Instruments: Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Latin Percussion Music

I tailor my methods to suit my students' unique musical needs and goals and adjust them overtime as the students' abilities grow. For beginners, we will work to develop a strong foundation in the basics of music such as instrument layouts, basic stick and mallet control, sheet music and rhythm reading, and playing in time. For more advanced students, we will focus on a variety of topics such as touch, tone color, interpretation, aural skills, music theory, score study, and musicianship. Read More

Instruments: Piano Keyboard

I have been teaching for over 40 years. In my studio, my focus is on repertoire, however I also cover ear training, theory and composition. I teach all styles of music with a focus on the classical repertoire. The theory, composition and ear training will often coincide with the style of music being studied. I provide 2 or 3 recitals every year where students have a chance to listen to others perform and find new music they have possibly not heard and would enjoy to learn. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Classical Guitar

I generally begin with Alfred's Guitar Method for very young students or adult students who are interested in learning the rudiments of music. For intermediate students we work on polishing technique. I also use the Royal College of Music series for young students who are interested in taking the ABRSM placement exam. I have adult students who also want to learn songs they enjoy listening to, so we work with tablature (numbers). Read More

Instruments: Piano

For beginning students who are children, I always start with fundamentals in music thoery, then are then applied to the first exercises (Beyer and Czerny) and beginner-level pieces. Once the young student is ready, I will discuss about his or her personal taste, and find solo pieces that are suitable for the level acquired, but also enjoyable. For adult students, I usually discuss about the level and goal they would like to reach. Read More

I first started teaching in 2008 in Paris, for groups of 10 students. I have had 3-5yo classes, 6-8 and 9 to 12. It was a very enriching experience to teach for such a young age, and very challenging to have so many students in the same class room! I have since then moved to New York City, and have been teaching one on one lessons for piano, guitar and voice. I adapt to the student's needs and interests. Read More
