Instruments: Piano
I keep a "Piano Homework Assignment" Word document for each student on my laptop which I can then email to you after your lesson is over for reference during the week. A usual assignment would consist of a "Warm Up" section where we focus on hand position or scales or technique, a "Lesson Book" or "Repertoire" section where we work on new pieces or songs, a "Theory" section for written assignments, a "Fun" list for pieces we are done with but want to keep playing just for fun and then a number of special sections depending on student interest. Special sections might be things like - improvisation, composition, playing by ear, recital or competition prep, exam prep, sight reading, ear training, etc. I'm comfortable in few method series but I prefer Faber Piano Adventures for typical beginning children and The Music Tree for very young beginners. I try to make sure each student has a piece they love every week. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
For beginning piano students who are children, I usually start with Faber and Faber methods and performance books. I supplement with other solo materials as the student progresses. For beginning adult piano students, I use Alfred's Adult PIano Method. For the more advanced students, music is typically chosen from a variety of sources, so that the student is playing music that is challenging and enjoyable. Voice students generally begin with the basics of voice technique and singing. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Flute Harmonica Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
In my lessons, I value both exploring self expression and introducing new concrete information in each lesson. Self expression can manifest in picking songs we learn, learning how to improvise, exploring dynamics and tone quality, song writing, and countless other ways! Play and performance are very important to the learning process and are great ways to explore the skills my students acquire. I always encourage my students to seek out performance opportunities, the world needs your voice! Read More

I'm a energetic, thought-provoking, and creative voice/piano teacher who loves working with students of all ages and loves to help them grow and develop their technique.

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I wanted to play the saxophone at the age of 4 because an older family friend who was 9 at the time started playing it in beginning band, and I thought he was one of the coolest kids ever. So when I turned 9, it was inevitable that I'd also play the sax in beginning band. That's really the only reason I chose to play the it. The rest of my career with the instrument is just a series of good teachers and good decisions that made it more or less the centerpiece of my life. It could be that I'm somehow better suited for a different instrument or a different life style but, really, who cares? I have no objections to the life choice that I made at the age of 4.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I'm extremely proud of the three awards that Bard College gave me while I studied there. I think they accurately reflect a lot of really hard work that I put in to improve. But I'm most proud of my final concert as a second semester senior at Bard, which is harder to describe succinctly in resume-format. But for this concert I wrote an hour's worth of original material based on a book I read by late 20th century psychologist, Julian Jaynes. I wanted the concert to be one cohesive piece of music that really took the listener on some kind of journey. I feel that I was really successful in doing so. It is the most difficult project I've undertaken to date.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on the saxophone is probably the tone. Out of the gates, we know that everybody's tone is going to be different because one of the resonators of the saxophone is your own mouth and throat. So two people playing the exact same horn with all the same equipment will still sound different. To add to the conundrum, even after you've developed really good embouchure and breathing habits and feel like you're getting an authentic sound, there are still myriad mouthpieces, ligatures, reeds, even saxophone necks which you can mix and match, every combination giving you a different sound. So it's tough to know what to change if you want your tone to change. Do you need to refine your technique? Do you need different equipment? Possibly both.
