Instruments: Piano Guitar Synthesizer Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Djembe Acoustic Guitar
I have taught since I was in college. I regularly taught music theory and piano to non keyboardists at the special music school. In addition I have worked with students of all backgrounds. Some want to learn how to record a song, some want to play a song they love, some just want to make great music and I help students achieve all of these goals. I have performed at Carnegie Hall and at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington DC. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone
I have been teaching trumpet lessons for a decade, to students of all ages, and I also now teach beginning piano and trombone. I have also served as a Teaching Assistant in the Harvard Music Department. While I originally come from classical training and have the ability to deal with classical repertoire, I think there is much to be gained from trying to find and learn about the music that students love and connect to, be it Chopin, the Beatles, movie soundtracks, or Sara Bareilles.

Instruments: Piano Drums Bass Guitar Double Bass Oboe English Horn Music
My teaching style is aimed at helping my students express themselves through music, and enjoy playing their instruments. The starting point for this is learning the basics (scales, long tones, arpeggios, etc), but I also encourage my students to improvise and allow themselves to freely play their instrument in a joyful way. I also help them learn pieces and styles that they love. Through working on all of these aspects of being a musician, and encouraging them to take performance opportunities, I help my students to really find their own voice on their instrument. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Orchestral Percussion
I began my relationship with much when I starting playing drums at age 7. I played in percussion in school bands for a few years then I found the drum set. I found discipline and independence through the drum set, and soon started learning guitar and piano. I attended Berklee College of Music for Contemporary Writing & Production, with a focus in Drumset performance. While at Berklee, I played drumset/percussion in musical theater productions for other Boston colleges (Boston Conservatory, Emerson) and played with local bands in the Boston area. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Cello Viola
I'm a dedicated piano, violin, and viola teacher and I enjoy teaching students of all ages! I went to Mannes College of Music and then played viola at the Spoleto Festival in Italy. In addition to teaching, I also play piano at major charities and fundraisers, including the Democratic Party Convention. I can teach classical or popular music, and pride myself, and getting students to learn quickly and correctly. My motto is, fun and learning! Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
My teaching experience started in 2011 where I started working for a private lesson music studio. There I taught students ranging from the ages 5-60 and taught piano and guitar. I also worked part-time as a music theory and keyboard tutor at a Community College. I met weekly with students who were struggling with these subjects. It was a great a experience and I also got to work on brushing up my theory. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums Synthesizer Recorder Piccolo Oboe Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
I believe teaching is a privilege, and I strive to inspire each student and light the fire that is in all of us for expression. I am a master teacher, and will find specific motivational techniques to coarse greatness from each student. I will make sure each student is constantly moving forward and find a comfortable yet challenging pace for the student to ensure success. Any student who has done NYSSMA has done well, many of them with perfect scores at all levels. Read More

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I have used Hal Leonard, Alfred, and more. I see what I think the student needs and I will pull pieces out of a book or exercises too. I create my own lesson plans that are geared towards success in terms of the student's goal. I do have sight reading books that the student will utilize every page. I believe this is fundamental knowledge for the student to know. I also create my own sheet music with Sibelius or Musicfirst, notation software. I also have the student compose their own piece of music and improvise. These are all skills a well-rounded musician should know how to use.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
When I practice I play for about two to four hours. I start with scales using a metronome. I play my modes using one scale per session. I will play them in a swing style and as straight quarter notes utilizing techniques such as legato or staccato. I will sight read a few pieces without stopping, even if I make a mistake. i will sight read a technical piece a few times correcting my mistakes. I will play a jazz piece, melody first, bass line second, and solo last. I will improvise gloves with a metronome or drum machine. I will transcribe a piece of music by ear, then ear-train by singing bass lines or melodies using solfege.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have two music degrees. One is a performance degree and one is a music education degree. I have said this throughout my profile, I love music and I love education. I wanted to get a performance degree because I love playing music. I wanted to get a music education degree because I love teaching. To teach music means I get to play while I teach, and that is the best of both worlds. I am really passionate about teaching and education in general. I remember how excited I was to learn how to play and read music and I want to pass that feeling along.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I do not have a dream piece of music. As a bass player I had to learn how to play many styles of music in order to get gigs. I love playing any kind of music. I play anything from traditional celtic music, hip-hop, indie rock, jazz, and classical. For me it is all great to play. There is nothing better than picking up your instrument and know you will have fun, but also to get paid to do so. If I had to choose I love playing anything where i have freedom to create. Creating bass lines is a great thing.
