For beginning students I use the Bastien System. For Adults, I use The Alfred Adult beginner for Piano Lessons. I try to adapt the method to the skill of the student, which incorporates my own system, based on years of teaching. I teach according to the student;s skill, and at their own pace. I sometimes use the Trinity College of Music, london, syllabus. Classes consist of warming up exercises, then the student works on the music assigned and the Instructor gives it a grade. Read More

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Faber Piano Adventures. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire. For adults, I start with the Faber Adult Series as well as find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. My teaching philosophy is to focus on listening first, which helps students learn to read music more effectively. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums
Began teaching when I was in college. Had a good rapport with all my students. Always tried to teach them something they can use now(like a cool beat or fill), this way they get enthusiastic and stay with it. My wife talked me into teaching again. We were at the recording studio one day but had no bass player, but my friends son was there, so I taught him the basics in 10 minutes and we recorded right after. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
i encourage students to practice everyday if possible. Even if a student practices for 15 minutes daily they will notice progress in a few weeks. I constantly remind students to start using a timing source such as metronome and tap their foot to the beat. When music is executed effectively then its time to gradually increase speed.
Vocal students are encouraged to learn the scale and to practice breathing exercises daily if possible.
Rather than pushing for higher notes students should find their natural range and work on strengthening that part of their range. Developing healthy singing habits including diaphragmatic breathing is essential in vocal training.
When will I start to see results?
This depends on the individual. Some people progress faster than others. In my experience I have noticed that the average adult or adolescent student will notice progress in 4 weeks to 1 month. However this is under ideal circumstances if a person practices everyday (or almost everyday). Usually students measure progress by their ability to play their preferred music. Young school age children may develop skills faster with regular practice.
With Vocal students results may be noticed within two or three sessions. Of coarse this depends on many different variables. We are born with our ability to sing. However very few are born with perfect pitch. When a singer learns to breathe with the diaphragm they will notice an improvement right away. However we need to develop these healthy singing habits with regular practice. Our body is the musical instrument when singing which is why we need to "train" our brain and body.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
When a pre school age child (4 or 5 years) expresses a strong interest in playing an instrument this is a sign. Young children care nothing about self discipline so its up to the parents to encourage regular practicing. Every child has unique interest abilities. Although we all see preschool age children on you tube who seem to have mastered an instrument this is extremely rare. We need to impress on young children that playing an instrument is not instant but takes regular practice. Learning a musical instrument at a young age develops the synaptic connections in the brain. This development as well as learning self discipline can help your child in whatever discipline they pursue in the future even if they don't turn out to be a musical prodigy. Musical education can begin from day 1 by exposing children to music.
