Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet Keyboard

I believe I have the ideal combination of knowledge, training, and experience to make an invaluable contribution to Musica Lessons. Since graduating with my Master’s degree in Clarinet Music Performance in 2002, I have performed with numerous musical groups, including bands, orchestras, and ensembles, all over the world. For 12 years I performed with the Sudecka Philharmonic Orchestra in Poland as a clarinetist and pianist. I worked aboard a Japanese cruise ship and played clarinet and saxophone as part of the ship’s band. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

I, above all, want students to develop their own love and appreciation for music. I have high expectations in y studio, but I make it clear that students will progress at different speeds and that’s okay. Every week I give a set of warm-ups and exercises to focus on and expect students to practice so we can hone them when we’re together, but I’ll never ask a student to do something they’re not comfortable or familiar with - if ever there’s a question I’m there to answer or demonstrate.

Instruments: Piano

I have been playing the piano since I was 7 years old. That's been 45 (yes) I said (45) years ago! I'm old. I'm married and have four adult children. I have a crazy cat named Lady. She rolls around like a dog. I love to crochet, knit and machine embroider and other hand crafts in my free time. I love to read. At this point in time Brandon Sanderson is my favorite author.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice

I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. If a student isn't having fun in their lessons, then I'm not doing my job! Music is fun! My students are encouraged to enter competitions and recitals, as well as work on composing their own original material, so they can feel good about their accomplishments and stay motivated to learn.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Flute

I have taught guitar, piano, and flute for 30 years. The most important part of teaching is helping students to feel proud of their accomplishments and to enjoy music. I like to show my student''s performances through texting videos to their families as well as live concerts and recitals. I enjoy performing regularly as well. I have also worked as a music therapist in many different settings with a variety of different populations. Read More

Instruments: Piano

For young beginners, I generally teach from the Nancy and Randall Faber Piano Adventure series, however I have recently been working to become more familiar with other options in order to best accomodate individual students. I am now also familiar with Alfred's Piano Method books, as well as the Hal Leonard series for young students. I have also taught by books from the same composers for an older beginner. I am a great fan of recitals, and as I build my studio I will collaborate with fellow piano teachers in the area to hold them. Read More

Instruments: Piano Synthesizer Harmonica Recorder Keyboard

Each student has his profile, so I seek to adapt the methodology of teaching according to the individual needs and personal choices of each student. For beginners looking to learn to read sheet music, I usually adopt the books of Michael Aaron or James Bastien (for small children). For those students who wish to develop their musicality without reading shuffles, I teach through imitation learning, the development of auditory perception and creativity. Read More
