Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Bass Guitar Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Djembe Acoustic Guitar
My teaching style is grounded in my own absolute love for music! This passion translates through in my teaching, which hopefully results in successful student learning. I also believe that the teacher needs to develop a rapport with the student, in order for successful learning. Furthermore, as previously stated, I've studied pedagogy at the undergraduate level. I realize what it takes to be a successful teacher, and believe in the importance of exposing young people, as well as folks of all ages, to music and the arts. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
I have been teaching privately for almost 4 years. I train students on whatever they want to learn, but make sure to incorporate the basic fundamentals needed for good singing I also spent time teaching in public schools as a high school choir director and elementary general music teacher. This gave me experience working with a wide age range of students, and helped me develop different techniques for different age groups. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I participated in several music salons, lectures and performances, as well as presenting myself as a judge for different piano competitions. In May 2017, I received my dual degree in Master of Piano Performance and advance certificate of Piano Performance and Piano Pedagogy. At the same time, I was engaged in different music Performances within and around New York City, including a collaboration project with the Carnegie educational team as well as a collaborated six-sided keyboard performance with the famous music producer/ composer, Mark Mothersbaugh, at the Skirball center.

For teens and adults that are just starting I love using Alfred's All In One Piano Course. This book covers piano lesson materials, music theory and technique (exercises). Adults tend to progress pretty quickly and when they do I will give them supplementary music based on what they most love to play. Many adults have had lessons as a child and return to the piano to study with me. And in that case I'll give them a quick refresher course and move them into what they really want to play as quickly as possible. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
My teaching style is very simple, "Give a man a fish, and you'll feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you'll feed him for a lifetime." This is my philosophy of teaching. I am extremely enthusiastic about arts education and passionate about teaching. Ever since I started teaching music with a focus on early childhood music, I have been passionate in my commitment to three things: maximizing individual student performance, inspiring students’ interest in music and technology as well as instilling a sense of self-worth among all students!

I'm a Creative, Passionate, Music Loving person and Instructor. I share my experience of decades of private music instruction. I studied with the great master Lennie Tristano who presented me in Solo concert performance. I played Town Hall NYC and recorded a tribute album there to rave reviews in the New York Times. I have played concerts throughout the tri-state area as well as in Europe. I love to tailor each lesson as a custom fit for each individual students needs! Read More
Instruments: Piano Bass Guitar Double Bass
I've been a musician for almost longer than I can remember and teaching has been the greatest part of my musical journey so far! I've been teaching for 4 years privately and have been teaching through Guitar Center for 1 year as well as teaching through other private lesson applications. I've seen that students grow faster in places that they're more passionately driven, so I want to provide a space for any student to learn or take steps to learning what they want to on their instrument, while also providing structure and giving other feedback along the way.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If a child sings or taps on things when they hear music, or even when they do not, it could be an indication that they have some innate talent. If they are just going along with the crowd because their friend is in the band that is usually an indication that they are really not that interested in the music itself. Those situations are not necessarily bad either because while playing with other children they may recognize some connection to the music. Students who want private instruction need to find an instructor that they can easily understand and identify with.
When will I start to see results?
If a student practices every day for a week they will immediately see the difference. Unfortunately most students do not believe this. I see this at all levels. I have always made my practice sessions enjoyable. I really enjoy playing so I try to get my students excited about it as well. I like to practice first thing in the morning. This is the great thing about keyboards as opposed to pianos. Keyboards allow for much more privacy because they can be can be turned down or sent through headphones only. Practicing is not a social event so the more focused a students is when they practice the better.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had a very good private instructor in high school who was an older gentleman who had made a career for himself as a professional musician and instructor. Working on my own now in the same field, I can see why he was always happy. He really took an interest in his students and had a very successful practice. As a younger musician, I was more focused on performing. At this point, I get as much satisfaction out of private teaching. In private practice, I have the chance to really focus on the development of my students.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Always go through things slowly and then in various tempos. It is important to play in a very relaxed state and to listen carefully to what you are playing. I use tuners extensively. Metronomes are good as well but they must be used properly. It makes no sense to set metronomes to meters that we cannot follow. Also, people often set metronomes improperly. Students may not feel meters in jazz when the metronome is set to 4/4 because jazz feels much more like 2/2. Music that is written in 6/8 may be played better if it was played with a feeling of two as well.
