Instruments: Piano Voice Ukulele Music Keyboard
I like to branch out students knowledge of musical genres and get them listening to new stuff. Typically though, I begin lessons with encouraging the student to work on a song they love and enjoy that inspires them to sing/play! I also have repertoire to suggest for different voice types and skill levels. I never want students to feel discouraged or give up, so I make sure feedback is constructive. Read More

My goal as an instructor is to help my student's achieve their goals, help them be the best they can be, and encourage my students to have fun while doing so! I have a Bachelor of Music degree in Jazz Studies from Western Michigan University and a Master of Music degree in Jazz Performance from New England Conservatory. I was a finalist in the 2nd Annual Ella Fitzgerald Jazz Vocal Competition and Mid-Atlantic Jazz Festival Voice Competition in 2017. Read More
Instruments: Piano
While my primary focus is performance, I have taught piano since I was 10. My approach is tailored to the individual student. While I love teaching classical repertoire, I use the student's current musical passion -- be it rock, jazz, pop, theater, or classical -- as the key to opening a pathway for artistic development, technical confidence, and understanding. I begin by teaching chord progressions, which permits immediate immersion into theory, technique, improvisational skills, and confidence. Read More

I have had the privelage to perform with a number of artists and musicians in the greater NJ/NY area. I have also played guitar on many professional recording sessions for Major Label associated artists. My main goal is to teach others and give the tools necessary to express themselves through the Guitar. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Viola Electric Violin Music Keyboard
For beginning students, I typically start with my method based on a combination of the Suzuki method, a base of the European School, and my intuition and vision of each student. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Read More

The musical styles of these groups range from rock, folk, country, zydeco and blues. I have a Bachelor's degree in music from University of Massachusetts Lowell. While studying there I focused on producing and performing on recordings. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
My advice about practicing effectively is to define the amount of time you can devote to practice, limit the scope of what you wish to work on in that practice session (i.e., I can practice 1 hour and I want to work on 4 pieces), so I'll devote 15 minutes' practice time to each piece/song I'll work on. Listen to a recording of the song/piece (if possible), play or sing it through to understand where I need to improve, then zero in on the most problematic area to repair). Make a mental or physical note of it. Practice those same pieces/songs each day, reviewing the work of the previous day and teaching myself to play or sing another section better than before. Once I learn a passage well, duplicate this small victory in this small section 3 times, but not necessarily 3 times in a row!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If you are ready to devote time to sitting with your child each day for the joy and discipline of practice time, then your child is most likely ready to start lessons:
If he or she has been exposed to music since birth or early childhood and sees; hears his or her parents engaging in things musical (humming along with a song, playing recordings, attending concerts, etc), then he/she, is most likely ready to share this joy and delve into the knowledge behind the simple enjoyment of music. Parents set the tone.
When will I start to see results?
You will see results as early as the first week if you engage in daily consistent practice. All this depends on your concentration, motivation and consistent application of effort towards a pre-determined short term goal. The more ambitious the goal, the more detailed shorter-term objectives and mile stones need to be planned out on a time line, and daily practice adhered to assiduously towards these milestones. Realize that life takes many twists and turns and your desire for yourself or for your child may have been one thing in May, but may change dramatically in December, when the path of your own life's priorities shift.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
The first teacher I studied with as a child was (or seemed to me at the time), an elderly woman with a kind disposition. I adored her and looked forward to lessons each week not just because she served milk and cookies at the lessons, but because the treasures she taught me were tidbits I shared with my music loving parents who appreciated every thing I shared with them. Later, when we immigrated to this country, I studied with both the matriarch and patriarch of a musical family, who were fun loving, creative and very witty. They spread both discipline and enthusiasm to all their five children, which, in turn, extended to students who were privileged enough to be in their sphere. I also studied piano and composition with budding performing artists at Bennington, and some established faculty there. My experiences at the College were highlights of my formative years.
