Music Lessons in Times Square, NY

Instruments: Drums Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion

I offer a personalized approach to learning the drums, and customize the layout of my curriculum to meet each student's specific needs. I use many traditional teaching methods, and incorporate them into lessons, including: Bower System Moeller Stroke Stone Method (Stick Control) Reed Method (Syncopation) Chapin Method In lessons, we focus on technique, fundamentals, and grasping the basic elements of the instructional material. It is up to students to continue practicing diligently and consistently between lessons to advance their skills. Read More

Instruments: Flute Piccolo

I like to start my lessons with sound exercises to establish a good tone and then move on to the more technical part.

I like to show my students how to isolate one specific technical aspect, work on it but also stay aware of the big picture and incorporate their technical skills in the flute repertoire. Read More

I grew in artistry and performed some of my own works in New York, Philadelphia, and New Jersey. Read More
