Instruments: Piano Violin
The modern, up to date PIANO books that I use introduce ALL the styles including classical, pop, jazz, blues, boogie and ragtime.These books also cover music theory, technique and provide performance pieces. All my school-age students like to play the MUSIC MOUNTAIN game, where they climb up with weekly points for practicing and learning songs by memory. We keep track with a special practice record book. Prizes occur every 100 points. Read More

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me! I had an interest in education at a young age. After heart surgery left me unable to participate in sports or recess in the fifth grade, I became a teacher’s assistant, and my love for teaching began to blossom. In the sixth grade, I began playing the viola. I went on to become viola section leader in high school. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums
Lessons are usually pretty casual. I like to use a book so that we always have a clear path. Students can request that their lessons be more vigorous (say if you're auditioning for a part or instrument for some activity) but otherwise, I tend to keep things more laid back. Read More
Instruments: Piano Synthesizer Accordion Keyboard
For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements, Suzuki method and music theory combined. 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
Instruments: Piano Voice
I believe that it is the teacher duty not only to impart the wisdom expected of them, but to also guide the students in their academic endeavors. While I understand that each and every student is unique in their learning and progress, I will always strive to push my students forward and sometimes out of their comfort zones as to be better performers, better musicians, and better people. That being said, although I'm strict with the work assigned of my students, I'll always be lenient in terms of understanding that there is never one single way of learning something. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet French Horn Music
I am an energetic and encouraging instructor who loves seeing students get excited about learning new things. I have B.M. in Acoustic Composition and Electronic Music, 10 years of playing/performing French horn, 5 rigorous years of piano instruction and performance, and a whole lifetime of singing. I wear a lot of hats in my professional life that range from composer to ethnomusicologist (specializing in UK identities and politics in music) to performer (formerly primarily horn but now primarily piano and voice) to music administrator to teacher.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Everyone loves to say, "Practice!" Few people seem to want to translate this idea into something manageable, practical, encouraging, realistic, psychologically fitting, etc. Furthermore, many (young) people who are interested in music are also NOT naturally inclined towards discipline or "high-energy" goal-setting; therefore, they could use even MORE help than normal to actually DEFINE what it means to "practice." (Hint: It doesn't mean just looking at your music and trying to "get through" a song or piece -- although that's better than nothing!)
Here's something I recommend to almost all of my students.
Try 15 minute chunks each day. See if you can ACTUALLY get through a week doing this EVERY DAY (with perhaps one day off), instead of just telling yourself you "practiced this week."
Getting motivated to do these 15 minutes is pretty easy when you know WHAT TO DO with the 15 minutes.
Here goes:
1 Take stock of whatever you're working on. How many pieces or exercises are there? If one, that's no problem.
2 Rank these "pieces" by difficulty (and be honest, and don't overthink). "What do I not feel like playing?" Start with that one. If have only one piece, continue to Step 3.
3 Continue the same process WITHIN each piece. "Which part of this do I not feel like playing?" Do it!!! Your "dessert" will be playing the parts you DO like better for now.
4 The first 10 minutes of your practice time should be spent on Steps 1-3, repeating as much as makes sense. There is almost NO LIMIT to how "small" you can get while focusing on "difficult passages."
5 Try to insure you have time (within the 10 minutes) to reincorporate these "trouble spots" into the surrounding material. Hopefully, play/sing through the whole piece/song (assuming it's short enough), so you can enjoy the satisfaction of seeing what your very recent work afforded you.
6 (IMPORTANT AND UNDER-RATED) Spend 5 full minutes playing your instrument with "no rules," except the rule that you "can't" play your "actual pieces." Get to know your instrument on more personal terms: "What happens if I do this? What does this sound like? How does this feel physically? How do I play that thing I heard from a friend the other day?" If everything you do on your instrument was "following directions," you are missing out on creativity, on freedom, on mastery, on expertise, on enjoyment, on MUSIC. If you don't SET ASIDE TIME to have fun on your instrument, you may never do so, and you may "rebel" and use other time that should be used on your pieces to have fun instead. Besides, knowing that it's "play time" at the end makes "working" on your pieces less of a threat to the lazy part of your brain.
Notice, please, that I recommend 1/3 of your DAILY music time to be spent in a "free" way. This wasn't an accident. Notice also, that I didn't recommend 1-2 hours' worth of daily practice time. Also not an accident.
. . . If you've ever seriously taken up a fitness routine, you may have encountered the advice that you should "leave yourself wanting more" as opposed to constantly draining yourself and inviting burnout. I believe it's the same with music. I also believe that anyone who ASPIRES to an hour or more of practice time should have no trouble committing to 15 minutes . . . and that our beliefs about how we're spending our time are often far removed from reality . . . ! Therefore, make yourself "faithful in small things" before moving on to bigger things.

I would like to know your class schedule rates and timings for Violin and Piano classes. I have an eight year old daughter who has had no musical classes. Thanks
Elizabeth
I am interested in weekly piano lessons for my 5 year old son. He has been taking private lessons for a year now, but we are not happy with the progress.
Anthony
1. I would prefer to be contacted via e-mail, not via phone. 2. I am looking for someone who is capable of teaching two students (myself and my fiancee) in each lesson.
