Music Lessons in Revere, MA

Instruments: Piano Music

My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part time 24years ago, and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio for the last 11years. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More

Instruments: Piano

For young students starting piano lessons for the first time, I recommend either Bastien or Faber's piano Adventure method books. My older students love Alfred's books. These method books, in my opinion, have motivating pieces and give the students a solid foundation in theory and scales. I also use supplementary materials such as Dozen a Day, Czerny, Kabalevskiy. For students of all ages, I stress that the ears are the most important part of playing or listening to music. Read More

My methods are tailored to the exact, specific needs of the individual student. I frequently check in with my students to make sure all of their questions are being answered, everything makes sense and, most importantly, they are having fun while learning their instrument. Setting and working towards goals is a huge part of my method. I break down the seemingly colossal task of deciphering the guitar and present it in easy to digest, understandable lessons that not only inspire my students to practice but constantly engage and inspire my students to grow and to ask questions which leads to further knowledge.

I listen to what the student has to say, and also hone in on where they are currently in their musicianship. This allows me to really see what areas need to be focused on specifically. I strongly encourage students to push themselves and will often provide slightly more challenging material to help them improve. One of the most rewarding moments is seeing a concept/idea click with a student. The lightbulb moment is absolutely inspiring, not just for students, but for everybody else involved as well.

I believe I am unique musically, in the sense that my passion for performing is rivaled equally by my passion for teaching. I love to share what it is that I have spent the majority of my life honing, and working on; in fact I feel that it is my responsibility as a contemporary musician to relay all the good things I have learned on to others within mine and the next generation of musicians.
