Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Bass Guitar
Ive been playing Guitar and Singing since I was 9 years old. Almost all of this was self-taught until I attended Columbia for Music theory and Composition after high school. There, I was ranked the top rated guitarist on fret-board jury for two semesters in a row, I was an examplary student and began my journey towards becoming and an accomplished pianist. Starting at the age of 12, I founded my first band and have played in a variety of original and cover bands ever since. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet
For beginner students, Hal Leonard's Essential Elements provides a simple and easy to understand method to learning an instrument. For trumpet students, I like to integrate Earl D. Irons, H. L. Clarke, Arban, Stamp, Chicowicz and Caruso studies. In addition to technique, these books offer etudes and duets. For jazz improvisation students, iRealPro, The Real Book and Jamey Abersolds ii-V-I book (Volume 3). In addition to these method books, I also like to stress the importance of sight reading; books like Alan Raphs Dance Band book and other solo repertoire provide good sight reading training.

To me, the key element for a successful learning experience is to engage the student in the lesson and during their individual practice. I have battled with ADHD my whole life and I distinctly remember daydreaming during many of my classes in college, retaining little-to-no information. It is very difficult to engage with a topic as complex as music, but it is crucial to absorb every second. My main priority during a lesson is engaging to student in the session material, typically fun and exciting ways. Read More

They must also ensure that what they are doing is conducive to the goals and objectives of the group as a collective unit. Through the performance of music, students are able to develop skills in public engagement (performing under pressure in front of an audience), self-confidence, and demonstration of recent work. In addition, students need to make use of recordings of performances to evaluate and critique their own performance and the performance of the group in its entirety. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute Recorder Music Keyboard
Learning music entails much more than just playing a song. I am sure to incorporate theory, ear training, history, technique, and performance skills into the learning process. The goal is to teach the student to be a well-rounded musician and develop all of the skills needed to understand and fully enjoy the entire musical experience. In order to keep lessons fun, I will incorporate small rewards and am always welcoming of jokes and humor as long as our learning stays on track. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
Personally I am interested in many different genres of music (classical voice, jazz voice, classical piano, jazz piano, accompanying), and in college I was able to take many different kinds of lessons to fulfill my needs. As a result, I feel very comfortable teaching others about all sorts of different genres of music. Read More

Instruments: Violin
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes! My family inspired me! More precisely, my two brothers inspired me! It made me beam with excitement to listen to them play their saxophone and trumpet in middle school and when they came home from practice I felt honored to reach up for their mouthpiece and take a try! My parents upon suggestion from my brother brought home a violin one day and badda bing badda boom—I began.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose my instrument simply because I was entirely enamored with the creative force speaking through my older brothers when they played their saxophone and their trumpet. I was 3 and a half when I began playing so I chose the violin due to limited access to an instrument that I could actually begin at such a young age due to my physical size! It was for me either the piano or violin and I chose the violin! I later fell in love with the cello however never began it! Some of my good friends play this beautiful instrument so I am able to enjoy it vicariously through them!
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Playing in the Concertebouw Concert Hall in Amsterdam was a highlight as well as with The Cleveland Orchestra! Growing up in a family of music lovers and then moving away to Cleveland and eventually Boston, I was really excited to study with Doald Weilerstein at the New England Conservatory where my first investigations of the inner depths of music and what it meant to be a person began to erupt loudly and sensually. I developed a passion for yoga and Eastern religions and investigated simply out of passion brilliant writers of psychology, philosophy and political philosophy! I love playing chamber music and had a really wonderful time crafting my own quartet time out as well and participating in chamber music adventures like the Masterclass with the Takacs Quartet at Carnegie Hall as well as explorations for and beyond chamber music into life itself at places like Marlboro and Yellow Barn both creatively gifted nooks dedicated to the art of chamber music in the Western Classical Tradition located in tiny towns of Vermont.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I have spent most of my lifetime soloing that I have not had time to teach privately but one student here and there and yet have been a guest artist for many masterclasses and have given as much as possible to people through lecture programs and Various educational outreach venues! I have had a lot of fun doing this and sharing the gift of music in this special way! I know that for me, masterclasses are a wonderful way into a world of an artist that one does not know and in order to learn how they developed as an artist and their particular teaching methods, sometimes a masterclass gives what a private lesson cannot ... well always.. in that it is a basic sketch of the artist and their exstensive musical background and utilization of their brain in a frame of a moment.
