Instruments: Piano
When teaching, I use very accepted strategies as I teach each individual. I work on the level and at the pace of each individual that is best for him/her. I keep a record of where each individual is at very regularly. I stay open for any questions, concerns, or ideas of others about the teaching and strategies that are used. At times when it can be appropriate, there are more fun activities used in teaching to decrease the mundane formality that can become too regular at times. Read More
Instruments: Piano Organ Keyboard
I have taught siblings in a class type setting. I have taught preschoolers at preschool. I have taught Little Mozarts to little ones. I use music in the homes already, sometimes I provide things from the 50s that my aunt and uncle scribbled in: leila Fletcher, Edna Mae Burnam, classical composers-mozart, debussy, chopan, clementi, beethoven, bach. Sometimes I provide my own children's music books, Faber and Faber, Bastien, Alfred. I have taught preschool through adults.I substitute teach and have included composers in my repertoire. Read More

I've been lucky enough to perform all over the U.S. and a lot of Europe by touring with different bands in high school, college, and independent touring groups. I've been teaching private lessons off and on for about 5 years now. It's been a goal of mine to learn as many instruments as possible throughout my life and focus on the instruments I love. I've been able to learn the piano, organ, all kinds of guitars, clarinet, oboe, saxophone, bassoon, trumpet, trombone, percussion instruments, and vocals. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I am mainly using Alfred's Premier Piano series in my curriculum for beginning students who are children. I include material from other method books that help meet the needs I want for my students. It is very important for any student at any level to have a strong technical foundation starting with proper posture and hand shape. When learning new songs and pieces, I start off with aural experiences for the students, especially when rhythm is difficult. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet Keyboard
There are many teaching methods for music performance. I choose the method which is suitable to an individual student. From the early childhood up to adult age. I am able to provide the materials with music notation and theory of both Classical and Jazz styles. Once I recognize the ability of each individual student I choose the path of development to everyone separately. I believe everyone is an individual and to help him grow musically the best way to teach is to discover the point of advance then choose the individual way of education. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Keyboard
I am somewhat flexible on books and methods, but unless my students have already invested time and money in a particular published method, I start them on the Bastien series, which is not too expensive and is well designed and effective. As they progress to intermediate, they will be expected to buy some classical music, collections, and technique books. In addition, I will write out some exercises and guiding information and instructions to assist them in their practice and approach to style and technique. 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.
