Music Lessons in Old Westbury, NY

Instruments: Clarinet

I remember when I was in the 5th grade I was asked which instrument I would like to play. Since my best friend decided to play clarinet, I thought I would give it a shot. Little did I know that this was the first step in a whole musical journey including playing in orchestras, writing music, and forming my own Music Series! I'd like to work with students in a balance of what they feel is most important combined with proper fundamental technique. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar

I began teaching guitar/piano part-time during my teenage years at a Music School in Northern New Jersey.  As of now I have 20+ years of part time musical instruction experience.  I mostly travel to students' homes for musical instruction which helps me stress to their parents how very important practice and routine is in musical studies. I teach a mix of classical and modern music as it motivates my students to practice with something they are familiar with. Read More

Instruments: Violin

For my methods, I use a variety of books and create a diet of exercises and pieces that will build on fundamentals - from open strings, to scales and etudes like Schradieck, Kreutzer to pieces from the Suzuki Method as well as other options such as Nardini Concerto in b minor or Haydn Concerto in G Major. The method I use is scaffolding from the very small building blocks of technique and lead up to a mastery of each piece assigned. Read More
