anything that isn't my repertoire!
