Instruments: Piano Voice Music

For young beginning piano students, I typically start with John Thompson's Modern Course for the Piano: The First Grade Book and move up throughout the series from there. For young beginning voice students, I start with lessons on proper breath support, sight-singing, intonation exercises, and warm-ups to shape their voice. For both my piano and voice students, I establish a strong, classical foundation that is built on fundamentals to get their instrument working properly and then branch out to other genres from there.

I am a highly-motivating guitar instructor, and am very passionate about what I do as both a teacher and professional musician. In 1999, I graduated from William Paterson University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music Studies, and in 1997 I also received a Guitar Performance Certificate from Berklee College of Music upon completion of their Summer Guitar Sessions program.
