Instruments: Piano Voice Flute Piccolo
Teaching is the best decision I have ever made in my entire career. When students first start I always ask them what their goals are and what they would like to work on. My goal for them is to watch them grow into the best musicians they can be because I see so much potential in them. For band students, during marching band camp, I asked my students to play what they could and gave them feedback afterward including suggestions on how to correct bad habits early on. Read More
Instruments: Violin
I am extremely passionate and devoted to teaching, and love to share the incredible discovery of music-making with my students. I love spending time with people and learning what makes each unique individual tick. My studies have brought me from Bostons New England Conservatory to Europe to Los Angeles to New Yorks own Juilliard School. Ive had amazing opportunities to share music and art with colleagues, students, and mentors from around the world on stages as big as Carnegie and Alice Tully Halls to small and intimate house concerts.

Instruments: Flute Piccolo Music Keyboard
I believe the most important thing about learning music is that they have to first enjoy playing the flute. I make students practice and expect them to go to certain levels, but I first make them fall in love with the flute first. For 1 hour flute lessons, I usually spend 10 minutes on tone(sound quality) and air usage, since these are the most important fundamentals of learning the flute. For next 20 minutes, I work on techniques including scales. Read More
Instruments: Drums
I am a freelance drummer based in New York City, and I have been performing regularly since 2004. As a performer, I've been fortunate to gain valuable experience performing, touring and recording with numerous bands in varying genres, which has allowed me to travel the world to perform and teach. I have performed at a number of New York City's top jazz venues, including Dizzy's Club, Birdland Jazz Club, The Jazz Standard, The Jazz Gallery, Smalls Jazz Club, and others. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Cello Viola Keyboard
I set up each lesson of what and how to practice at home. So whatever we do in the lesson, is what you are to do in your personal practice, making it super easy! I suggest each students sits with the instrument at least 3 days a week, not including lesson day. I give you fun and easy warm ups to explore how to use the instrument. Then we work on fun pieces to explore the many beautiful sounds of your instrument and your voice as musician. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Drums Bass Guitar
As students all have different tastes and skill levels, it is important for me to really be perceptive to their specific needs and teach them only what I feel they will be able to digest but at the same time present a new challenge to them that can be fun. It is my priority to make the lessons relaxed and most importantly, enjoyable. Music is difficult, and takes a lot of work, but it can also be so gratifying and liberating at the same time, and that's what I want my students to understand. Read More
Instruments: Clarinet
I am fortunate to have many opportunities to study with great teachers and perform diverse music in many different countries with wonderful musicians. Discovering music of different traditions and cultures helps understand the general purpose of music. What music is, why we need it and why we want to perform it. It is never about notes and scales, it is much more than that. This is what I am teaching my students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Trumpet Drums Bass Guitar Synthesizer Ukulele Recorder Double Bass Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I choose my primary instrument by chance. A friend asked if I would play bass in his band, and i said yes. He had an old bass laying around and I learned how to play by watching and listening to him. I fell in love with music and playing and finally took lessons. Playing the bass became my life. It has changed the way I think about everyday things in life. I hone in on small details and think about decisions I make all because I picked up my friends old bass. I do not know where I would be without it.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am proud of many musical accomplishments. When I first started playing I was asked to play gigs on Cape Cod, where I am originally from. I was paid very well and made connections that I hostel have til this day. Going to school for music is one of the biggest accomplishments. Going to school really helped me get organized with my music and life. I have managed bands and played in them. I have played really great venues in NYC, venues you hear your favorite bands have played. I have played with grammy award winning musicians, and have met countless friends through music.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I have had private students go on to high school bands and have been accepted to college because they have played music. I have students who were very grateful just to have played in my school band. Success, for them, is something I would hear when they said thank you to me for staying after school to help them learn a piece of music or a scale. I have given awards to my students because they have gone above and beyond what was asked of them. Some students have started their own bands in hopes of playing in NYC.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on your instrument is being as good as you want to be. Playing an instrument takes constant practice. You cannot stop just because you have reached your goal. You have to sustain your goal by practicing and learning more. Music is infinite in that way. I would say technique is very hard to master since there are many techniques to choose from, but learning when not to play is the even harder. Knowing when not to play makes or breaks a musician. Great musicians know when to lay out and when to play technical.
