Instruments: Voice Acoustic Guitar

My teaching style is unique.....I evaluate the students and try to learn from their likes and dislikes and teach accordingly.....the Last thing a teacher wants to do is Discourage a young stundent ,inundating then with boring songs......a teacher that makes an impact will carefully listen to the students finding out what style of music they gravitate too...helping them in the best way achieve their musical goals...as a parent I try different ‘approaches’ in teaching my child different things ...I do the same with musical students Read More

I began teaching private lessons five years ago during my first year in college. I consistently taught privately, as well as in classroom settings in youth music programs in Boston. I also developed and taught courses in songwriting and music theory for teenagers. I encourage students to develop their age-appropriate practice routines, and support them in sticking with them. Sticking to a schedule helps the young musician build a relationship to their instrument. Read More

For beginner students, I love the Faber primer or Alfred Beginner. Once the students have learned the basics, I play for them several pieces they would want to play for the next recital coming up so they can have an idea of what they like. For Intermediate players, I love the Dozen a Day collection, Hanon, and Alfred books. For teenagers and adults I really want to know specifically the type of music they love and want to play whether it be classical, jazz, pop, RB, etc. Read More

My teaching philosophy is that students blossom at their own pace. Some concepts might be more difficult for some to grasp than others. Students may excel in some areas and struggle in others. I teach sustainable and kind methods of practice and learning. I believe that a teachers true job is to teach a student how to practice. I encourage short and long term goal-setting. I believe that what keeps any musician coming back to the woodshed is enthusiasm. Read More

The more they love it - the more they want to practice. I truly believe practice is key to any success. The more a student masters their craft, the more they find deeper passion for it. I love watching a student practice something and then finally master it and have that "Aha!" moment! It brings so much joy to me as an instructor to help a student achieve the goals they want to reach. Read More

My love of teaching stems from my joy of performing! Because I am passionate about performing, I love to share that passion with eager students who benefit from this joy. It has been a gift and a privilege to work with students of varying ages who have excelled at singing and in the performing arts. Many of my students are active performers who have gained leading singing roles in community theatres, in school and university theatres and in regional theatres. Read More
