For each instrument, I have the same basic approach: discover what they like, assess what they can do, and begin with the fundamentals. If a student is more advanced, I still like to spend time on fundamentals at the beginning anyway to see if we can fill in any foundational weakness that the student may have. For each instrument, I also have a wide array of repitoire that I give students that zero-in on technical challenges a student will be presented with. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums
On every instrument that I teach I place great importance on fundamentals, especially developing a deep sense of rhythm. Whether a novice student is learning basic concepts for the first time or an advanced student is maintaining their musical foundation, a short routine of very simple warmups is essential and is also a beautiful way to connect to the instrument every time we sit down to it.For young beginners on piano and guitar I start with the Faber Piano Adventure series and the FJH Young Beginners series - for young drum students I use Alfred's beginners drum set book.

I believe patience and consistency are key to successful learning. I try to model these qualities for my students. My goal is to create an environment in which effective student practice becomes a part of the daily routine, so that once students come to lessons we can work together to solve the musical problems the piece presents. Students bring their enthusiasm and I bring my supporttogether, we learn to interpret and create the music. Read More

I take the great things about the Suzuki Method and use them (fun, creativity, by-ear learning, group jams). Then I take the things I don't like about the method and disregard them (pre-established repetoire, no composition or improv). I teach kids how to concentrate, how to teach themselves, how to ignore distractions, and the philosophy for joyful performance without nervousness. The result has been that I have trained hundreds of children to have fun playing music well, plus four of my child students have become national acts. Read More

I began teaching when I started studying with Berklee. Admittedly, I wasn't entirely sure how to take on such a job, but soon discovered that it was something that came naturally to me, and something I enjoyed doing. I have taught students of varying levels, from a complete beginner unable to read any music, to someone who was able to sightread proficiently. I like to take the time to know what my student's goals are, and help them work towards achieving them. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Double Bass
I'm a lifelong musician, and have been playing piano for 25 years and violin, guitar, and double bass for over 15 years. I taught K-12 band, orchestra, choir, and general music. I was a guitar songleader a camp for 7 summers. I played in orchestras and jazz bands through high school and college. I also play cocktail piano and campfire guitar for weddings and events.

Every stage is different. With beginners, you want them to learn the notes first, then the chords, the harder chords..etc. With intermediate players, you can begin teaching them songs and giving them songs to work on. Advanced players is all about finding the right tone and the right sounds, most likely helping by providing guitar work with them. It all depends on the student! But I know that for children, you start with the basics and work your way up! Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
For techniques and learning songs, If you feel like you are stuck, slow it down. This is the advice that I have gotten from every single teacher that I had so far. SLOW IT DOWN until you feel comfortable with playing it.
Another thing is, always have a practice plan, what I always suggest to student, is to have a practice time sheet. For example, for first 1 hour, you will do rudiments, for second hour you will do sight reading practice, and for 3rd hour, your will practice on the music you are assigned or trying to learn. It is very easy to lose focus in while practicing, and having practice plan will help you to have an efficient practice.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Every one must be ready to take my lesson as long as they have passion and love for music.
Level and age don't matter in my lesson, I will be welcoming any kind of student from any age.
In my opinion, there should not be any requirement to start taking lesson except love of music. If your child loves to listen to music, taping table with music, sing, or anything, he/she is ready to learn music. The most important thing is to have fun and motivation, as long as students have a passion towards music, they already are students.
When will I start to see results?
It definitely depends on what a student is aiming for. If he/she is seeking to learn a song, you can obviously see a result when they are able to play. In my experience, from any level of student, they will be able to learn a song that they desire within 2 weeks or a month.
If he/she is seeking to be able to play improvise, I would say it will take 2,3 years to improvise on music.
If he/she is seeking to learn every 26 American rudiment, it will take 1,2 years to learn every one of them. Hope I answered this question, but in a nutshell, it really depends on what a student wants to learn.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I did not have a teacher that I was taking a lesson, when I got into music, for me the best teacher is musicians that you are always listening to. To be a good musician, you have to listen to a lot of music and get inspired. When I was 11, I started to listen to Guns 'N' Roses, Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, so on and so forth. I got inspired by them by simply listening to their music, I always want do to play music like them, that is what made me started to learn music.
But to be specifically about a teacher that I had in the past. Dave DiCenso, is definitely the teacher I got inspired for the most. He taught me how to be an over all good drummer, how to listen to other musicians on a gig, and how to play drum set musically. These things boosted my enthusiasm towards music, and I went into music way deeper after taking him as my private teacher.
