Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Cello Drums Banjo Mandolin Fiddle Orchestral Percussion Music Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
My teaching style involves tailoring my lessons to each student's specific needs with an emphasis on ear-training and proper instrument technique. I like to get going on music that moves the student as quickly as possible, so we will use music that is of high interest to the student to develop the ear, learn a bit of theory, and put in the work that will allow the student to really unlock their instrument.

Instruments: Piano Violin Cello Viola Double Bass Keyboard
Children who study with me don't just learn how to 'play' the music, they learn how to really 'PERFORM' it--wide range of volume, lots of expression, and true musicality! Teens (13-18) typically prefer to choose their own curriculum. They are mature enough to appreciate a classical background, and we study the great composers and all their famous pieces, which inform their understanding of music history as well. I like to introduce teenagers to a variety of genres and styles and widen their palette, so they can eventually choose what they would like to focus on developing with me. Read More

I am a music teacher who loves to work with students. I love to share my experiences and I like to make the music lessons fun and exciting.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Flute Clarinet Bass Guitar Harmonica Banjo Ukulele Mandolin
Every new student comes to their first lesson with particular skills and musical interests. My job is to assess the students abilities and lead them down the appropriate paths to achieving their musical goals. My goal is to cultivate musicianship. Students are encouraged to develop technical skills as a means of creative and emotional expression. Sight reading and improvisation are taught simultaneously with music theory and composition. Through individualized lessons and ensemble experience, students are encouraged to reproduce and create music as early as possible. Read More
Instruments: Piano Harp
I am a pianist and harpist with a bachelor's degree in music. I have been teaching privately for the past 5-10 years. I also can teach improvisationally along with music theory. I perform in NJ often on the harp and I was a church organist also for 10 years in the past.Right now because of the coronavirus I would like to teach students on line via facetime. It is new to me, but I think it can work! Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
My experience as a voice teacher dates back to 1995. I was invited to teach several Masterclasses over the course of twenty years. The invitations came from institutions such as: The Oberlin Baroque Performance Institute, The Guildhall School of Music (London), The Cleveland Institute of Music, The Royal College of Music (London) and The Royal Conservatory of The Hague. I began teaching private lessons in my home studio in 2008 and in September of that year I was invited to join the music faculty at Oundle School, UK. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Saxophone Flute Clarinet Bass Guitar Recorder Double Bass Music
I am a musician, composer, and educator seeking to share my musical knowledge with students who are eager to learn. I was born into a musical family, and was exposed to great music from an early age. I began playing the piano when I was eight, picked up the saxophone at ten, and have been playing flute and clarinet now for about six years. Following my musical education, attaining my Bachelor's of Music Performance at Ohio State University and then a Master's of Music at Western Michigan University, I worked as a musician for Royal Caribbean Cruises, performing alto saxophone, flute, and clarinet as part of the Show Band aboard the Radiance of the Seas.

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
my decision to play drums as my primary instrument happened very naturally. I started off playing clarinet and classical percussion. Later on, I also studied piano but when I started studying jazz, I switched to drums. I still play the other instruments, but playing drums is just another experience for me. I can express myself the best on the drums out of all the other instruments I play. It feels the most honest. I think because when you play drums you really feel the instrument resonate. This natural phenomena is very inspiring.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Besides teaching, I also have a career as a performing musician and composer. Last September, I went to Europe with my quartet and we played 10 shows over 2 weeks and recorded my compositions in a studio in Germany. I'm very honoured that these top noch musicians are willing to work with me.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I've never had students that took part in a competition. But I am willing to prepare students to enter a competition, aiming for the best possible result. Since I took part in many competitions, I know how to deal with this.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Honesty. An instrument never lies. It sounds the way you feel, think,...
The instrument knows as much about you as you know about yourself. It might even know more.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I don't use specific methods because people and students aren't specific either. Some books work for some people and visa versa. I disagree with a lot of the academia so I rather teach my own method, which is a method that I create per student.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Start of simple. Playing simple things is actually the hardest thing to do. Because the material is so raw, you can't hide behind your mistakes. So I would stick with a simple idea for a long time before going to other places. Really try to become this one idea so that you don't have to think about it anymore. You just play it naturally. This will automatically lead me to other worlds I still have to explore.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
Performance, because I love performing.
I got my Education degree within my performance degree.
Composition: Because i find it very challenging to write my own music. To learn more about yourself as a player and come op with (musical) questions and solutions.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I don't have a dream piece yet. For now I would say that my dream piece would be an improvisation where I'm really happy about.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
painting.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
free improvised music. in free improvised music i can be the most honest i can be compared to any other musical situation. since i don't like lying, this is my favourite genre.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
read the question about choosing my primary instrument. everything happened naturally, I didn't think about any of these things.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
read "did you ever have a teacher that inspired you?"
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
this happened very early on, I must have been 11 or 12. When going to middle school, my friends started thinking about professions but since I already enjoyed playing music that much, it was a very easy decision to make.
