Instruments: Piano Organ Synthesizer Accordion Keyboard
For beginning students who are children, I typically start with basic elements. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo reperoire, appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in,find thesongs accordingly to the students ability and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level.

Music is part of my life. Play my violin is my true passion. Four years ago I discovered that I also have the ability to teach everything I have learned throughout my 13 years in the music industry to other people. Nowadays, I am studying at the University of Tampa the Music Performance Major. I am planing to get also a degree in Music productions and International Business in the future. Read More
Instruments: Piano Organ Synthesizer Accordion Keyboard
Over the past 30 years I have stayed true to this concept in all things musical ( including teaching ). I have performed at many different venues all over the world ( fom hotels to cruiseships,to concert halls.). I have also taught many students around the world. Not every audience likes the same type of music so the performer has to be versatile. Similarly, not every student likes the same kind of music so the teacher should be able to adapt. Read More
Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
My teaching experience started with Olivet Boys and Girls club in college. There, I started teaching a choral group, glee club, private piano lessons, and group piano lessons. I did this for roughly ~5 years. I also taught lessons prior to this to beginner students throughout high school. I took private lessons from the age of 7 years old for about 13 years, and continue to practice and play daily (it's important to keep challenging yourself). Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I first started teaching in the 1990s, in Boston, MA., both privately, and at Berklee College of Music. Since moving to Sarasota, I've taught voice/chorus at Out Of Door Academy and IMG Academy. I've thoroughly enjoyed working with students who are motivated to learn and grow, sing for their personal pleasure, and/or with professional goals in mind. I like to instill joy as well as self discipline. Being from Montreal, I speak English and French fluently, as well as other languages, and love teaching people of every age and cultual background.

I encourage all creativity and I am passionate about education and the effects music has on educational abbilities. I like to focus on discipline while making learning fun and interactive. Read More
Instruments: Piano
Each student is different, so I use different method books to suit how he or she learns. One student may learn quickly in note reading while another is stronger in memorization. I use classical repertoire to give the students a solid foundation, and then as they progress, I will introduce popular songs that they love. I incorporate music theory in all of my lessons because knowing theory opens many doors to what one can do with music! Read More

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
The great Suzuki taught through the mother-tongue method. He believed that learning music was similar to learning a language. My view aligns with his philosophy. I believe that students are ready to start learning music as soon as they are ready to begin learning how to speak. The process of learning music is very similar to the process of learning language: trial and error is essential, and mapping the meaning of musical tones is a lot like learning to map the meaning of words.
When will I start to see results?
Results are not about speed. The first thing to understand about music is that almost all of the difficulties are due to not understanding something. If you start from the standpoint that music should be easy, then the only task is learning how to make it easy. In this way, music is a series of exercises in self-exploration.
I believe that results can be achieved every time you pick up your instrument. If you try to make it better each time you play, you are learning something. On the other hand, it can take more than a lifetime to master. It ultimately depends upon your goals and your level of determination.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I was very lucky to have good teachers growing up. I started playing the violin before the first grade. My elementary school had a Suzuki program, so I learned how to play by ear for the first four or five years of my training. My elementary school teacher was my first major inspiration because he showed us how good it felt to achieve something.
My private teachers, especially my theory teachers, really solidified my interest in music. In particular, my violin teacher in high school played with a major symphony orchestra, and he showed me what the highest level of musicianship looked like.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing effectively is a very subjective experience, but I have a few words of advice. The most important aspect of practicing is realizing that almost every musical issue happens above the shoulders, not below them. In other words, you should approach practicing from the perspective that all difficulties are due to a lack of understanding and not a lack of physical skill. If you start from the assumption that everything should be easy and it is only a matter of figuring out how to make it easy, it is a lot more effective than starting from the standpoint that it should be hard.
