Piano Lessons in West Orange, NJ

Instruments: Piano Synthesizer Keyboard

For younger children I typically begin with the Alfred Piano Lessons series as I find the songs very accessible, catchy, and the format of the book to be engagaing for kids. The series is also very suited to a complete beginner in its introduction of new concepts and will have the child already playing songs by the end of the first lesson. For older students I will skip over easy material in an effort to simply fill in the gaps of what they already know or can learn quickly and focus on moving them more into music they are interested in playing.

I'm an instructor that is always learning. I learn from my peers, professors and especially my students, and my goal when I give lessons is to pass everything I have and will learn to them.

I currently perform/record with groups like, singer/songwriter, Wendi Mancaku and pop band, Old Country Landscaping. Read More

Of course theory and regular practice are both very important. Read More

I like to make the lesson fun, including the student's interests for every age and level. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

The clarity of lyric diction in any languages is rudiment for the singers. Also, I show them how to maintain the breath control economically for a healthy singing. "The sound is the compression of the air and the diaphragm is the support for the breath." I have been through the misinterpretations about the breath controls by the diaphragm, with many other teachers and singers in the past. We all have our own unique vocal instruments and we have to train our minds to picture of our sensitive vocal cords' healthy functioning by nature. Read More
