Instruments: Piano Guitar Organ Synthesizer Ukulele Keyboard Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
It is my belief that every child deserves the gift of music. It brings me great joy to watch children of all ages embark upon the wonder that is music. My objective especially for younger learners is to keep my students both engaged and having fun. I have taught children piano, general music, and guitar in Chinatown NYC to as far south as Trinidad where I led a master class for elementary students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
The most important thing is to engage my students to learn. Inspiration and motivation are very important factors in teaching music. It's very important to go with the student's pace. I always want the best from my students. I have high expectations and I always get excellent results. Read More

I'm a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music. In 2016, I graduated from The University of Miami with a Doctor of Musical Arts degree in Jazz Performance. Performing all over the world has been one of the greater experiences of my life as a musician, and I've had the opportunity to play in all 48 of the contiguous United States. I've also had the experience of traveling to and performing in 45 different countries. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums Orchestral Percussion Djembe
Like stated above, I strive to make my lessons fun and engaging above all else. Of course we need to also learn in the lesson, but I typically gage lesson plans around a student's areas of interest. Some people really enjoy learning from books and exercises, while others are more engaged learning songs and music that they listen to. Whatever your preferences are, we can tailor our lessons around them and find new ways to get you practicing and learning new material. Read More

Hi! I am an internationally acclaimed performer and teacher. I have the privilege of performing all over the world as a Conductor, Organist and Pianist. I am a huge believer in the power of music to change the world. I work in Haiti every year helping the National Orchestra players as well as present an Annual Children's Benefit in NY every year to help at risk kids. I have a Doctorate from the prestigious Manhattan School of Music in New York City where I was a Professor for many years. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
Above all else, I believe that the learning process should be rewarding and fun! Setting incremental goals that can realistically be accomplished is important because developing skills of this type takes time and patience. I like students to work on both things that are their bread and butter while simultaneously working on more challenging material that will get students out of their comfort zone. I value having a positive personal and professional relationship with students, as lessons should feel like a safe space that students should WANT to come to! Read More
Instruments: Piano Clarinet Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Djembe
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
my decision to play drums as my primary instrument happened very naturally. I started off playing clarinet and classical percussion. Later on, I also studied piano but when I started studying jazz, I switched to drums. I still play the other instruments, but playing drums is just another experience for me. I can express myself the best on the drums out of all the other instruments I play. It feels the most honest. I think because when you play drums you really feel the instrument resonate. This natural phenomena is very inspiring.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Besides teaching, I also have a career as a performing musician and composer. Last September, I went to Europe with my quartet and we played 10 shows over 2 weeks and recorded my compositions in a studio in Germany. I'm very honoured that these top noch musicians are willing to work with me.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I've never had students that took part in a competition. But I am willing to prepare students to enter a competition, aiming for the best possible result. Since I took part in many competitions, I know how to deal with this.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Honesty. An instrument never lies. It sounds the way you feel, think,...
The instrument knows as much about you as you know about yourself. It might even know more.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I don't use specific methods because people and students aren't specific either. Some books work for some people and visa versa. I disagree with a lot of the academia so I rather teach my own method, which is a method that I create per student.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Start of simple. Playing simple things is actually the hardest thing to do. Because the material is so raw, you can't hide behind your mistakes. So I would stick with a simple idea for a long time before going to other places. Really try to become this one idea so that you don't have to think about it anymore. You just play it naturally. This will automatically lead me to other worlds I still have to explore.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
Performance, because I love performing.
I got my Education degree within my performance degree.
Composition: Because i find it very challenging to write my own music. To learn more about yourself as a player and come op with (musical) questions and solutions.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I don't have a dream piece yet. For now I would say that my dream piece would be an improvisation where I'm really happy about.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
painting.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
free improvised music. in free improvised music i can be the most honest i can be compared to any other musical situation. since i don't like lying, this is my favourite genre.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
read the question about choosing my primary instrument. everything happened naturally, I didn't think about any of these things.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
read "did you ever have a teacher that inspired you?"
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
this happened very early on, I must have been 11 or 12. When going to middle school, my friends started thinking about professions but since I already enjoyed playing music that much, it was a very easy decision to make.
