I have had 25 years of experience teaching both privately and in the public schools of Abington, Mass. Many of my students have gone on to major in music in college. Many have become professional performers in jazz bands, concert bands, and symphony orchestras. I am a very positive thinking person, and always try to have this become an influence on the attitude of my students. I feel that learning to play a musical instrument is an integral part of developing self confidence, and getting along with others. Read More

I absolutely LOVE LOVE teaching the art of music appreciation from various styles and students learning interests. My teaching style is an extremely fun Positive hands on learning approach to music.

Instruments: Violin Viola

The way I approach teaching is very much a mix between tradition and improvisation. Every single student is different so I try to tap in to their personality and use that to help them. The work of learning the instrument is divided in 2 parts, the teachers part and the student. The teacher has to be clear, loving and practical to help the student progress. The students part is to consistently work at home to improve on the skills learned during the lesson. Read More

With beginning students, I like to use a combination of Alfreds Basic method books. I like the variety it gives students from fundamentals to performance tunes, sight reading and music theory. Students will progress from playing on black keys only, hands separately, to simple five key songs very quickly. We would also explore a few minutes in each lesson on games in music theory on iPad or with manipulatives so they will develop note reading skills. Read More

Instruments: Guitar

I have been teaching children of late, so I start with basic skills of holding the instrument and learning about the instrument and the strings notes. I usually use one of Hal Leonard books for a true reference point of fundementals. After that I begin to learn what music the student is intersted in and guitde my instruction accordingly and of course to maintain that level of fun in each lesson. Read More
