Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Synthesizer Keyboard Electric Guitar
While I'm very new at teaching music, I have many years of experience in teaching in general. I've been pretty successful as a private math tutor since 2009, and more recently I've also been tutoring in ACT prep, SAT, prep, and C++. I'm very glad to be transitioning to music, since that is a topic I'm very passionate about. I love so many things about teaching, and I can't wait to see how they transfer to music lessons.

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet Music
My teaching style is whatever fits best with the student. I am a high energy, silly, out of the box kind of teacher. I have no shame doing a silly dance to get my students engaged and moving! My main goal is for students to have fun and enjoy making music. My students will quickly learn to love every sound that they make because every note they produce is unique to them. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Banjo Music Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. I am able to teach any genre at any level. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Euphonium French Horn Tuba Music
I am a seasoned Certified Music teacher. I have degrees in French Horn Performance and Orchestrator Conducting. I strive to teach to the learning styles of my students. I focus on technique, musicality and music rudiments--rhythm, harmony, vocabulary. I have been teaching privately for over 4 decades. I have worked with youth bands and orchestras and directed musical theatre and opera. I can work with beginners and students at all levels. Read More
Instruments: Piano
My favorite thing about teaching is that no two students are the same; and no two lessons with the same student are either! It is so important to establish a goal for a student to work towards, so that they know what they're practicing for. Not huge goals either that are months away, but goals that can be accomplished between each lesson. The best part of the job is seeing students get excited for music, and being able to grow in such a way that they're able to put their personality into their performances. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
For young students just beginning, I use a system of "music play" which includes games and engaging activities for the child to become interested in music. I borrow heavily from both Music Learning Theory and the Orff Method, as well as include games and ideas that I have found to be creative and educational. After this stage of learning, I start students on basic notation and sight reading, and learning what the notes on the page mean. Read More
Instruments: Piano
For beginning students who are children, I typically start with the Faber series, along with accompanying primer theory and lesson book. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. In addition to this, I typically start to add scale exercises to increase strength and speed in one's fingers. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Read More
Instruments: Drums
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
This all depends on my students. There are many amazing drum books out there and I will use them based upon what the student wants to learn, as well as thier strenghts and weaknesses. Sometimes, I do not use books. I simply put together exercises based upon the student's learning style.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master is independence between limbs. Perhaps equally as hard is kowing how ti play appropriately .As a drummer, we are the pulse of the band, but we also must know when to NOT play so much and when to support the band and/or vocalist.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I have traveld all over this country performing. I've played at famous venues like The Whiskey A-Go Go in Hollywood, The Stone Pony in Asbury Park, NJ, The Half Moon in London, UK, and the Count Baise Theater on Redbank, NJ and so many great places in between. My proudest accomplishment though is simply having been a part of so much great music.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
my first teachers where my uncles. All of my uncles could either sing or play an instrument. They taught me how to play in a band. How to listen and when to lead. To say that I appreiciate them is a gross understatement.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I love the dynamic range of the drums. They can be so delicately quiet and then powerfully loud. The drums control the way an audience moves. I also believe the instrument simply fits my personality. A drumset, and the person playing it, can not be ignored. They are big, they catch the light. Yet in most popular genres of modern music, the drums are supportive and almost in the background.
When will I start to see results?
Everyone progresses differently, so it's hard to say when results will become obvious. However, my goal is to get my students making music, even if it is at a very basic level, as quickly as possible. I usually see this happen within a couple of lessons.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
The hardest part about practicing is simply starting. Anything worth doing is worth dedicating time to. So, schedule the time, stick to that time, set goals and utilize video or audio recordings to monitor your progress.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If they are excited about the drums, they are ready!m I don't believe that any one is ever too young or too old to start learning an instrument. All you need is the passion to do it.
