Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Ukulele Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I try to approach each student as an individual. Every student has their own level of enthusiasm, patience, willingness, and availability. Learning music should always be fun and rewarding first and foremost. I believe in building a good teacher/student relationship and pushing my students beyond what they believe their limits are. Learning music is a never ending process. I want my students to be able to learn and grow outside of the lesson room. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I am a very experienced piano teacher, having taught the instrument for many years to students as young as four. Currently, I do not accept students under the age of ten, except in exceptional circumstances. While I enjoy helping beginners learn their way around the piano, I am also qualified to teach advanced students and can be of particular assistance to those who wish to reach the highest level.

The most rewarding part of being a teacher is to see your students grow and love their musicianship. Music is a language that is more universal than any other language in the world! Passing on the knowledge and works of composers and artists from yesterday to today. I set realistic goals for my students that are achievable and rewarding. I tend to look on the positive side of each performance and I teach through kindness humor and respect. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute Organ Synthesizer Recorder Piccolo Keyboard
Each student has their own learning pace and choice of music and I enjoy customizing each lesson for every student. It's fun to watch the student play the music and songs that they like and especially the songs that they always wanted to play after working on the more difficult pieces. When the student can read music it opens up a world of musical possibilities. I like to explain why the music is composed the way it is . Read More
Instruments: Violin
I began studying the recorder in Israel at the age of five. Keenly interested in music, I embarked on my lifelong love of the violin at age seven when I began violin studies with Leon Asa. After emigrating to the United States in 1958, I continued my early violin studies with the late Emily Cleve Gregerson of Omaha, Nebraska. In 1967, while an undergraduate at the University of Chicago, I was accepted as an advanced violin student by Elliot Golub, who was at the time a member of the Contemporary Chamber Players at the University of Chicago under Ralph Shapey, and a founder of the acclaimed Music of the Baroque series in Chicago.

Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet
My teaching style is focused on playing as much as possible and encouraging good practice habits. The most important thing I can do as a teacher is teach my students good practice habits! This includes showing students not only WHAT to practice, but HOW to practice it. By spending as much time as possible in the lesson playing together, I have found that my students have more fun playing in the lesson, learn more, and in turn practice more during the week!

What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My dream piece to perform would probably any song that I have written. I don't feel the need to learn other people's music because I don't see where that will get me in life. My students can learn any piece they want to learn if they feel that they will become a better musician that way. I will definitely teach my students how to write their own music if they want. I have heard so many songs in this world that I think people will get tired of them eventually. That is why I choose to write songs and not learn other people's songs.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I don't think I would be doing anything instead. The problem with me is that I have some disorders that keep me from having a normal job. I believe there is something wrong with the Basal Ganglia part of my brain. There mustn't be enough metabolism, oxygen, and blood flow going to that part of my brain. I am getting tested soon by neuropsychologists to see what exactly is wrong with me. I think I have Basal Ganglia Disorder. The symptoms for this disorder are exactly what I have wrong with me. These symptoms are: ADHD, poor memory, loosing the thread of a conversation, and tics from head to toe, internally and externally.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I don't know if I have a favorite style or genre of music to play. I guess style wise, I like to play a lot of notes and play fast. I could also play slow and consistent as well. I like to be creative and have a nice artistic input when it comes to creating songs or helping others write songs and parts. I do like playing some sort of rock music the most. For piano, I like playing any genre. For drums, I like playing loud stuff, but I could also pull out a pair of brushes and play some soft jazz music that I am creating for my jazz album.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I started out on guitar. My uncle taught me a few chords. A few weeks later, I started teaching him. That is when we realized that I had a musical gift. I have something called perfect pitch, which one out of ten thousand people get. I used that perfect pitch to help teach me other instruments. Piano was my next instrument. Every year after that I would get an instrument that my dad would buy me. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be able to teach myself how to play so many instruments. I taught myself many instruments and after about 23 instruments, that's when I stopped counting and just started telling people that I can play any instrument. I can probably play at least 10 instruments proficiently and play along to any song or genre with those instruments. If I had more time in this world, I would be able to perfect my skills on every instrument.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My mom sings in the shower and my dad plays drums on his stomach. However, my uncle is a hippy and stuck in the 1960's. I learned a few chords on guitar from him and a few weeks later, I started teaching him guitar as if I played it for many years. My brother also plays a lot of instruments but sadly, he doesn't have perfect pitch like me. I wish he had it too so that he could tune his own guitar at practice quickly instead of having me do it, even though I enjoy tuning other people's instruments.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
As soon as I played my first instrument at the age of six years old, I knew right then and there that I would play music as a profession for the rest of my life. I always wanted to be famous and use my skills to help other people. Playing music at benefits to help raise money for organizations is a great way to help save the lives of many people all over the world. I want other people to learn how to play music so that they can use it as their profession and help other people around the world with their musical skills.
