Working on filming a couple clarinet lessons and accidentally started without my cat producer… she really let me know what a mistake that was 😅😅😅😅

Help!! I don’t know what to practice!!
It’s so challenging to stay motivated to practice without a big goal or assignment coming up… What does everyone do in these situations?!

Had the best time performing with @protestra_ this past weekend! It’s always special when you get to play a favorite piece - Egmont Overture is a bit nostalgic for me as it was the first piece I played in my undergraduate orchestra!

Very excited to be offering a summer lesson package for students who can’t commit to weekly lessons through the summer holidays!
You’ve worked so hard through the school year - don’t let yourself get rusty when ensembles aren’t in session!

Every disappointing result is an opportunity for growth.
Does rejection suck? YES. Does it also teach you a lot about yourself and where you need to improve? YES. Allow yourself to feel disappointed, but then use this opportunity to help steer your practicing and work.

Excited to perform with @protestra_ this Saturday, May 10, at 2pm at St. Paul and St. Andrew United Methodist Church. Tickets at the link in bio.
“The concert will protest the outsized influence that corporations and the billionaire class hold over the U.S. government and call on elected officials to work for the American people.”
#tbt to this hilarious graphic from one of my students 😂😂😂
Feeling lucky to be a teacher today ❤️

What my students see… vs the reality 😸
Glad to always have my assistant to help me in my lessons!

BIG BIG congratulations to my student, Kristianna, for her phenomenal performance of Rabaud’s Solo de Concours at Carnegie Hall this past Sunday!
Kristianna has worked so hard this year and her musical growth has been enormous. I’m so proud and so happy that I was there to see her perform!
Bravo on your Carnegie Hall debut, Kristianna!

Shout out to my student, Josh, who joined the Kings County Concert Band this year. I had the privilege of attending their concert yesterday at Columbia University’s Festival of Winds.
It’s inspiring to see my adult students join ensembles and experience the absolute joy of making music with others.

Don’t underestimate the power of sight! Watching yourself can illuminate little tendencies you have (especially in your fingers).

Fail safe warm up routine right here!! Always gets me perfectly warmed up before a rehearsal 🤓

The first tip that I give students who are preparing to sight read in an audition is to make sure they are taking time to read the music before playing.
It sounds like simple advice, but auditions are stressful and it’s easy to allow the stress and adrenaline to push you directly into sight reading before taking time to read through the piece.
Judges appreciate when students show maturity and take time to read the music, even when it isn’t explicitly stated that you can take time.
Count to three, slow your heart rate down, and look for the tricky bits in the sight reading. You can cut down on so many common mistakes just by spending an extra 30 seconds reading through the excerpt.

For real though… let’s stop using broken reeds!
(No reeds were harmed in the making of this video…)

No more endless repetitions!
Start adding more intention to your practicing and identify exactly what you are fixing (and how) for each repetition that you play.
You’ll improve quickly and streamline your practicing 🤓

Little excerpt from mvt 2 of the Afro-Cuban Concerto. So thrilled to be joining @indigowindquintet. Join us for our debut concert on 03/21 at Trinity Lower East Side. Link in bio!!

Sight reading can seem scary at first, but it is so crucial to developing the skills to become an excellent and well-rounded musician.
If I could recommend one thing to students struggling with sight reading it would be… DO. IT. EVERY. DAY! I can not emphasize this enough (plus the tips listed in the video as a cherry on top) 🤓
