Being "classically trained" does not make you a more legit singer. Having taken both classical and contemporary studies, I've gained an awareness of how diverse of a singer I can be with both!
I attended the Boston Arts Academy High School and Berklee College of Music in Boston MA and in my short 15 years of singing, I've been able to able to navigate through many genres of music simply because of the technique acquired, not because of the style of music I chose to sing.

I've sang with/for artists such as; Toby Keith, Chaka Khan, Floetry and Ledisi and most recently the Boston POPs.

I'm a guitarist with four years' of college-level instruction. I have a deep understanding of music theory and songwriting, especially in the pop, rock, blues, and metal styles. I have formed and lead a rock band with two CD's under its belt, and I have written everything from hymns to 1980's power ballads to string quartets. I know how music works. I know how to dissect it, explain it, and construct it.

On the educational side, I have over three years' teaching experience. I have taught the SAT's and critical writing to high-schoolers, I currently teach English to middle and high school students in south Boston, I routinely substitute teach in K-6th grade classrooms, and I have passed every state exam to obtain official teacher licensure in Massachusetts. I enjoy teaching, especially to young children and beginners.

I know firsthand the daunting challenge of learning how to play guitar, and I know how hard it can be to find the discipline to keep at it and practice...

Greetings Student/Parent

I am a percussionist with 18 years of experience on drum set, mallet instruments (i.e. Xylophone, Marimba, Vibraphone), and Steel Drum. I’ve played in many different styles of music from classical and jazz to world and latin. I have a passion for teaching and make it my goal to guide my students to their fullest potential.

I hold a Bachelor of Music degree with a concentration in Percussion Studies and Music Education from the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth. After which, I obtained my certification to teach Kindergarten to 12th grade music and have done so in the towns of Randolph and Brookline.

As a performer, I have played with world renowned jazz artists such as bassist Santi Debriano and world music African drummer/jazz drum set player Royal Hartigan. On the weekends, you might find me jamming on drum set at a local jazz club or playing a shaker in one hand, bongos with another, and a woodblock with my foot in a college level...

I am one of those individuals for whom teaching is just something that I have to do. I started giving music lessons sometime in the 80’s and have loved working with all levels of skill and experience. My students say that I am patient, adaptive and encouraging, committed to making music fun.

I have a Masters of Music from New England Conservatory in Jazz Piano and am comfortable and fluent in a number of musical styles, including pop, rock, gospel, traditional hymnody, jazz, and R&B. Although I love and study classical music, it is not something I teach at this point.

I'm a very friendly and easygoing instructor. My philosophy in teaching music is to show the student musical elements that can be put into practice right away, which can be used in a context to have a solid reference of the progress made.

From Bowling Green, OH to Peru, South America to Boston, MA I have always found the joy and fun in making music. I'm a highly trained violinist who graduated from the Boston Conservatory in December, and since then I've been actively working as a gigging musician in Boston's live music scene.

Music is my way of sharing joy and fun with the people in my community, and I feel that it's the best lifestyle I could possibly have. My students help make that community even better and stronger. Music not only gives them a healthy group to belong to but a creative space to be themselves.

I've set up a student orchestra in Tacna, Peru, played in jazz bands and combos, made music for tango dancers, and performed in countless orchestras and small ensembles. I have taught to all age groups and, after graduating with my master's degree in music performance and education, I feel that I'm ready for any teaching situation!

When I was young I travelled around the world a lot! I had amazing opportunities to meet a wide array of very different people while gaining perspective on the world. Since friends were always changing I found a way to soothe myself by writing short songs about what I was going through, not only was it therapeutic - but at a certain point I started getting paid! I've studied Music Therapy now so I believe in taking an approach which is best suited to the students needs.
Currently I am a student at Berklee College of Music, I have one year left! I'm often producing music, cooking a big soup, working on a collaboration or working a gig.
