Looking forward to seeing you “Take Your Stage!”

Working as a professional cellist for twelve years and soon to be cello performance graduate from University of Maryand Baltimore County, I am comfortable teaching all ages and experience levels. My teaching philosophy centers around developing a solid technical foundation as well as developing skills in ear training, sight reading and theory, but most importantly encouraging a creative and fun atmosphere and love for the cello.

I have been playing piano since the age of six. Originally classically trained, I made a change to learning Jazz after hearing it on the radio one night while still in high school.

I began my teaching career in 2007, providing private piano instruction to beginners at a small, privately owned music school in Laurel, Maryland.

After the school closed it's doors in the Fall of 2011, I continued working with many of the students privately. It is these efforts I continue to this day.

Having the opportunity to work 1 on 1 with students and see their progression and development on a week to week basis is a truly, rewarding experience that I feel fortunate to be a part of.

I am very passionate about student success. My students not only learn how to play piano, but also how to use practicing strategies they learn in piano lessons in other areas of their lives. My students leave lessons feeling accomplished and motivated to practice.

What makes my trumpet lessons unique is that I approach the instrument in a very pedagocial and simple approach. The basis of sound and ease of playing is always a top priority for myself and my students. I strive to make playing the trumpet fun and challenging and strive to make the best music I possibly can with my students as I know they are also striving to become a better musician and person.
