Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I have been playing music for over 30 years, starting with the drums at age 12, and then guitar at age 14. I attended Berklee College of Music and graduated cum laude with a B.A. in Professional Music in 1995. My main areas of focus while in college was jazz composition and performance. I have been teaching professionally since 1996, and have since picked up other instruments such as bass, piano, and alto sax. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
My method is very personalized to the student. For piano, I love using the Faber Piano Adventure series for both little ones through adult. They do an excellent job formatting their age-appropriate materials to students and get them playing and learning to read music early on in the learning. For voice, I devise my own warm up exercises that tailor to the needs of the student. Breath, diction, resonance, body posture, and tension are among some of the technical priorities I have when teaching voice. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I start teaching when I was in high school, I help my students to pass the piano proficiency test. When I go to my undergraduate, my teachers offer me a lot of teaching opportunities. I am really enjoying it, because the students come in with no experience, and they can perform a song, even they can have their own recital. But I want them play for fun, fun to play. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I'm an enthusiastic and encouraging instructor, who loves to share my passion for music with stduents. In 2012, I graduated from Ithaca College with Bachelor of Music degrees in Music Composition and Music Theory. I spent the past year teaching composition, choral directing, and accompanying undergraduate performance majors at a study abroad institute in Vienna, Austria. I will be starting a Master of Music degree in Theory this Fall. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Cello Bass Guitar
I always try to guide my instruction in a fun and engaging direction to keep the student interested and motivated to get better. I am able to do this by being energetic and enthusiastic about my teaching and I feel its important to make the material matter to the student. When a student has confidence in their abilities they are able to achieve much success on their specific instrument. As I also previously mentioned, getting to know what inspires a student and knowing them on a more personal level helps develop a better student/teacher relationship and thus yields a better outcome on the instrument.

Instruments: Piano
For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Alfred's Prep Course Level A which provides strong basic skills in all relevant areas; such as, note reading, rhythm, piano theory etc. I normally advice students to follow Alfred's recommended steps until they reach Level 2. Then, in preparation for basic and more advanced classical pieces, I will introduce students with fingers practice "Hanon" and other fun yet effective program. Read More
Instruments: Voice Recorder
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I use the Alfred book It’s Recorder Time for the Recorder because they are the best at teaching the basic method of learning. Also the Alfred book includes a collection of 37 solos and duets and trios for ALL occasions. It covers note chart for the soprano recorder. It cover the recorder family soprano, alto, the tenor, the bass. It teaches the student how to hold the recorder, the production of tone, and how to care for the recorder. This book helps getting acquainted with music it covers notes, the staff, and the treble clef.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
During practice session the students will repeatedly go over Music that was covered that day.
I have a common “practice for 30 minutes” rule, I recommend the child practice 30 minutes a day and generally increase this time as they get older. In attempts to reenforce what they learned. First, divide the week’s goal into seven equal parts and make sure your child understands each one.
Daily goals should be attended to every day and should involve playing scales or other technique-building skills; advancement on specific pieces can be more spread out, as long as the child continues to move forward with the piece.
Progress should be measured and appropriately altered each day (if needed) by analyzing the amount of effort, frustration and completion/advancement in reaching the daily goals.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
All of my students went from elementary to junior high school prepared for the next level in their music journey.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
When your instrument is your voice, understanding how to be flexible with your tone is the hardest thing to master. Your tone matters. When you are singing correctly you will find that you can "mix" your different vocal registers in with each other. And when you can do this, you will have access to many different vocal colors. You'll be able to sing quietly with a sweet angelic tone… you'll be able to sing with a more aggressive edge… you'll be able to sing powerfully by mixing more of your "chest" and mouth resonance into the tone… Vocal diversity is a must. It is very much about conditioning your singing muscles exactly as they were designed to. Unlike running, with singing there are usually LARGE improvements that can be made, the voice can do great things it just takes time.
