I believe in a balance between challenging my students and encouraging them. Students are at their very best when they feel affirmed and empowered, but also when the teacher is aware of their full potential and pushes them to achieve that. I believe in a very detailed approach where I am actuely aware of each of the student's particular strengths and areas for improvement and closely monitor their progress in areas of technique, musicality, expression, articulation, facility, and finesse.

An important component in my teaching process is assessment. First I need to understand long-term goals of the student. What does "taking piano lessons" mean to you. If you want to learn piano and go through Bach preludes and Brahms reductions great! But that is not the entire scope of what private lessons can offer an individual. Often the student doesn't know what specifically excites him/her. For younger students especially, broadening horizons is important. Read More

Music Education is crucial to the development of todays student for tomorrows world. According to Plato, Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything. The benefits and impact that Music Education has on the lives of children and adults alike are paramount. Unlike any other academic subject, music engages the mind, body, and spirit. Through Music Education, students develop an aesthetic temperament that goes well beyond that of their non-musical counterparts. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I am flexible and I adapt my method to the student. I like to start students out with learning scales right away. If you can learn the scales, it makes learning new songs so much easier. Plus, they are great excercise for building agility. I also like to use a book called "A Dozen a Day" which includes more excercies for building agility and helping students master more difficult levels of music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Viola Saxophone
Every student is unique. Therefore, a student's learning process should complement that uniqueness. I like to take time to figure out exactly what "speaks" to a student. What really works for some is completely lost on others. I tailor my instruction to their wants and needs, and take close note of the activities to which they respond well. In doing so, the student meets their goals in a quicker and more enjoyable way. Read More

I have been singing since the tender age of three! I have loved singing and performing since then. This love has propelled me into the classrooms where I honed my craft. I also learned the discipline of practicing on other instruments as I went through high school at Emerson School for the Visual and Performing Arts. I graduated with honors as a vocal major. I later attended Wabash College and graduated as the only music major in the class of 2003. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone Music
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If it is a child, the lesson must be set up as a game and the child must be engaged. I still recommend an introductory interview with the teacher
When will I start to see results?
The results are directly proportional to the student's interest in music. I had a Chinese student who wanted to learn at all costs, starting from almost zero and in a couple of months, with a frequency of two hours a week. He started improvising jazz - at a good level for a neophyte - with a good timing and an intoned sound. The student practiced every day and followed the lessons with a lot of interest.
It depends on the student's ability and willingness to apply themselves.
The teacher has the task to push the student and stimulate him/her, the student has the task to participate in the lessons actively studying and preparing for lessons.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes, I was lucky enough to study with many musicians, many of them were very famous (as you can read from my CV), others were less known but equally important in my journey.
Each of them taught me something different. The rules are fundamental but it is more important how you use them in your own language.
That's why every musician is different from one another. The teachers helped me to see the different aspects and above all, they transferred to me their love and respect for music.
I think I was lucky, but I also think this happened because I wanted to learn how to play jazz
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Organize well the time you have available for your daily practice; use the clock! Divide the time you have, the number of exercises you need to do.
Remember to organize your week well, write your targets for the week or period in a notebook, and breakdown your targets for the time you have at hand.
For example, if in a week you have to study the major scale in all the keys, with attached arpeggios, divide this work across 7 days. Make sure you have time every day to repeat what you learned the day before. Remember that in a daily practice you have to face different points and you must also find the time to play freely. Do not be scared, if you organize yourself well, you can do everything. In class, I will help you set up your work at home.
