Instruments: Piano
There is no single definitive teaching method series. I try to tailor the method to the individual. For the beginning student, my personal favorite series is the Diller-Quaile because it offers a gradual and steady progression from basic to more complex. Also, the material presented is far more interesting than in most other collections. For a more advanced student, I generally assess their capabilities and very often introduce them to the Bach two and three part Inventions. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Organ Synthesizer

Instruments: Piano Voice Music
My teaching style involves setting realistic goals and making sure the environment is fun and invigorating. I always like to make sure I am teaching my students what they want to learn, but I do occasionally challenge them by assigning more advanced material that I envision them performing or think would be beneficial to them. I celebrate all of my students' achievements and always remind them of how far they have come, especially when they get to more difficult material that may test them. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums
I have a tremendous love of music. Music has greatly enhanced my life. I try to share this love of music with my students. I have a love of teaching. I try to share my musical knowledge with my students. I attempt to find the way to inspire students to find their way to pursue their musical studies. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I am a very nurturing, sensitive and engaging piano teacher and I love discovering what excites my student - then I can cater to their specific needs and strengths. I understand that children these days are so overbooked with activities and I appreciate parents who prioritize practice time: only 15 minutes of daily practicing makes an enormous difference. My teaching styles may vary, but the goal is always the same: to take the student as far as musically possible! Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Saxophone Flute Drums Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I began teaching music when I was 18, I began teaching private drums and piano lessons in my home studio, I've been consistently teaching students in my home studio for the last 7 years. Upon graduation, I got my first music teacher position at Rishon Lezion conservatory, I taught private saxophone, flute, drums, and piano lessons as well as group music theory lessons and directed students ensembles. I have learned through the years what a great impact a teacher as on his students and how important it is to give students a fun, encouraging experience. Read More
Instruments: Voice
I am passionate about singing. Whether I do it or someone else is doing it. I have been so lucky to study voice with some of the worlds greatest singers AND teachers. It only makes sense that I should pass on the knowledge that I have learned to others...So they can reach their goals! Ever since I graduated from UCF I have been a working as a teacher. Passing on knowledge is a gift. 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.
