Instruments: Voice
One of my favorite parts of teaching is supporting my students in the development of their authentic voices. Every student is unique and special in their own way, that's why I tailor each lesson for that specific student and I meet them exactly where they are. This allows the student to progress at their own pace. I encourage this development by setting realistic goals for each lesson, and acknowledging their accomplishments. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Violin
So excited to be here and on this journey with you! I am a singer, violinist, pianist, and writer who is passionate about bringing vibrant music experiences. This passion has opened up doors for me to bring my talents to places such as Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and The Stephen Colbert Show. I have had the opportunity to back up artists such as Andra Day and H.E.R. I have 2 spaces that I teach in, depending on the needs. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet
So I typically take a very relaxed approach during the first few lessons, to get the student to loosen up and feel comfortable, all while observing the student in order to assess their strengths and weaknesses, and figure out what types of music the student is interested in making. Then I can tailor their future lessons so that their goal of playing that type of music is never forgotten, or overshadowed by lots of "exercises" they feel aren't fun. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Ukulele Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I come from a classical background, receiving a bachelor's degree in classical guitar performance, thus my expertise is in classical music, flamenco, folk, fingerpicking, and just acoustic guitar in general. However, I have experience in electric guitar and bass guitar as well, playing rock, pop, blues, and many other styles. I have performed in classical ensembles, rock bands, and currently perform as a solo artist. These different playing and music styles have given me great flexibility, both as a performer and an instructor. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
For my beginning students, depending on their age, I typically start with a music book, such as John Thompson, Faber or Bastien. I also use a Schaum Note Speller which is a lot of fun and helps progress with music reading. I also love to supplement these books with single sheet music favorites of the student. It is important that my student enjoys each lesson and playing a piece they may be familiar with encourages them to practice. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Voice Bass Guitar
Jason is an acclaimed professional guitarist, singer and songwriter who also teaches privately in Nassau County, Long Island, NY. Jason was a student of famed NYC guitarist and current Berklee school of music professor, Dave "Fuze" Fiuczynski, after first beginning his own guitar playing journey as a 10-year-old conservatory student on the south shore of Long Island. In addition to writing and performing full time, Jason has been teaching professionally for over 10 years and, in that time, has maintained a consistent student base of 25-30 students at a time, guys and girls, men and women, ranging in ages from 10 to 75.

Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
It has always been my joy when I see my students later on perform music that they love. Thus, I as a music teacher, would be more than willing to help my students sing and make music at their own level and eventually climbs up the musical ladder. To do this, setting standards and specific and realistic objectives are a must. During the process, regular assessments are done so that students know their accomplishments and feel more comfortable making music. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Effective practicing does not mean practicing for hours on end. I believe there needs to be a balance between music, practice, and life. The proper technique is great for effective practice and technique is not just physical, it is mental too. I try to have my students practice ear-training, and learn music theory as well as play. This creates a well-rounded musician. I do not want to teach how to play an instrument. I want my students to learn all about music. This creates more than a musician. this creates a person who can take these skills throughout every aspect of life.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
I would say if your child asks to take lessons or shows an interest in an instrument than your child is ready to start to take lessons. I think five to six years old and up is a good age to start on certain instruments like piano. Guitar, bass, and other sting instruments are difficult because you would need a smaller scaled instrument in order for your child to play comfortably. Percussion instruments are a bit tricky as well, but like I said if a child shows interest it is always a good thing to start lessons.
When will I start to see results?
You should start to see results immediately. However, it may not be great progress. There is a to think about when a child, or anyone is taking music lessons. The person uses memory that they might not have used before, physical movements are different, and the person is reading a whole new language. Try to notice the small things and focus on the small accomplishments. The small things will equate to more progress in the future. I also do not think it is about noticeable progress. For example, there are musicians who practice a piece, a few bars of music, or a new technique and the practice will not come through until months later. It is always different for different people. Just ask, "is my child happy?" or "am I satisfied with the lesson?"
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I did not have a teacher who inspired to get into music. However, my first private teacher inspired me to go to college for music. He was a great inspiration to want to teach music and to want to learn. Now I have my masters degree from an ivy league university and I am going for a second masters degree and possibly a doctoral degree. The encouragement he gave me led me to play music professionally and make good money playing. I would have been lost without his guidance and advice. I am very thankful for his support.
