Instruments: Piano Guitar Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
I have a lifelong love of music that has taken many forms. I have had concert hall performances around the country of pieces that ranged from traditional classical, to the experimental and the avante-garde. I have created gallery installations that transformed sound as participants moved about the space, as well as other digital/performative experiments that pushed the leading edge of art. I have performed original pop and rock music, organized public musical events, and throughout it all my passion for music and sound has continued to deepen. Read More

Hi, I am a pianist, composer, teacher, and multi-instrumentalist originally from upstate New York. I am passionate about all of the above, but I consider teaching to be the most immediately rewarding. In 2008 I completed my degree in music at the State University of New York in Fredonia. Shortly afterwards, I made a journey to the west coast and found a home in the SF bay area. I got involved in the vibrant music scene as quick as possible and played with as many different types of musicians as I could find. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
Wether the student is beginner or is more experienced, I take time to get to know the student and understand their goals with the piano and what they want to achieve out of piano lessons with me. I then give students a customized approach to reaching their goals while also ensuring the student is developing the proper skills and techniques. All the student needs is a binder and a pencil, and I create lesson plans and strategies to ensure the success of the student. Read More
Instruments: Piano
My teaching style is flexible. For beginners, I will teach them all basic technic and reading skills. I believe in learning music by the ability of reading the music. Therefore, to have good reading skill is essential to all my students. Even if the students do not read music fluently, I will emphasize my teaching in improving them to read music. All my students will have good music sight reading eventually. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Viola Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I began teaching private lessons part-timewhen I was still in high school on Long Island. I have taught in elementary day care in the early 1990's and taught in public schools elementary general music and chorus, beginning instrumental music at the elementary level, as well as middle school orchestra in the San Lorenzo Unified School District. After a vocal chord injury, I left the public schools to create my indie record label, produce new projects and allow healing. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute Piccolo
For beginning students, I place a large emphasis on the fundamentals i.e. scales, chord progressions etc. I also start them on solo pieces and like them to choose the pieces they are working on. I believe that if they choose their repertoire then they will have greater love and enthusiasm for the music. I also encourage them to push beyond what they think they can do. I work hard to match my teaching style to the needs of each and every student. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I am very encouraging and patient as a teacher, i understand how learning is when your trying to get over the hurdles. My compassion allows me to put myself in the students shoes, which makes me a better teacher. I like to encourage the student to listen to artists and incorporate musical philosophy to inspire the student to play and achieve and experiment. I think being curious is a musician's best friend, it creates the drive to want to learn more. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
The question of how to practice effectively has fascinated me for some time. I have spent a lot of time thinking about this question and have consulted with many great musicians about how they practice effectively. Below are a few principles that I follow in order to practice effectively.
1. Remember that effective practice is different for everyone: There is no one right way to practice. What is effective for one person may not be effective for somebody else. Part of growing as a musician is finding one's own unique style of practice.
2. There is a difference between playing and practicing: Practicing refers to deliberate and focused work at the piano in order to improve or learn something. Playing is freer and less constrained use of the instrument. Both practicing and playing are important, but most of your improvement comes from practicing. If you aren't attentive, much of the time you think you are spending practicing may actually be time spent playing. A helpful rule to follow is to practice BEFORE you play. Think of it like eating your dinner before having your dessert.
3. Work in small sections: When We are learning a piece, we often have the urge to play through the whole piece over and over. Usually it is far more effective to work on smaller sections at a time.
4. Record yourself practicing: This is one of absolute best things you can do to improve your practicing. When you record yourself, you will be more aware as you practice. And, when you listen back later, you will hear all kinds of things that you missed when you were practicing in the moment.
5. Slow down: The importance of slowing down cannot be understated. It is an almost universal common error for newer students to consistently try and play something faster than they are ready.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love classical music and in particular I am obsessed with the music of JS Bach. I find Bach's music to be refreshing because it is not at all repetitive. The structure of his music differs from most music written since. Rather than one melody supported by chords, Bach's music is usually multiple melodies, that imitate and interweave with each other. Classical music in general is very beautiful and fascinating to study as all Western music including jazz and pop is descendant from classical music.
