Instruments: Piano
One thing I really enjoy about teaching is seeing my students find their love for music. This is why it is important for each student to feel accomplished at each lesson. This can be done by helping the student make and meet realistic goals that helps them see their progress and feel like they are continually moving forward. I always make a point to acknowledge and explain what specific things the students do right. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet Keyboard
My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons 16 years ago. During my international travels I had chance to teach in different countries like Poland, UK, Ireland and now USA. Because I graduated MA of classical performance my teachings were based on classical theory and practice but my passion is Jazz and I took classes and courses in School of Jazz and begun to teach this type of music as well.

Instruments: Piano
A few years ago, I taught the piano for approximately three years. I stopped teaching for a while in order to pursue my Bachelor's Degree - beginning at Dixie State University, and I am now working to build my clientele again. I absolutely love to teach. One of my favorite moments with every students happens at around the 4th or 5th lesson, when the student then feels comfortable enough to begin to discuss with me some of their goals with the piano. (Some students open up a little sooner, and others take some time). Read More
Instruments: Piano
I'm currently attending school and majoring in both Piano Pedagogy and French Education. I love to play the piano and sharing my talents with other people. I have had many opportunities to perform in front of people. I love working with students and helping them to improve their musical abilities. My greatest achievements come from seeing the joy that piano can bring into students' lives. My goal every lesson is to get a smile from my students' faces. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Keyboard
I approach piano and violin instruction from a foundational, constructive perspective, combined with building rapport and reciprocal clarifying communications. Essentially this means that the student and I interact to build understanding by using the familiar to grasp the unfamiliar. An example is: When teaching hand position, I use the natural position the student already has when the hand is relaxed to build the hand playing position. The student is encouraged to ask questions, to feel free to make mistakes in order to take the risks necessary for true understanding and growth, and to engage in productive discussion leading to personal clarity with regard to their playing.

My studio has a relaxed, laid back atmosphere so student can feel comfortable in creating their own music as well as learning the music of the masters. I teach skills to help student play by ear, compose, and collaborate with others. Read More

I also have qualification and experience to perform any audio services: recording, editing, mixing, mastering etc; or musical, such as composition, arrangement, performance, musical production etc. I teach popular and classic piano, diatonic and chromatic harmonica, recorder (all of them) and quena (a native South American bamboo flute). Some music schools Ive been working in Brazil: Viva Msica, Tocatta, Cecran, BSB Musical and many other schools. Read More
Instruments: Cello Music
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a Masters Degree in Cello performance and a Bachelor's Degree in Cello Performance. Both these degrees focused on the study of playing the advanced-professional cello. I picked the cello out when I was 10 and ever since then, I never looked back because this is the instrument for me.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
There is a beautiful piece composed Ernest Bloch entitled "The Prayer", absolutely beautiful. This piece is gorgeous on the cello and after learning it several years ago, I would love to perform it at some time. I might have an opportunity to play this piece this year.
This piece depicts the calm and quietness of the Jewish people. He wrote this piece for Hans Kindler, with the intent to capture the Jewish spirit and soul.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Assuming this question is truly about practicing and not a lesson. Then practicing should involve slow and thorough practicing by reading the correct notes, knowing which finger needs to be associated with the note. This should be done every day in order to learn each note. then on the 3rd day playing the entire piece. At this point, if you have some errors, isolate what is the problem, fix that problem after 5 times. Then back up one measure and try playing two measures together. If your problem is fixed then you practiced correctly. After this point, start from the beginning and your problem should have been resolved.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Yes I use String Builder by Applebaum. This book is very helpful because it is a step by step method, that way there is a logical order in which the student learns. There are other books such as Alfred, Hal Leonard, or Suzuki, but I am very happy with the String Builder.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I think the technique of learning how to vibrato is the toughest part of the learning process. It requires a lot of patience and due diligence of practicing. The process is slow and ugly sounding, but if done right it sounds great.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I have two high school students who have won scholarships from Music Teachers Association where each received $300 towards private lessons. These same students are now in their 1st year of college and continue to play at the community level. In addition, one of my students played a solo piece with my orchestra 2 years ago when she was only 15.
