Instruments: Piano
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop passion and love for music. Therefore, it is important to let the students progress at their own paces with supervision and slight push. I encourage this by not only setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson and making sure we achieve that, but also by adding, from time to time, interesting notes about the history of music or composer's biography to captivate the students' imagination.

Instruments: Piano Trumpet
I have learned several approaches to the instrument from various teachers. I believe that to understand the instrument and command the instrument takes firstly knowing your own body and secondly knowing the way you learn. Myself and the student will progessively grasp this understanding through certain exercises such as journaling or whatever we may come up with! This is a checklist for being a stud at Trumpet: Get that air goin', and the blood pumpin'! Read More
Instruments: Piano
My teaching experience is not much. I had few students during my university period for about one year. Although a limited amount of time was put on teaching, I had wonderful experience with my piano teacher, Dr. Edvard Gregory Butler, who had already been teaching piano for over fifty years and truly altered my development. I had many incorrect way to practice, as well as many incorrect understanding, and he helped my to conquer those difficulties. Read More

I am a musician, an educator, and a lifelong learner who enjoys developing students' potential and watching them succeed at every musical challenge. I graduated from Bob Jones University in 2012 with a Bachelor of Music degree in Piano Performance, and went on to receive a Master of Music degree in Music History from the University of Hartford's prestigious Hartt School, graduating in 2015. Since my childhood, I have had the opportunity of participating in church music ministries, and now serve as congregational pianist and choir accompanist at Knotty Oak Baptist Church in Coventry, Rhode Island.

Instruments: Piano Guitar
I'm a dedicated musician, playing guitar and piano 20+ years. I began lessons on piano at 6 and guitar at 12, also studying saxophone a few years. I grew up in a musical family and learned some piano early on from my father who played jazz. I took formal lessons through high school and studied classical guitar at Keene State College. I moved to the Boston area after that, playing in original pop/rock bands while continuing at UMass Boston, majoring in Music Composition and Education. Read More

When will I start to see results?
Learning anything takes 10% theory and 90% practice. As long as the student consistently dedicates the 15min a day, the results will be immediate.
The secret is to approach the daily 15min practice as a pleasure and not a chore. In that regards, my specialty is to get the student motivated and on fire to get to see results.
With regular practice, I expect a student starting from nothing to start see very tangible results starting from 3 months. Chords form the basis of my teaching because they allow the student to play entire songs, and these can be played in all types of settings, family, friends, professional, etc. When the student notices how he can move people with his chords and have them singing and actually share musical moments of joy, he gets even more motivated to learn more, and that's the guitar snowball effect.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
As long as the child likes music and will not have any external issue with dedicating 15min daily, I consider him to be ready. As a matter of fact, there is no right age to start. In fact, children are much more capable of over-achieving themselves because they have not developed self-limiting beliefs. Therefore, all a child needs are guidance and mentorship that will spark the light inside of him to get to learn things and envision himself as an actual player.
Children do not need to have specific target songs to play. They would start with the basic music fundamentals, with tablature reading, and with playing simple classical tunes. From there, he would learn
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
In general:
In the beginning, focus on learning all chords, and practice changing your hand position from a chord to another. In addition, get a good handle on rhythm and temp, and rigorously use the metronome if needed.
When practicing existing songs:
Play slow first with the metronome. Focus on correcting the weak elements. Gradually increase speed. Once playing at comfortable speed, play alongside the music, and record yourself.
For more advanced players:
Focus on improvising, because that's where your skills will take it to the master level, your creativity will explode and you become a self-reliant musician who can play anything anytime anywhere.
When jamming with a band or other musicians, make sure you are well grounded with the rhythm and the tempo. Start playing basic. Slowly and gradually change things, alter nuances and add your own signatures. Do NOT EVER panic if you play a wrong note or tone, simply feint it and move, because it is most likely that nobody would have noticed it anyways, and besides, blue notes are part of the game.
Last words:
Do NOT get discouraged, as it took me several years just to be able to play a basic song from end to end. All you need is a consistent 15min of practice, ideally daily, but at least every other day. Once you learn, not only you cannot unlearn, but your progress speeds up at an impressive rate, and suddenly, after a few months, you end up playing lots of songs.
