Instruments: Piano Keyboard

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music. Therefore. Its important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. We can set a goal in each lesson,which can give them the motivation to keep practicing. Each student has their own method to teach, but my job is to find out how to make them feel that practicing is not boring, they are willing to play. Read More

And my job will be to guide the student to stay on the right track and encourage them to work. This is the most ideal way of learning which guarantees the best result. My teaching is very methodical. I have a special talent in finding the cause of a problem. For example, when I see someone play, I can tell exactly what should be fixed first in order to gain progress. Read More

Instruments: Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion

I believe the proper technique is essential in order to be a successful percussionist. We would start by how to hold the stick properly, whether it be matched grip or traditional grip. From there we would move on to how to properly hit the drum and bounce the stick. The first few lessons are usually all about technique and approach and we would mainly stay on one drum or surface, but after that we would move to the drumset or another area that interests the student.

Instruments: Voice

They learn scales, intervals, vocal warm-ups, basic improvisation, repertoire (based upon requested style), different vocal techniques, arpeggiation and articulation exercises. For vocal technique I mostly use Bob Stoloff and Michelle Weir books, but I am always adding new material following today's industry. I also incorporate bacic production and arranging techniques, so my students have an opportunity to produce their songs and creat online profiles with their songs. Adults (18+) are learning based upon their previous musical background: during our first lesson we set our goals and we directly work towards them. Read More
