There is nothing more rewarding then to see a student achieve and accomplish a goal. I believe and always positively affirming and acknowledging there accomplishments. Positive reinforcement and encouragement always assist the student to strive and succeed. I always give my student the choice to decide between multiple pieces, but I always choose pieces with a new technique or concept, so the student is consistently learning. My job is to discovery the students desires then to formulate a lesson plan that will not only stimulate, educate and challenge but also make the learning experience enjoyable. Read More
Instruments: Piano
My favorite thing about teaching is that no two students are the same; and no two lessons with the same student are either! It is so important to establish a goal for a student to work towards, so that they know what they're practicing for. Not huge goals either that are months away, but goals that can be accomplished between each lesson. The best part of the job is seeing students get excited for music, and being able to grow in such a way that they're able to put their personality into their performances. Read More

I sometimes fill in teaching in a theater class for vocals and guitar. My teaching experience goes back to my days trying to show my friends and family how to play a chord. I love composing my original material and I am always looking to teach new students! I have worked with children for almost ten years, but any age group is fine! I have some teaching experience, but mainly through Psychology. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums
To me it is very important to balance the technical and creative aspects of development. No matter what age/skill level I split time during lessons into activities that develop technique and language, and compositional, creative activities that help each student explore their instrument and what they have to say with it. This balance can be altered depending on the interests of the student or parent. I also encourage students to bring in songs that they want to learn/play along with to keep the lessons relevant to their musical interests. Read More
Instruments: Piano
My teaching experence started, as I mentioned above, in 2005 when I started giving training courses at some churches. That was in Baghdad, giving training courses to kids who were interested in playing with choirs. Basically the courses were divided into two lessons/ week: 1 lesson in theories, 1 lesson in applied music. Then I started giving private lessons also in Baghdad. Then I moved to Lebanon, where I taught in two institutes for music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Double Bass
I have been teaching students for over 10 years. In addition to piano, guitar, violin, and double bass private lessons, I have also taught group lessons. I taught a group piano lab for 5th graders. I taught group guitar lessons to camp students. I have been a member of two private lessons instutions who help me find private students on all instruments so that I can travel to students homes or have them come to my home studio. Read More

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The most challenging part of becoming a great musician is to tell a story through the music you create while playing. I encourage my students to create a narrative which they want to express when playing music.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
For most of my brass students, except for French Horn, I use the Rubank Method to start, then the Kopprasch 60 selected Studies which is a great method for technical and musical mastery. For my Horn Students I start with the Pottag-Hovey method and then the Kopprasch--this was the method my teacher used when I was a teenager starting out on the Horn. For my Piano students I start with the Music Tree which is a visual based method and starts with the black keys, and they are easily recognizable on the keyboard. Soon after starting--depending on the age of the student--I use in parallel the Dozen a Day series. I use a lot of my own exercises and routines with my students which I often tweak for the needs of each individual student. I also have all of my students work on performance pieces which they can use for Festival and my annual recital where each students perform a solo and also in an ensemble piece which usually arrange for the group so that each student has a part which challenging, but within their reach at their current level. All of my students play scales and arpeggios and usually can play all major and minor scales within about 2 years. Playing scales is how one "learns" their instrument!
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
For Piano students warm ups start with scales and arpeggios--once a student get to that level. this can be 2-10 minutes depending on the level of the student. Then work on any new scales and/or arpeggios and then any routines I have given them 3-7 minutes. This is followed by practicing the exercises from whatever method they are using, followed by the performance piece they are working on. I encourage students to practice every day. If they are short on time a short warm-up 2-5 minutes is much better than no playing at all. At least 3 day a week students should practice for 20-40 minutes.
For brass students Students should always buzz the mouthpiece for 20 - 60 seconds--or more. In the first 30 seconds of playing they should reach to both the top and bottom of their range with either scales or arpeggios. this is followed some mastered scales and arpeggios. The warm-up should be 5-10 minutes total. The rest is the same as the piano students.
