Instruments: Piano Music
I have had the opportunity to perform ever since I was a little boy. I began performing for Catholic Mass in the church at ten years old, and I was the lead pianist for six years. I was also the piano accompanist for most of my school functions, in addition to spending all of my free time growing up playing Piano and studying music theory. Music and Piano have brought incomparable joy throughout my life, and I look forward to working with you to achieve your musical goals! Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I like my students to bring a small notebook, so that they may write their homework down, and any practice assignments. I expect my students to keep a practice log of how much time they practice per week, in between lessons. I always insist that setting goals and expectations for them, is very important, as well as keeping track of whether they themselves are staying on task. I try and incorporate different ways of practicing or playing music, so that even practicing turns into being fun and exciting and doesn't feel like a chore. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
For me, reading notes is essential, because it opens up the entire musical literature. So that is what I start with. Counting is equally important, so I start with that as soon as possible. I usually work with Bastien Technique. I like the way the book is organised. In addition I give pieces for them to learn, according to their difficulty. I always plat the pieces first to make sure the student will enjoy working on the piece. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Flute Keyboard
While studying music in college, I always enjoyed helping my classmates with their particular questions regarding accessing their voice, improving their range, playing piano, or how to start learning to play the flute. While still in school, I shadowed and assisted my piano professor with teaching piano and rock band at a public school. I began teaching privately about three years ago. I believe that flexibility and creativity is key when working with students. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
I try to relate the student's study of their instrument to their school work and what music they might be studying in school or encountering in their daily lives. With adults it is important to discover what other music lessons they have had and what their experiences with music have been. During lessons I give much attention to detail and attempt to balance discipline with the student's enjoyment of the experience. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Accordion French Horn Music Keyboard
As a multi-instrumentalist, I've loved teaching piano, accordion, and brass instruments to all ages and levels the past +20 years. I've lived, taught, and performed around the world: after earning my bachelor of music in piano performance degree alongside my bachelor of music in horn performance degree in Kansas, I went to the New England Conservatory in Boston for my master's in horn. I was lucky to have received full scholarships for all my degrees. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone French Horn Tuba
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I was lucky enough to have been born in a musical family. My mother is a piano teacher and my father is a violinist. As a child, there was always music in my home, both from my parents and their friends. My mother taught me piano lessons while my father took me to see the orchestra in which he played. My parents had a music school where I also took general music classes, and learned to sing. By the time I was 12 years old and began to take trumpet lessons, I had a solid foundation in solfege, reading and writing music.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Focus on what you don't know. There is always something new to learn, so it is important to focus your practicing on new music or skills that you have not yet mastered. Avoid practicing for long periods of times without resting. Ideally, the most effective way to practice is in short bursts throughout the day. This will keep you engaged in what you are doing and will also keep you from becoming too tired physically. Listen to the best music possible. Music is about imitation, so if you imitate good music you will sound good.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
The average age for a child to begin trumpet lessons is between 9 and 10. Depending on the child, he/she may be able to start taking lessons as early as 8 years old. If your child is much younger than that, do not shy away from music. This is a great time to get them started with piano lessons as well as general music classes that will greatly contribute to their overall intellectual and psychological development. A student that begins to play another instrument after taking piano lessons is much more likely to succeed and develop faster.
When will I start to see results?
This will depend on many different factors such as; if the student has an instrument or is able to have a place to practice, parent involvement when practicing, previous musical knowledge, if the student was taught good habits or not, current level of student (beginner, intermediate, advanced).
If the student is starting from scratch, they may be able to produce a sound right away or it may take a couple of lessons. As for the intermediate students, he/she will see an improvement in their sound in a month or two. For the advanced students, change is much more difficult than the beginners and intermediate students so it will always take more time, however the results tend to be more drastic.
