Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar French Horn
I find that it drives the student to learn the instrument for himself. And as the student wants, more and more, to prove that he can "beat the instrument," he begins to work at it in ways that I can't teach. Learning an instrument is more than showing up for one hour each week. Practice is everything. I feel that my methodology encourages students to take on the instrument head on and learn how to solve problems on their own so that they can practice and improve more quickly. Read More

Street Bombers where I performed all over New England playing trombone, piano, percussion and vocals from 1986 to 2005.

I have been playing music for over 30 years, starting with the drums at age 12, and then guitar at age 14. I attended Berklee College of Music and graduated cum laude with a B.A. in Professional Music in 1995. My main areas of focus while in college was jazz composition and performance. I have been teaching professionally since 1996, and have since picked up other instruments such as bass, piano, and alto sax. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I start teaching when I was in high school, I help my students to pass the piano proficiency test. When I go to my undergraduate, my teachers offer me a lot of teaching opportunities. I am really enjoying it, because the students come in with no experience, and they can perform a song, even they can have their own recital. But I want them play for fun, fun to play. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Music Keyboard Djembe
It really depends on needs and desires of student! I create custom lesson plans for each student depending on their current ability level, age, and future goals. For drums -topics include: various Snare books to teach students sight reading basics while focusing on technique, transcriptions of drum grooves and solos, learning and playing along to recordings, etc. For Piano, I combine a traditional note reading approach/music theory with the "by ear" Suzuki Method.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Viola Fiddle
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I think the hardest thing to master on my instrument is improvisation. Recently I have been practicing improvisation both in the Bluegrass and Jazz genres on the violin, and it takes a lot of practice and creativity to be able to think quickly and put your ideas into action.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
When I practice, I liked to begin by warming up. Whether it's practicing violin, guitar, piano, or voice, I like to do some body stretches because it's important to get your whole body aligned and ready to focus. Then, I do some scales or simple exercises. During the bulk of the session, I like to focus on parts of my pieces that are difficult. I break them down and play them more slowly, and often put the melodies to different rhythms to help get the songs in my fingers. Using a metronome to keep the time and slowly increase the speed can be very helpful as well. I like to really delve into my practice, giving myself at least an hour to focus.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
For beginners, I use the Essential Elements for Strings books. I choose this method because it gives a very logical and strong foundation on position techniques and note reading. Then, once the student has begun to explore this side of written music theory, I like to introduce ear training techniques. I was partially trained in Suzuki violin, a method where you largely learn by ear. As an instrumentalist who is very comfortable both reading music and learning by ear, I know how crucial it is to have both skills. This makes you a much more versatile musician in that you are both listening carefully to the music you play and playing it precisely.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
When I was 5, I knew that I wanted to play the violin. My father and older sister both played, and I was extremely inspired by that. I loved the sweet sound of the instrument, and the fact that you could play "fiddle" music on it too.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
In high school, after a rigorous series of auditions, I was extremely proud to be selected as a first violinist for the NAfME All Eastern Orchestra (an orchestra consisting of players all over the East Coast).
At age 20, I wrote, produced, and released my first recording project called Trust a Dream. The process of conducting a band and bringing my vision to life is the musical moment I am the most excited and proud of in my life thus far.
In 2018, I was also selected both in the Spring and the Fall as a Finalist in the International John Lennon Songwriting Competition. It was extremely fulfilling to be recognized internationally for my work as a songwriter.
