Attention all students!
I am not your typical piano teacher. I believe in having fun learning the piano or keyboard. I am classically trained by my professor, who had a doctorate from Northwestern Universtity/Evanston, IL. I studied classical piano for 10 years before going on the road as a keyboard player/vocalist. I believe in strong fundamentals learning your basic chords, theory, how to play, memorize songs, made simple. Games to learn quickly and listening to songs, then learning, and finding tools to make learning fun. Come on my journey with me, relax, have fun, and no stress. In fact, stress-free learning. Let's make your piano experience enjoyable and memorable. Take from the best and enjoy, as life is way too short to not learn from the best. I have toured all over the USA, performed in showrooms in Las Vegas, cruise ships, and top casino/clubs/private parties. I have also performed for Evil Knevil before his passing, ex-Lt. Gov. of Nevada, voted top female keyboardist...

I've been a professional musician and teacher for nearly 10 years, and I'm always discovering new tricks and techniques to show my students. Playing music is my biggest passion and I want others to experience the joy that I've felt.

Born and raised in Connecticut, I now reside in Central Florida. After receiving my initial
training as a young child and becoming serious as a teenager, he went on to study music at North Texas University School of Music. Shortly after, I went on to study orchestration and arranging under Don Sebesky and later studied voice with pop music icon Michael Bolton. My musical background and the importance I give to music education is easily discernable from the moment you meet me. If you want to sing, play, or perform above all the rest then you've reached the right instructor!

I started playing violin and guitar when i was 10 years old. I took private lessons in Guatemala, and played in the middle school orchestra. When I moved to the U.S. in 2005 I played in the Celebration High School orchestra and then moved to the Osceola School for the Arts orchestra. While at OCSA I was accepted into the All state Florida orchestra where we played the very difficult and complex piece: Planets by Gustav Holst. After high school i played in the Valencia College orchestra and took musicianship classes and then continued to play in Disney, in Latin jazz bands in the parks, hotels, private events, weddings and such. While at Valencia I participated in an all state string competition in which i was 3rd out 10. I've also played guitar in several soul/jazz bands. And also I've played flamenco Spanish guitar in several Spanish restaurants.

Music continues to be the focal point of my life! It makes my world go around. I have always been involved in playing for something: an organist at a church, a pianist for soloists, accompanying performing groups, pianist with orchestras, and many times, solo performances on the piano or organ.

Teaching is second nature to me, having taught music in public schools, plus classroom grades 3-6, for a total of 20 years. I have taught many piano and organ students privately over a 30 year span and enjoy teaching all ages. Quite of a number of my students are now teachers themselves.

I love introducing young children to music and delight in watching their newly acquired skill become something fun in their life. I also enjoy the challenge of teaching adults who've made the late-life decision to "finally learn to play the piano". Excitement for learning music and coming to lessons is the pay back for good teaching.

Music is a life time gift to yourself that just...

Bonnie grew up in a household that loved JAZZ! Her mom and dad took her to famous big band concerts such as, Stan Kenton, Woody Herman.....to name a few. This valuable experience left her with the conclusion that music is FUN!

She started piano at age 4, and oboe in the 8th grade. In High School, she played in the jazz band and won the best soloist award. She also performed in the local symphony orchestra, then on to college. Throughout college, she played in the Tampa Orchestra. After her masters, she played with Detroit Symphony Orchestra.

I teach Pop, rock, blues, and metal. I was taught for about 1 year on acoustic and have had 2 years doing private vocal lessons. After that I started teaching myself Guitar, Bass, and piano. I have been playing for about five years and have taught in churches and learning centers. I also have a band and play lead guitar at a venue every Saturday night. I benefit from teaching when I see the student gets it and the accomplishment is what makes me speechless to the impact I have made or whatever impact there is to come!

Studied at the New England Conservatory in Boston, I also studied in the Conservatory of San Juan, PR. I began playing the Bass and Acoustic Guitar over 25 years ago and I was also involved with many well known singers, bands, and orchestras within the Latin Music Industry and other diverse genres as well.

I began taking drum lessons at a very early age and continued on and off with various teachers for the better part of twenty years. I will always be grateful to them for the knowledge and wisdom they imparted on me and for the positive influence they have had on my life, especially the ones with whom I really bonded and who were essentially mentors to me while I studied with them.

As a teacher, there is no better feeling than seeing a student make progress and knowing that you helped him or her along the way, while at the same time not taking the credit, as it is always the student who has the harder job, who must do the real work. I always feel tremendous satisfaction when a student masters a difficult rudimentary exercise for the first time, or is able to execute a challenging rhythm pattern on the drum set. The expression on their faces often conveys pride over their achievement, and I can often sense a boost in their self-esteem. This is why I teach.
