With two degrees in music, an MA (nearly complete) in British Literature, and fourteen years of experience working with children in summer camps or individually, I have an extensive educational background. Three years of study in England has added a unique perspective to my teaching palette. Since my music education took place at a university instead of a conservatory, I have a somewhat broader umbrella from which to teach music theory, history and aural training, as well as piano proficiency. My experience, however, is not only academic: a decade of performing as a union musician has given me practical knowledge that has proved invaluable in my teaching career. I believe that students learn when they have a genuine passion for the subject. As a teacher, I try to lead them to this passion before introducing anything technical or abstruse. My philosophy rests on the notion that stud

I have a very natural, relaxed teaching style. I nurture self-esteem and success. I believe that children are naturally creative, inquisitive, and avid learners. When they are nurtured, taught, and loving cared for and educated by adults in their lives, they soar to their greatest heights with enriched self esteem and excelling in knowledge of new tasks/skills based on their ability. I have always said that children are like sponges, they will absorb what they are able to comprehend at the time and a teacher must build on their successes. I always look for their “abilities” and then expand on them. Taught kindergarten-sixth grade . B.S. Psychology/Technology Management.

I am a person who is stimulated by learning new things. This carries over in my teaching and my constant demand to never give up on any student. I am always trying to think of new ways to explain complicated ideas to students while keeping them actively engaged and focused on the lesson.
