Personal Statement
As a music professional, I specialize in Voice (Contemporary Commercial Music) and in Piano (Classical). As a vocologist, I also work with students to correct vocal fold injuries. I am certified by the New York Singer Teachers Association and the Somatic Voicework/ The LoVetri Method. In addition, I am a City/State Teacher Certified in Music (K-12) and a member of NYSTA, NATS, and MEANYC.
I believe that progressive teaching must employ constructive pedagogical strategies to foster meaningful musical experiences for students to build and to exhibit competence. My pedagogical model is comprised of a student-centered approach to produce attainable challenges and to affect affirmative changes that will physically, technically, and emotionally enrich each students performance.
During instruction, I exercise scaffolding methods to facilitate the students zone of proximal development and innovative questioning to augment students cognitive thinking and critical thinking skills. The process of musical learning is purposeful when it is facilitated within a nurturing environment to motivate the students intrinsic interests and that is my goal!
