About Me

Since 2002, I have been teaching music privately and in group sessions for children to adults, from 5 years to 65+ for local non-profit organizations and as a city employee. I learned over the years that the creative arts and sciences are interwoven in a way that helps support each other. When I was growing up, people would always say that if you were good at music, you are good at math. I never really understood how that could be the case. But, over the years, I realized that there is an "art" to the sciences and a "science" to the arts. I realized that I could easily help the analytic left-brain child understand the technicality side of music while allowing the right-brain child "feel" and express emotion through song. As human beings, we need the creative arts in our everyday lives. For that reason, I have made the commitment to helping others achieve excellence in their education.

I wanted to take a moment to even mention my background in the volunteerism - just to help people to understand. Part of my educational background was working voluntarily at a local faith-based organization as an interim Education Department Manager where I assisted in structuring a tutorial program for children; coordinated and unified all educational activities; review, develop, order and implement curriculum for all age groups; planned and coordinated special educational events. I have also helped numerous children and teenagers as a tutor in teaching them to overcome their course studies in math and science. Call me a nerd if you must. I just love how far I have come and the journey it has taken me to this point in my life to help others.
