Instruments: Piano
In my studio, I have found that the greatest results from consistent thoughtful practice. My experience of performance and practice have helped me develop a method that has proven successful in my studio.I was taught in the Russian piano school and have found that the incorporation method of performance, technique, theory, and music history give a well-balanced foundation for creative development of musicians. I have worked with students from age 3-65 and all levels from beginner to advanced and found this method works the best. Read More

Effective teaching caters to each student's unique needs and learning styles. This is why although I prefer the Music Tree series of method books, I'm also flexible and observant to determine the best possible approach on a student-by-student basis. My goal is to instill a genuine, passion for music in my students, and also to help develop well-rounded musicians. Whether you want to play Mozart, write songs, or play in a jazz band, I want to give you the tools you need to make the most of that situation. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Clarinet
I have been teaching lessons since High School. Back then, I mostly taught beginner students on the Piano. Since College, I have expanded my teaching repertoir to include Piano, Organ, Violin, and Viola. For the past 7 years, I have been teaching and instructing my students on the best practices as blossoming musicians. Nothing can make you a better musician than practice and consistency. No matter what genre of music you are interested in, you must practice.There will always be times were you have toforce yourself to practice (because it won't always be fun), but the gains are never dull.It has been my experience that those students who apply themselves diligently, love to play the songs that they have mastered over and over again.

Instruments: Piano Voice
My teaching experience has been with my church choir. I started out as the accompanist and helper. A year or so later I found myself in the conductor's seat. For two years I worked with my church's choir to bring out the best that they could be, and to bring joy to the congregation. Not only did I conduct the choir, but I was their accompanist as well. I tried to bring a mix of old and contemporary to the table because I believe being a well-rounded musician. Read More
Instruments: Violin
When will I start to see results?
There is no set answer of how long it takes to learn an instrument. This varies from student to student and really depends on the individual, how much practicing you do and your age. Playing is a physical skill so it does take repetition to improve. With regular practice a basic level of playing can be accomplished within a few months. Most of my students take lessons on a long term basis because they want to be constantly improving and they find the lessons enjoyable. Even if you don't have a musical background you can ask the me for advice on how to help your child practice. By simply monitoring that they are doing exercises a certain number of times per day the student will progress.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes, in fact I did have a wonderful teacher that inspired me to pursue music as a full time career. I was inspired to play the violin at a pretty young age when I would watch YouTube videos of my favorite songs being played. I remember one day when I was watching videos I saw a person playing the violin, and they were playing my favorite song. At that exact moment I knew I just had to learn to play the violin and make the magical sounds resonate from it like they were doing. Later after I picked up the violin my parents eventually got me a private violin teacher and she made learning the violin very fun for me although on some days they would be pretty serious when I didn't practice. They saw that I started to progress and accomplish many of my goals in school and in finding music jobs in the future and I know they couldn't be more proud of me. I learned a lot and have also passed on the method to my students with my own improvisation and skills of course. I have learned a lot on my music playing and learning journey and I will keep on going.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Something about the sound of the violin makes my heart soar. The violin generally carries the melody, so it is like another voice that is never marred by allergies or laryngitis. When well-played, the sound of the bow on the strings is a perfect medium for emotional expression. I love everything about how the violin makes me feel. I love the required upright posture whether one is sitting or standing- no hunching allowed! The feeling of the strings on my left hand fingers is almost like being in touch with the life pulse of the instrument. The movement of my right arm dragging and pushing the bow back and forth feels like the ebb and flow of life itself. Then there is the vibration that simultaneously travels through the instrument to both your chin and your fingers- seemingly through your very heart. As is the case with many instruments, the violin is capable of several kinds of voice depending on how it is manipulated by the musician. From the double-stops and shuffles of the fiddle, to the clean clear notes of most show tunes, to the airy, almost magical harmonics. And let us not forget the trills, the various styles of vibrato, and the glissando or staccato. Each technique creates its own unique voice within a musical piece.
