Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
Music is my life. I actually enjoy teaching music and being creative with all ages and all kinds of people. Ive had the opportunity to play all over the world with jazz bands, Afro Cuban ensembles, top 40 bands as well as my own band which is a mix of original music that is jazz, r and b, soul, hip hop, reggae, latin and funk. I also direct a singing group in Richmond called Voices of Reason. Read More
Instruments: Voice
I began teaching informally to other musicians as part of my music practice, and found that I had a love of passing on what I've learned. I began teaching voice and beginning piano in 2019, and have kept it up ever since. I have taught pre-K children through adult professionals, with every age and skill level in between. In voice lessons I allow students to pick repertoire - you should learn what inspires you! - and help them identify techniques that can be used to develop their unique voice. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I really like to accommodate student's strengths but also work on their weakness as well so that they become well-rounded musicians. I often try to put myself in the student's shoes and can understand really well how learning is from their point of view which often makes me a very in-tune and versatile teacher. I have been often told from many students that i am extremely patient, encouraging and passionate, which is what they appreciate the most. Read More
Instruments: Voice
As a vocal instructor, Im known for being patient, encouraging, and fun. My students feel supported every step of the way as we build confidence and technique together. I ensure every concept is clearly understood, so you're never left guessing. Drawing on my background as a classically trained vocalist and former professional dancer, I integrate movement and breath work into lessons, helping students develop vocal strength, expression, and control in a holistic, engaging, and joyful learning experience.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Organ
For beginner students who are pursing music on the tonal instruments, I typically start with learning the names of the notes on the instrument and the major scale in every key as it relates to the piano. For the bass guitar I start of with basic finger strength techniques and exercises while incorporating the major scale fingering form and Nashville numbering system for all tonal instruments. For voice, I start off by finding the range of the individual and then teaching warmup techniques while building the individuals technique through finding a song and learning how to sing along.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Bass Guitar Conga Latin Percussion
I like students to learn their favorite songs while learning technique, such as scales and chords, as well as music theory. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
Since my teaching philosophy is that every piano lesson should be fun, I tailor each lesson according to the student's age and interests. For young beginners, I choose method books that contain fun songs. I also teach music theory through story telling. For older students, I tailor each lesson according to their interests.However, I encourage them to learn Classical music, so that students develop good musicality. My goal is that all my students enjoy music for the rest of their lives. Read More
Instruments: Flute Piccolo Music
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I always just identified as a musician so there was question that I would go into this as a profession. The part that was confusing was choosing what my major would be and then realizing that my college degree doesn't necessarily define what I'd do in my musical career. I actually quit flute playing for about 2 years after I left grad school (although I was still teaching music classes and repair woodwinds), and had a random opportunity to get back into performing in 2017.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Nope! I have 4 siblings and just 2 of us happen to be professional musicians. No one in our extended family really plays instruments and our parents think sheet music is totally foreign. My sister who's a professional jazz musician teaches at a university, freelances, and writes music for her jazz combos. We are on opposite ends of the musical spectrum.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
All of my students have this basic practice setup:
o warm up on long tones
o fundamental exercises
o scales and arpeggios
o etude
o focus piece
I have detailed practice techniques to use with these basic practice elements depending on what needs to be improved for the week
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Quality over quantity. 30 minutes of focused, accurate practice with a metronome will always be more effective than 2 hours unorganized practice. Come up with a routine and you'll be surprised how quickly you're able to learn!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If your child shows an interest in their instrument without it feeling forced, they're able to focus on one task for 30 minutes, and begin to ask detailed questions about their instrument, they're ready to start lessons. I personally recommend that if your child is starting beginning band, allow them to get used to the musical setting before beginning intensive 1-on-1 studies.
When will I start to see results?
This part is up to you. I focus on immediate results by providing efficient and proved practice techniques. It takes some discipline to practice the way I teach you, but you will see better results if you trust the process.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
One of my first students I've ever taught has gone on to become a Haynes artist, win international awards, and now studies at Harvard University and a prominent conservatory. She continues flute studies while she also pursues a different profession, and this is what I love to see! Of course, this is a text book success story, but no matter if your flute playing leads you to an Ivy League school or to the living room performing for your loved ones, success is based on the student and what makes them fulfilled.
