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.

Then from there I see what the student actually needs to do first according to where he is at. On learning guitar, what is focused on depends on what each student may have struggles in playing, so we would focus on those things but also strengthen the strong points. Even for beginners some are strong in certain areas and weak in other areas. I use the time that we have together very wisely and ensure that I don't leave the lesson with you confused about anything at all ever! Read More

I am a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music. In 1992, I graduated from Baruch (CUNY) with a degree in Applied Music. I have performed in Nashville and in New York City which has been one of my greater experiences as a musician, and I have had the opportunity to play at Jazz and Country Western clubs. I also am part of the September Concert Event every year for the past 9 years performing with my students and holding a tribute with The Loupakis Gymnastics from Astoria in Athens Square Park.

Instruments: Piano Voice

My goal is to build music enthusiasts with a foundation that can span a lifetime. I began teaching one on one lessons with the vision of creating a supportive teaching space where students can work toward finding their inner voice and developing their musical expression.  My piano and voice students range greatly in age, experience and their motivations to learn including natural born performers, shy beginners, recreational and professional musicians.  I also coach professional public speakers on projection of voice.  In all cases, I caringly create goal-oriented curriculums, tailored specifically to each student’s learning objectives.  My centered and whole approach to singing, speaking and playing allows my students to organically find their own voice through supported breath and air flow.  I nurture each student’s ability to self-express while developing technical skill, music theory and musicality.
