My teaching experience dates back to my teenage years where I taught beginner students the basics of piano.Later in my college days I helped students with limited musical backgrounds learn the basics of music theory. I believe beginner piano students should start with the basics but also learn contemporary chord theory so they can soon begin to play with others.This is more important if they are older.I think this combination is helpful in motivating them to practice which creates the fastest progress.

I cater each lesson to each individual students needs. The thing that I love about teaching private lessons is that each and every student is different.

What drove you to want to learn your instrument? Who inspires you? I look forward to learning all these things and MORE about you! Read More

I am a younger instructor who is very excited and passionate about the inter- and intra-personal aspects of music and teaching music. First discovering my love of performing and problem solving through chamber music, I have since received a dual degree from UMass Amherst in Music and Social ThoughtPolitical Economy, and I am now pursuing my Masters of Music in Cello Performance at Boston University. One of my biggest challenges and fascinations with music has been how to balance efficiency and honesty with kindness and graciousness in working with others and myself, and it's something I love to explore with my students.

While lessons need to be well-structured to make sure that a student learns all the proper foundation work, there should be plenty of space for fun and creativity within these boundaries to maintain a healthy relationship with music.
