Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Viola Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I began teaching private lessons part-timewhen I was still in high school on Long Island. I have taught in elementary day care in the early 1990's and taught in public schools elementary general music and chorus, beginning instrumental music at the elementary level, as well as middle school orchestra in the San Lorenzo Unified School District. After a vocal chord injury, I left the public schools to create my indie record label, produce new projects and allow healing. Read More

When it comes to my teaching style, it is important for the student to learn at their own pace. I will set goals for my students based off of how he or she learns so that they can progress in a way that is comfortable for them. I will never push the student to where he or she is uncomfortable and become discouraged and lose interest. I also encourage the students to ask any questions that they have and that should never feel embarrassed about their questions. Read More

So I endeavor to strive first for great sound. 2. Counting: Furthermore, horn players play in horn sections about 90% of the time. Therefore, it is critical that the horn player count extremely accurate so that the section is tight. Also, on live shows or recording sessions, accuracy and execution is imperative for a good performance. So I lay a counting foundation and delve deeply into the subject. Sound and Counting, then everything else. Read More

I begain teaching as a band assistant in college. I would lead sectionals and work with students who where struggiling one on one. As I gained experiance my role and responsibly grew and I began to run rehearsals and plan for concerts. One aspect of lessons that I emphasise is musicality. Often I will ask my students to listen to the song that they are working on or watch the movie or tv show it comes from because it is important to hear and see the bigger picture. Read More

I try to get my students to develop a passion for music. My style and curriculum tend to have my students progressing quickly, but attention to detail is very important to me as well as a great sound on the instrument. For me the sound is number 1, then working on time is number 2. The notes will come. I try to make realistic goals for my students. We can achieve anything as long as we put the effort in. Read More

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
This is definitely one of the top questions I get from parents. If your child is consistently showing the desire to either sing or play an instrument, then it’s probably a good time to introduce them to a coach. By consistently, I mean for more than a couple of months. Children are fickle so you want to be patient to see if there is a persistence with their passion for a specific instrument.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I have been asked this question many times, and my answer is always the same, I didn’t choose my instrument, it chose me! I started singing at a very early age. My mom was the first one to notice my affinity for music and singing when I was five years old. One day while riding with her in our car, I started singing a song on the radio, and then started singing the harmony parts to the chorus. She immediately stopped the car, turned down the radio and asked me to sing a song with her. I can’t remember which one it was, but she then asked me to sing the harmony with her and I did. From that moment forward, she lovingly cultivated my passion for singing and the rest is history!
When will I start to see results?
You will start to see results after the very first vocal lesson guaranteed. The method that I coach is nothing short of incredible. It made me a more powerful, controlled, dynamic and conditioned vocalist, and it will do the very same thing for you!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
The advice I give all of my students for practicing effectively is One: Make sure you are practicing at least five days a week and optimally around the same time each day for scheduling consistency. Two: Always rest between exercises. Just like in the gym, give your muscles a chance to relax, and your brain a chance to allow the scope of the exercise to sink in between reps. 30 seconds is plenty of time between exercises. Three: Always start with a reasonable amount of time spent on each exercise before moving to the next. I have found that five minutes per exercise with 30 second rests in between is plenty to start with. As you become more comfortable and confident with the exercises, you can start adding time to each one for conditioning. Four: never let passion override your reason. Always be present in the moment to realize when your muscles are becoming fatigued. Each practice session will have an inflection point. Simply stop when you become overly tired.
