Instruments: Voice
No one student is the same, and I create custom vocal exercises for each student. I will also choose music for students who don't have their own or would like ideas to set them in the right direction. I usually devote some time to teaching sight-reading in my lessons when someone is unsure of how to read music, and the rest of the time will be focused on the actual mechanics of vocal production and performing.

Instruments: Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
The guitar has a poor reputation as a serious instrument, when it fact it is quite difficult, even physically un-natural to play. Bad habits can not only set you back, but take a great deal of time and effort to un-do, and can even cause physical pain or damage. I can't understate the importance of selecting a guitar teacher who has extensive experience with physical technique, and how it can free the guitarist from sluggish learning, frustration and most musical limits in their playing.

Instruments: Flute
Learning the flute is not easy, and for some learning to improvise can be just as challenging. My goal is to make the learning experience fun for the student, and to help them master their instrument and become a great improviser. Read More

I want to show you that music can be the most exciting and enriching experience in your life! The best way for a student to grow and succeed as a musician is to enjoy playing. There is an enormous amount of practice that comes with learning an instrument, but if you become passionate about playing, then the urge to practice will come naturally. We will work together to establish a long term goal. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Double Bass Acoustic Guitar
I graduated there with honors. For many years now, I have been consistently and uninterruptedly working at the highest level of music in South America. Mainly as a guitarist and electric bass player, but also as music arranger, composer and educator. I have achieved widespread recognition throughout South America, working consistently at the highest levels of music in Argentina. That is why I was granted in 2023 with an O1 visa to work in the United States. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet
I'm a graduate of Syracuse University with a Bachelors degree in Music Industry and a Masters in Music Education. After graduation,I worked as a substitute music teacher in public schools. Currently, I am employed by Columbia Records and teach private clarinet, saxophone and piano lessons. Read More
Instruments: Piano
Rather than academic performance, I want my students to love playing and feel personal satisfaction in the skills they have gained. Learning piano is a long-time investment so I try to encourage patience and perseverance. We set goals each week that help to motivate and keep track of the students progress. With younger students, the parents support is vital. Every week I make sure to keep them informed of what the student is working on so they can offer support and encouragement at home. 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.
